Jerry's east coast trip

Post by grandfatherjim » Mon Aug 17, 2009 10:22 am

2700 miles, Ottawa -> PEI via Quebec and New Brunswick, PEI-> Ottawa via NB, Maine, NH, Vermont, and NY.
Jerry pulled us through, but good thing I have a smattering of mechanical knowledge...

Here we are near Antigonish, NS:

while we were hanging out at buddy's shack:

then at Blooming Point Beach, on red red PEI:

WalMart to the rescue in Moncton NB:

Our friend showing us her land right on the edge of the Bay of Fundy - one more step and they'd be in the drink:

Jerry emerging from covered bridge (note extra bridge in background) In NB:

Camping at my cousin's cottage near Pictou NS:

At Peace Park in Ontario:

and how could we not take a picture of this:

And right after the trip, at our favourite music festival, Blue Skies:

A good three weeks. Although, three days into it I discovered I lost my job. On to the next adventure, whatever that may be!

Those pictures are beautiful. Loved the cover bridge and the house on the shore.

Sorry to hear about your job . . .

Great! I love seeing campers in other habitats.

Love the pictures. Sorry about your job. Hey, how do those mirrors work? Can you still buy them?

The mirrors are great, albeit there is wind noise from them. They are available online but I forget where I got them. They're called "West Coast Junior" mirrors. You do need to watch you don't bump your noggin on them as you're walking around the bus, but you get used to that.
