Shiretown Motor Inn Houlton

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 ...

... 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>

... to verify the legend. Quite a story!<br> We visited an art gallery that is housed in a beautiful old home along the shoreline. We noted some work of Chrisine Koch, the artist that we had met at Woody Point in Newfoundland (seems like a long time ago now!). <br> Simple munchies in our room as a late supper and off to bed in our &#8216;attic suite&#8217;. Comfortable bed and a good sleep in the heart of downtown Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Tuesday, September 1st is almost over, as we sit in our cottage writing our last travel blog from St. Andrews, Canada. Tomorrow we will travel back to the US eventually ending our drive in Bar Harbor, Maine.<br><br> <br><br>Our day started out leisurely, not rushing and getting ready at our own pace. The only scheduled event was to take a whale boat tour at 2:00 p.m., so we weren ...

... a hot entrée we were served French toast with blueberries, ham, and melon.<br> We all climbed into the van for a short trip to St. Andrews (approximately 1 ¼ hour). We arrived and decided to check out the information center to get the needed information for our two day stay. We want to take a whale trip, so we gathered the information and headed to the dock to check them out. Nancy wants to take the most adventurous boat, which lacked sides to the ...

St. Andrews is a wonderful ride. Maine's rte 95 is not a backcountry road, but it has borders of trees and some pretty vistas. Then from Bangor to Calais you enjoy rte 9, the Airline. It's all up and down curves but much improved over the years with truck lanes so the campers and logging trucks are not the hazards they used to be.<br>The town has a resort history dating to the turn of the century and is ...

... 20-30 cms of snow on its way. So much for planning!! Back on line we scanned the weather reports once more and it looked like it was going to be worst in the afternoon, so we decided we would get an early start Monday and outrun the snow, not the first time we have run from bad weather. We had already been down to Bree a few days before and hooked up Toad and gone for a little run just to make sure all was well after his period in ...

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 ...

... junctions. Highway 95 intersects the Trans-Canada Highway here, Woodstock is the first town for visitors entering New Brunswick from the United States on I-95. It's a small world...we met two couples staying at Bennett House and they turned out to be from John's home town...and one of them worked for more than thirty years with someone John has known since childhood!!

... noise is gone. Day 4 we awoke to the view of Devils Tower directly behind "Miss Dazy". We had breakfast and then walked around the base of the tower. Very impressive. we saw deer, golden eagles and a family of Prarrie Falcon out on a flying lesson. Back on the road we headed for Deadwood SD where Wild Bill Hickock was shot. Wandered around town for an hours or so and headed east. Tonight we are in Mt Rushmore and will attend a laser light show. So far I am having ...
