Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
Ever since we visited Grand Teton and Yellowstone three years ago, we’ve wanted to come back, so here we are, sneaking in a 2-½ week trip in between my work and our next dive trip. Visiting Grand Teton in October is risky and not for the faint of heart – …
We’re back in the U.S., crossing the border in New York, then whipping through a small corner of Pennsylvania before landing in Northeast Ohio at Punderson State Park, a lovely little campground next to a lake, where we had fabulous neighbors (Cathy and Dave) and enjoyed fireflies and being in …
Our last week in Canada began by crossing to the north side of the St. Lawrence River and then crossing from Quebec into Ontario, our last Canadian province of this trip. We were a little sad to leave Quebec, having gotten used to hearing and seeing French everywhere. But we …
We’ve been gone 9 weeks and have traveled over 6000 miles in the RV. We just began Phase III of our trip (visiting Quebec and Ontario). And this phase has started off with a bang! We left New Brunswick and traveled around multiple little peninsulas and bays to get to …
When last we visited New Brunswick (three weeks ago), we concentrated on the coast of the Bay of Fundy (see “Fundy Fun Days” post). After visiting Prince Edward Island, we now had the chance to explore the northeastern coast of New Brunswick, which is heavily French-speaking/Acadian. Back in the 1600s, …
While Cape Bretoners might grumble about being part of Nova Scotia, the island above the mainland of Nova Scotia is technically a part of the province, having been annexed to Nova Scotia in 1820. And what a beautiful place Cape Breton is, especially now that spring has finally arrived in …
At the Canadian border a couple of weeks ago, they asked us if we had any weapons. We said no. We lied… But our weapons were for fighting the billions of little black flies and mosquitoes that we faced on this part of the trip. We came prepared. Why …
We’ve had 8 fun days around the 170-mile-long Bay of Fundy, staying in 4 different locations (see map below), so we could experience the variety of this place. While most people have heard of the Bay of Fundy because of its extreme tides, we really didn’t have a good visual …
Yes, we could have included Acadia in our last post on Northern New England, but it deserves a post all to itself. While we had another rainy day driving across the state of Maine, the sun came out in the early evening, and we explored the “quietside of Acadia” in …
What a lovely drive we had through southern Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, making our way to Scusset Beach State Reservation (state park) on Cape Cod Bay. This was one of the easiest state parks we’ve tried to get into—no windy roads or flooded streets. Located just a little way …
