We arrived in Campbellton, N.B. Canada yesterday and staying in a large gravel parking area owned by the city.This is by the wharf and overlooks the Charleur Bay.There are lots of rvs here as there’s going to a Bluegrass Festival this weekend.Parking here is free and they have a dump and fresh water.What more could you ask for. 

Enjoying the view

  We enjoyed this setting so decided to stay another night.Here’s the bridge that connects New Brunswick to Quebec.

The lighthouse and replica of the Campbellton Railroad.

Wednesday we drove up aways on the Gaspe Pennisula,we will go around this pennisula tomorrow.We stopped and viewed this Catholic church.

We also stopped at a lighthouse called Tragadish Light. This was on a small pennisula and there was a beautiful campground right on the water.The whole area is beautiful.

It will be hard to move on tomorrow but there’s more to see.

July 31,2010 Happy Anniversary

Today is our 45th wedding anniversary and we are going to spend it in Acadia and Bar Harbor.We stopped off at the visitors center and got all those brocheurs to see what we would be seeing and doing.Our first stop was Cadillac Mt. At the top of the mountain you are at 1530 feet,it is the highest peak and mountain on the Atlantic coast north of Brazil. Views from the top are spread out over the bays ,the park and beyond. It is one of the only places to see the first sunrise in the U.S. Too early for me.

This is Thunder Hole and when it is high tide the water comes splashing up 40ft and makes a thunderous roar. It was low tide when we were there but a beautiful spot with the rocks and coastline.

We continued on to Jordon Pond for their famous popovers. They are sooooo good. They are opened up and ice cream inside with chocolate drizzed all over them. Don't they sound wonderful.Don't drool.

You can sit out on the lawn and enjoy the beauty of Jordon Pond.
We continued on to Bar Harbor and walked around town and down to the water. We had a great day and will remember our day at Acadia.

July 30,2010 Acadia National Park

After leaving Portsmouth,N.H. we arrived in Ellsworth ,Me. at Patten Pond campground.This is a Encore Park and has a nice lake. We could see the pond from our RV.

Today we drove to the southeast of Acadia Ntl. Park which is the quiet side. Here's a photo of Somesville foot bridge. Lots of photos are taken at this spot.

On our way to Tremont there is a building with all the colorful buoys used in lobster fishing.Its in a small bay and has a restaurant.
Next we went to Bass Harbor Lighthouse. We were here in 05 and got to see the other side of the lighthouse but now it's blocked off.
To be continued tomorrow.

July 26,2010 50th Class Reunion

Well here I am after 50years since graduating from high school. This is a milestone,I'm still kicking with a few ailments.This was the best reunion I ever went to, 3 days of socializing and partying.We had a class of about 290 and there were 125 classmates at the reunion. 58 had passed away and17 unable to locate and others just didn't come. What a blast. We stayed in our motorhome in front of my girlfriends house.Some photos of our reunion.

On sunday after our brunch Cis took us up along the coast to Nubble Lighthouse and to Kennebunkport. It was a beautiful day with perfect weather. The beaches were packed with people enjoying the day.

We continued our drive and went past George H.W.Bush residence.They don't want you to stop on the road but that's what you get for being famous.
We had a great time visiting with friends and seeing places I use to frequent during high school. Tomorrow we're off to Acadia National Park.

July 12,2010 New Holland

We arrived at Spring Gulch Campground in New Holland,Pa.on the 9th.Oh what did I say about level campsites.I should of kept my mouth shut.They put us in a site for a 35ft rv but that wasn't too bad as we were able to fit,but all hell broke loose when we wern't able to level. This site was worse than last nights and I thought that was bad. We had cement blocks and stacks of wood so high I thought we would reach the sky.There was no way we were going to get anywhere level and after 2 hrs. trying Sam gave up. It was so hot and he was mad as hell.I went to the office and they gave us a beautiful site up the hills and in the trees with full hookups and cable. These sites we were in are for people who put in park models and lease their sites.Although they also have sites for the public. We loved this new site and were very happy. Nice and level. After we got set up went to the Sugar Maple Smorgasboard for dinner. This place is huge and and they must of had 400 or 500 hundred in the place.This is Amish country and hope to see lots of them and there buggys tomorrow.
