Washington State, Everett, Boston, Halifax, August 20th Travel Day
We always enjoy our time with our family and friends! Now it’s time to get back to our small self sufficient home and enjoy more experiences. We arrived late to Halifax, we stayed in a hotel at the airport the night we arrived. The next morning we called the Ford dealership where our truck has […]
Fly to San Diego, CA from Halifax – July 30th
We left PEI later in the day, July 29th, drove to a campsite that got us within an hour of Halifax. On the 30th it was time to do our routine of getting all perishables reduced to nothing, dirty laundry clean and close up the trailer for three weeks, we are off to see family […]
PEI, July 26th-29th Bike Ride and B&B/Hotels along the way (Mill River Resort, Prince County B&B & Shaw’s Hotel).
This place is about potatoes. 25% of Canada’s potato production comes from Prince Edward Island, and 60% of those spuds are headed to accompany your next burger, or get Frito-laid. As at least 86% of Canada’s potato export market is the US, there is an excellent chance we saw the very place where your next […]
Murray Beach Provincial Park – July 23rd to 25th
On to the next location, getting set up in an area to be able to get to PEI. We went to Hopewell, Moncton and enjoyed a day swimming, walking and the sunsets on Murray Beach. The water was pretty warm, you could walk right in without saying “man this is cold”
Hopewell Rocks – July 24th
Hopewell Rocks area is suppose to have the highest tides in the world, on this day it was “only” a 42′ change. We enjoyed the Provincial Park, along with everyone else, it was pretty busy until we found a trail where you had to boulder climb just a bit and voila everyone is gone! The […]
Riding Fundy Trail – July 22nd – see video below
Our bikes have twenty speeds, ten sprockets in the back and two up front. Then the assist from the battery has four levels. So theoretically, we have eighty-speed bikes. With two shifters and the battery controller, we just tune in the right pedal resistance for the slope. Sounds all rational and engineer-y, right? But there […]
Saint John to Saint Martin’s, New Brunswick – On the Move 1 hour and 15 Minute Drive
Moving North East, looking forward to this next campground, Century Farm Family Campground with full services and hopefully a water view. A stop to Costco on the way, then Fred said “O” look a Starbucks, where we have been enjoying coffee and internet for the past couple of hours. WHY, because a big storm of […]
Ebb and Flow in St John, New Brunswick – July 20th
For us, the day was an ebb. Occasionally we need those, and savor them like a warm blanket cold porch. Yet for the Bay of Fundy, it was another day of ebb and flow. The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world. Our wandering route crossed into New Brunswick (Oh, Canada!) so […]
Long Bike Ride With a Great Finish- From Sunset Point Campground to Machias & RT- July 19th
Since we’re planning a four day bike ride on Prince Edward Island next week. We figured we better get our butts in shape. So we set off on one of Maine’s rail-to-trail projects, the Down East Sunrise trail. Although it runs 88 miles from Ellsworth to the Canadian border, we only rode a short 18 […]
