Our first stop was at Pumpkin Patch RV Resort in Maine. Very nice place and we received a 15% discount for being Escapees members. We took Maine 9 over to the Calais and then thru the new border crossing. It is very nice both ways. During the trip to our next destination we stopped at a rest area/welcome center where we met Vermonters from Bakersfield. We had a little chat and found that they were going to PEI. Our destination for that leg was Campers City in Moncton NB. This is a Good Sam park so we received a 10% discount there.
For dinner we went to Captain Dan's in Shediac NB. They had an all you can eat fish basket special the night we visited so I pigged out. We hung around the Warf after dinner and watched the boats and had ice cream. Oh Captain Dan is not a promoted Lt. Dan from Forest Gump.
The next day it was on to NS. Just over the border we made a stop at the rest area, welcome center/gift shop. We picked up a few things and as we were leaving the store we ran into the Vermonters from Bakersfield. Then it was off to Wayside campground another Passport America park on Peggy's Cove Road. Of course we went to Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg. After a couple days we headed for the Bay side of NS. Our stop there was Dunromin campground in Granville Ferry. We visited Annapolis Royal, Fort Anne, the light house and generally soaked in the area. Of special interest to me was the Annapolis Royal Generating Station which uses the tidal change to generate power.
Our next stop was Windsor NS where we attended the Atlantic Provenances Good Sam Samboree. We had a great time there and visited the Hockey Heritage Museum since Windsor is the birthplace of hockey.
On to Hopewell Rocks which are just fascinating. Watch the tide change what more can I say?
Our next stop was Campobello Island where FDR had his summer cottage. We stayed 2 nights at the provincial park which was very nice and not very busy. We found free wifi at the store near the campground.
Then home with a stop at Bethel Maine Outdoor Adventure another Passport America park and another discount.
