2012 Journey to Northlands

A road adventure takes Some adjustment. Driving up the coast is the toughest part. Since we have been this route so many times before it is almost a chore, but Maine is always the best part. Our first stop was Old Orchard Beach just outside of Sego. The week of 4th of July is a favorite and crowded to say the least. Tied up for the night at KOA to get us all used to camping and enjoy some civilized wilderness. Nice stopover nice people, and we got to watch movie under the stars. Since we are on a mission to get across the border, not a lot of time to spend exploring the coast, which is so intriguing, something always makes me want to roam in and out of the coves. Will have to spend next life as a bird to explore those areas. Our travelers like to sleep in so getting early starts is difficult. The group is getting along well so the no blaming on that, even tho captain and I are still negotiating heading northwest or northeast into Canada. Looks like today's destination (journey) will be nova scotia, and some exploring for A while. Onward and northward,staying overnight just outside of Bangor. Nice evening dining on roast chicken and Thai noodles. Tried to stay awake for movie, but camping is tiresome living. Headed out Saturday am northward and got thru customs like a breeze. First stop was over the border was to pick up tourist information and staying the evening in StAndrews NB . Walking around town after pizza, down to the town wharf, the tide was on its way out, and 30 feet down. The shore line was hundreds of feet from the high shoreline.
