Acadia National Park

The park and Bar Harbor are beautiful take a look

Acadia National Park

Left the bay of Fundy National park this a.m. staying at a private camp ground Timberland Acres just a few miles from Acadia National Park in Maine .  It rained most of the way down here but hello USA and $2.86/gal gas. Everyday doesn't produce beautiful wide scenic vista's.  Fundy had 3 nice days then 24 hours of rain, 4 inches of it. Then a tire day, I fixed a slow leak in a truck tire then changed out a camper tire. Haddock for lunch. The next day leaving i had to drain the tanks in the rain then slammed my thumb in the camper door.
Headed for Bar Harbor in the morning,  going to mingle with a few thousand tourist's just getting off 2 cruise ships.
I did say this was an adventure didn't I.

Bay of Fundy

Arrived here about 2 pm yesterday, Bay of Fundy National park. staying here 4 days, lots to see. lots of pictures. Walked on the ocean floor at low tide at The Hope Well Rocks near here. largest tides in the world here. 46 ft from low tide to high tide. about 20 to 30 ft in the harbor, check out low and high tide pictures of the same boats. the water would be 20 ft above lorraines head 6 hrs later if she stayed right there. other pictures are from Fundy park also. 34 degrees this morning good weather but will rain for next couple of days.  oh by the way I ate a lobster for the first time. I'm not impressed yet

Halifax miracle..

it was a miracle we drove through Dartmouth and Halifax didn't know what any of the signs meant and came out the other side on the highway we had hoped for. I'm not exaggerating.  2 more nights in provincial parks. towns, Bridgewater,  Sable river,  Yarmouth,  Digby, in our rear view mirror. tonight in a walmart in North side of Nova Scotia.  Tomorrow we might make a run for the Bay of Fundy National Park over in New  Brunswick.  We like the coastal roads but today we spent an hour in the middle of a bicycle race.
The pictures. The first one is a fishing boat coming into Wood's Harbor N.S.

Feb 2013 a fishing boat just like this one left the same harbor and disappeared in a storm with 5 crewmen on board,  the Miss Alley.

Some of the others are of Fort Anne that the French and British kept fighting over its in the town of Annapolis Royal

Nova Scotia yet

we have been traveling along the southern coast almost all coastal roads which are sometimes rough and follow all the bays in and out, beautiful though.
For our camper friends this is how we roll.
Stayed at walmarts until we got just north of Quebec on the Gaspe peninsula, from then on we have stayed in national parks or provincial parks. we leave a campsite about 8 or 9 then about 2 pm we start to figure out where we are going to land. we have been reserving a spot a few hours ahead time using online reservation or phone.  We stop about 4 or 5 some places we stay more than 1 day. we probably wouldn't have to do that there seems to be plenty of open spots.. cost including a reservation  fee $23 to $35/night. most have limited electric and water hook up. We have the ability to boon-dock batteries or genny.
3800 miles so far. More Nova Scotia then on to N.B. and the Bay of Fundy.

more Cape Breton area

A couple more sites we liked on Cape Breton.  Highland Village museum in Iona Nova Scotia . 1750 to1850 Gaelic Scotland migration to Cape Breton.  lots of actual buildings and actors.
Second.  Fortress of Louisbourg Founded by the French in 1713, huge site a National Historic site.  located in Louisburg Nova Scotia.
I still haven't figured out how to label the pictures.  We landed at Porters Lake Provincial park this p.m. Near Halifax.
By the way I have Scotish Gaelic blood in my veins.
