... 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.

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!

Weiter ging es Richtung Fredericton, der Hauptstadt von New Brunswick. Das war wirklich hübsch, der kurze Rundgang hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt.

... route took longer. The fall colors are at their peak and we were constantly wowed by the colourful vistas that spread out before us. What a wonderful province to be spending my favourite season in. Enroute, we stopped at a farmer’s road side stall and bought fresh picked apples. He had several oversized pumpkins on display (photo attached). He told us that one weighed in at over 700 lbs!!!
Arriving in Fredericton, we quickly ...

... that they declined the obligatory cavity search (eeeewww). After this little experience, we got to the Four Corner's Park after a quick fill-up on gas and it is wonderful. We spent quite a bit of time there and shot a lot of pictures. The folks of Madawaska are VERY FRIENDLY and love bikers.

We got to the Post Office to send our documents in and met Glenn Bailey there. He is a retired postal worker and offered to shoot our picture. It ...

... in PEI. Pull the tire off and check for nails. There's no nail. The sidewall belt on the tire is protruding. I need a new tire. A have a slight problem. I have high performance tires that are not that easy to find at any tire dealer. I get Alexis to do an internet search and see if there are any dealers in PEI. Luckily there are. But will they be able to get me the tire while I'm there? Paul's tire saga...to be continued...

... it comes ................ WE DID IT !!!!! We completed the Four Corners Tour !!!!! We arrived in Madawaska, Maine (http://www.townofmadawaska.com/), at 5:45pm. We rode 326 miles from Montreal to get there. We again did our obligatory photo shoots (CITGO gas station, a local motel, local USPS, and the Four Corners Memorial Park) and mailed our entry forms ...

After returning home fairly late from the night before, I made a tenative start to the morning. The plan was to make it back to Lac Superieur in the shortest possible time and on a relatively tight budget. From there I would look for work, find a place to live, trade my van for a smaller vehicle all while learning the french language. It was a lot to do and plenty more ...

So the day of craziness was upon us! We had no idea where we going or why....but it just felt like a good idea! We had decided to drive to New Brunswick...cause it was another province to tick off and because we wanted to know if it was french or not!! (or we just wanted somewhere that spoke english!!) Stopped for breakfast at the services....had little choice...couldn't even make a coffe without any gas for our ...

... 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. On June 17th I work up at 3:30AM (****!) and drove to the peak of Cadillac Mountain to be among the first to see the sun rise in the Continental United States at 4:43AM. At 10AM I took a 45 ...
