The Northeastland Hotel Presque Isle

Unsere heutige Weiterfahrt ging Richtung Edmundston. Unterwegs konnten wir einen wunderbaren Herbsttag geniessen. Die Sonne scheint und die Blätter fallen immer weiter.<br><br>Unterwegs haben wir in Hartland die längste überdachte Holzbrücke der Welt (390,75 Meter) angeschaut. <br><br>Einen weiteren Stopp legten wir in Grand ...

Heute Morgen sind wir wieder zu den Hopewell Rocks gefahren, um die Gesteinsformationen bei Flut anzuschauen. Das war wirklich recht eindrücklich!<br><br>Bei den Felsen haben wir einem Amerikanischen Ehepaar aus Kalifornien unsere Gezeitentabelle überlassen und sonst noch ein paar Tipps gegeben. Die haben sich so darüber gefreut, und machten gleich ein Foto von uns beiden ...

... You'd think we were in a foreign country.... We got our first good animal scare today too. A young deer was standing at the edge of the road as we were passing a semi-tractor. We were on the brakes hard as was the truck driver and the deer decided going back into the ditch was a better decision and we agreed!<br><br>As we neared the border, we rode on one of the few two lane roads of the trip. There was a lot of construction but traffic ...

... about an hour from Bangor, where our Aunt Vivienne (my moms sis) is staying, but due to weather and my rear tire issues we were forced to cancel on her. Sorry tia Viv !!! We ended our day in Houlton, Maine, which is where I-95 commences. We are about two hours from Bangor here. I have a 9am appointment with the Kawasaki dealer in Bangor (http://www ...

... being gentle woven through rolling forests and hills, green and soft as moss. The highway cutting through the forests was bizarrely unnatural however they seemed to have taken great pains to be the least intrusive as possible. The highway turned and followed the hills, rolling up and down and around and a few times I wondered if my van would even make it up the steep slopes. Imagine if I had been dragging a trailer! Finally arriving at the campsite was a bit ...

... at the campground. They hit it off - of course! ... I digress ... We went shopping at an IGA, where I made myself speak French to order deli meats =). One more stop at a Walmart, lunch and then on to our next destination, which I had chosen specifically because of its name: St-Louis-du-Ha!Ha! I kid you not. That is the name of the little town along route #20 south. Many of the Quebec villages have very long names, but I think ...

... Dorthy, Helen and myself crossed the border for about an hour to visit a friend of Dorthy's (Eileen). Because she had a new house she hadnt seen. We came back, waited for the boys to come back then after eating some more tea and crackers with cheese, amazing cookies and gingerbread we got back on the road and drove back to Freddytown. I was dropped off at campus around 4:00 PM.

... so we could have coffee and doughnuts! Neil is turning into quite the Homer Simpson!!!!!! Drove back along the same road....looking for campsites....of course there were none! Found one...seemed to be in the country..but after driving in a circle it was right by the main road....so we passed on that one....kept driving praying for a nice site...and then our prayers were answered! It was some environmental-eco ...

... Park Loop Road and made many stops along the way. I enjoyed Sand Beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Later I stopped at Little Hunters Beach, a beach with no sand, but tons of granite rocks. Cliffs and trees surrounded both beaches. I sat along some cliffs that plunged down into the Atlantic. I drove to the peak of Cadillac Mountain (1,530 feet) to ...
