We drove from Quebec City to Kingston, Ontario taking the Highway 30 bypass around Montreal. Highway 30 goes over Grand Ile where you first cross a 2.5 km bridge over the Beauharnois Canal and then a 1.8 km bridge over the St. Lawrence River (toll) followed by a 100m tunnel under the Soulange Canal. It was a quick, easy journey …

We made it to Quebec! We drove from Edmunston, New Brunswick to Quebec City passing through beautiful countryside along the St. Lawrence River and even passed an Accordion Museum. I wasn’t allowed to stop…something about not wanting to hear someone try and learn the accordion all the way across the country. Just nonsense! We headed to the KOA Quebec …

Our plans had us going to the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec for 5 days and staying at Forillon National Park and driving almost 800 km. But time was getting short and we needed to be in Western Canada in less than a month and we still had lots of sightseeing, visiting, and moochdocking to get done. So, as usual, we …

It was $67 (CAD) for our 4 axles (Motorhome and tow vehicle). We drove on north along the coast of New Brunswick about 90 miles or …

We arrived into North Sydney, Nova Scotia from the overnight Newfoundland ferry and drove through Cape Breton to Caribou Munroes near Pictou, Nova Scotia.

We headed south from New World Island (near Twillingate) and on to Gander where we visited our nephew and loaded up on supplies (DEF for our diesel engine) at Canadian Tire. It was wonderful to see him and enjoy a fantastic meal at Rosie’s which included a Turkey Mess and Moose Farts! Yay! Gander is known as the crossroads …

Welcome to New Brunswick! Alas, we made it. We entered New Brunswick from near Calais, Maine and crossed the border in minutes. Suddenly, we went from terrible roads in Maine to a nice smooth 4 lane highway. It was heaven! We fueled up easily at one of the many petrol stations along the highway and we were off and running!! …

One of the reasons for staying at Cobscook Bay State Park was not only because it had great reviews but because it was on our way to the Maritimes and Newfoundland, it provided easy access to Lubec, Maine, the eastern most town in the USA, easy access to the the eastern most point at the West Quoddy Lighthouse, and also …
