... ein. Dort gab es einen 23m hohen Wasserfall inmitten der Stadt zu besichtigen. Während der Schneeschmelze führt dieser Wasserfall 90% der Menge von den Niagara Fällen mit sich.<br><br>Eigentlich wollten wir heute Abend natürlich wieder auf dem Campingplatz übernachten. Der einzig offene auf dieser Strecke hatte jedoch die ...

... wir nach der Besichtigung wieder beim Camper ankamen, steckte auch schon die Visitenkarte von den beiden an der Fensterscheibe mit dem Vermerk 'wenn ihr mal in Kalifornien seit, dann ruft uns an'. Machen wir doch gerne!<br><br>Weiter ging es Richtung Fredericton, der Hauptstadt von New Brunswick. Das war wirklich hübsch, der kurze Rundgang hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt.<br>

... well and was very light. There is not much out there and therefore little traffic. It is pretty country looking much like the upper Midwest. There are a lot of farms, rolling hills and water abounds.<br><br>We rode across the US border at Madawaska Maine at about 11:00am today and got to our checkpoint a few minutes later.

... net/) tomorrow so we will be up at 6am and on the road by 9am. While I am having my bike serviced Rusty is going to ride about an hour further south and have his bike serviced at the nearest BMW shop (http://bmw.streetcycles.com/home_bmw.a sp). We will then meet somewhere after both bikes have been serviced and make our way to Southwick ...

... a Deliverance nightmare at first but the quietly babbling brook (which actually does sound like a babble, or maybe more like bubbling?) a few feet from out tent was very soothing. I had a brief moment of panic when I thought, oh yes that's exactly what they want, to lull you into a false sense of security with the tranquility of the surroundings...but it passed. I discovered that charcoal BBQs are difficult to light with old briquettes and that you can't actually ...

I decided though, that Wills and I would do our Quebec run there, just so that we could say we had been there and wouldn't forget the name.

We started in the parking lot of the local ornate church and made the decision (executive, by Sandra. Wills ...

On the rememberance day afternoon, (last sunday) around 2:30 PM, I went on a small roadtrip with the Dixons to the town Ray was born in, Grand Falls. About a 2 hour drive, pretty scenic, way more kick ass than the mountains. I listen to country music the whole way there (and back). A lot of Jason Aldean's song "Johnny Cash". We made our first stop at a Tim Hortins on the way ...

... but looked really nice...the guy didn't speak a word of english...but a kind person staying there helped out! The site was amazing....right on the river and a nature reserve thing...birds and reeds and an amazing sunset! Had a campfire and cooked good food...oh yeah and cracked open the beer....just like a real camping experience should be!! Made me happy anyway! (and made the pointless but fun day worthwhile!)

... impressive views of Bar Harbor,numerous islands and the ocean. Later I explored the surrounding towns and harbors. I froze in a tent in the upper 30's.
