Where We’ve Been
We left Panguitch and headed south on Highway 89 passing spectacular scenery on our way to Kanab. There are places that are reminiscent of Bryce Canyon, probably because it is in the same area. It wasn’t long before we were in Kanab known at the Greatest Earth on Show! Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument sits in southern Utah and …

We drove north from Lake Superior Provincial Park on the Trans Canada Highway and stopped in the lovely town of WaWa, Ontario. WaWa takes it name from an indigenous word for goose and has a 28 ft metal goose sculpture in town. Fun! Which brings us to our next scene which was Young’s General Store. Since our last name …

We drove from Chutes Provincial Park to Lake Superior Provincial Park along the Trans Canada Highway. The highway follows the shoreline of Lake Superior but there are very few places where you can actually view Lake Superior from the road. The city of Sault Ste Marie, Ontario sits on the border with Michigan in the US and is known …

We headed north from Killbear Provincial Park in Parry Sound on the Trans Canada Highway to Sudbury, known for it’s giant 1951 replica 30′ nickel, and on west to Chutes Provincial Park. It was a lovely drive and no, we didn’t see the nickel. Apparently, the parking lot there (Dynamic Earth Museum) does not accommodate RV’s with any pull thrus …

We drove to our family’s house in Frankford driving through Prince Edward County area. It is a beautiful area. It is gorgeous countryside yet not that far from the big city of Toronto. It is hard to believe! Yay, we made it to their house, backed in, hooked up to electric and were treated like royalty. We had a …

Yep, we did it! We parked in a Walmart parking lot overnight. Not that there’s anything wrong it but it is just something we never do. But this time we needed to be in the area to visit friends and there just wasn’t any place else to stay. It worked out fine. We asked the manager if we could …

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 …

We departed PEI and drove over the Confederation Bridge to New Brunswick. Before driving over the bride we stopped to pay the toll which is only paid when you exit off the island. 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 …
