Atlantic Provinces

 

 

After Quebec we turned southeast and into New Brunswick. We picked a place about 200 miles down the Trans Canada Highway or #2. After a few miles of moose warnings on the freeway (I think the translation is, "If you whack one of these, stay calm?") we decided to do the route less traveled.

 

We split off onto the two lane which most of the time is our preferred route ... well. Highway 105 which parallels #2 was a bit small ... wow. When there is no center line you know you are in trouble. We went about 20 miles on the east side of the Saint John River ... really beautiful but pounded us to pieces.

We've now started to count the screws that are falling out of the bus, but the only real loss on this adventure was a hubcap. We landed for lunch, thankfully, in the little town of Perth-Andover which was very picture perfect ... still 68 degrees and low humidity.

In little towns like this patience is the word as commerce tries to move on ... in this example the truck taking 10 minutes to make this very tight turn off the bridge and toward us ... about one foot from the building on the left. We had to make the same turn over the bridge and went far into the left lane to make the turn.

Then coming to rest for the evening in Fredericton, NB, at a place called Hartt Island RV Resort right on the Saint John River. Nice park with many level gravel pull-thrus and all the amenities.

In the evening, walking along the river, it was pretty awesome with the calm river and beautiful night sky.

The next stop will be Prince Edward Island.
