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 …

It was a quick, easy journey …

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 passed, again, all the great signs that Nova Scotia has which are all different and unique. We drove through Pictou and past the ferry to PEI and on to Caribou Munroes Provincial Park. …

The drive from Terra Nova National Park to Butter Pot Provincial Park is only a few hours so we had a chance to stop by Canadian Tire and pick up some oil and an oil filter for our Sprinter oil change. Along the way is some great town names such as Come By Chance along with a few nice lakes. …

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 …
