Bob coming through the bridge

Quechee Gorge

Atop Mt Washington

more Mt Washington

Tuesday we started across Maine back roads, coming through New Hamshire. We went to Mt. Washington. Bob, Johnny & Linda made it to the top. I turned around when the blacktop ended. Steep grade and gravel on a mountain didn't mix in my mind...LOL...anyway they said it was beautiful! Weather was great and we ended up staying in White River Junction, NH. Johnny and Linda left early this morning for Buffalo, to visit with a cousin and go to Niagra Falls. Bob and I went through some back roads in Vermont, saw Quechee Gorge, covered bridges, rode the Ferry across Lake Champlain, and tonight we are in Lake Placid, NY. It has been a great day, but we miss our friends...

Hartland Bridge











We are finally back in the USA!! I am very glad...the weather today was cool and cloudy until we crossed the border. (go figure) This morning we stopped by Hartland, New Brunswick. They have the worlds longest covered bridge. I am uploading a couple of photos. We rolled over 3000 miles today. I am not sure where we are heading tomorrow, but the sun should be shining!

Prince Edward Island







Today is cool and cloudy, highs in the 60's. It was around noon before the roads dried off, so we drove over to PEI. The bridge onto the island is 9 miles/14km long. It was 100 miles each way to get there. Went to the Harley dealer and caught up with some friends we met on the Cabot Trail a couple of days ago. That was really cool. I hope we make it back to the US tomorrow night. It is beautiful here and we are having a great time, but I miss home...Not many pics today, too nasty out. We were in a hurry to get back to our nice cozy room!! Yall have a great Monday!!

Sat. Aug 29
















Today we rode around 250 miles, (the last 125 in the rain) so we got a room in Moncton, New Brunswick. We are waiting for Danny to get past us, should be past by noon tomorrow. In the meantime, we have a great hotel, are catching up on laundry & the Blog (LOL) There is a great restaurant down stairs and movies in our room. What a great Sat afternoon... I am uploading more photos from yesterday. It was an awesome day!!

Cape Breton & the Cabot Trail

Moose
The whole gang, eh!

Beautiful day!


It was a great day...




The weather was cool and windy, but no rain. It was around 50 degrees when we left the hotel at 7, but warmed up to around 65. It was good to have warm clothes!

Thursday Aug 27

Tonight we are in Truro, NS. We saw the low tide in the Minos Basin this morning. That was amazing!! We rode across the Province to Halifax to go to the Harley dealer...big let down...but the weather is still beautiful! We understand there is another "storm" on its way. Figures, but so far, so good... I will try to write and send photos tomorrow. The Internet is not as easy to get to as I had hoped.

Digby, NS


These were taken looking out the window of our room in a B&B. First time I ever stayed at one of these. It was really nice. We had another perfect day for ridin and sight seein.

Cat Ferry
















The fog never lifted, the water was rough, and one of us got seasick!! Bob comforted me the best he could!!! LOL

Acadia Photos
















These are from Tuesday. The weather was perfect! I will have more when I get home.

Bar Harbor & Acadia

We got here yesterday, but the office closed before I could post. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are beautiful. The weather has been perfect!! We have eaten Lobstah twice already. Now we are going to look at the Light House and find some dinner. Then we have to pack for an early morning on the CAT. I will post photos when I can.

Aug 23

Not much to talk about. Another long day, another 500 miles. We are staying at Sturbridge, Mass. Great weather, great company, beautiful scenery, alot more traffic today. It should be an easy day tomorrow to make it all the way to Bar Harbor, unless we have crappy weather or traffic conditions. It don't really matter, we are on vacation!!!

Finally...Aug 22 arrived










Saturday we made it a few miles past Cumberland, MD. There were not many places to stay, so this is what we ended up with. We also didn't have Internet access...but we had everything else you could think of.

We did have great weather, and beautiful scenery! 550 miles total
