Was a beautiful morning in Mactaquac Provincial Park (I almost wrote state park, been a bunch of years since we stayed at a state park, hopefully we shall again). Morning was brisk and dewy. I headed off to the Eagle Trail but was thwarted by the condition of the trail. It appeared to be unmaintained…
Hello World! Good night’s sleep in the somewhat dreary little campground. More on that later. I walked down Cape Rd to the Parkway and shore. I did not have easy access to the actual shore but I did see the water. We got ready fairly quickly and headed up to Cape Tryon Lighthouse. The last…
Our day started off with a crisp ocean breeze. Got up and went out for a walk down to the wharf (again). Post feeding we started to close up the fort and get the van ready for travel. Fresh water full. Black and grey tanks drained without incident. Double, triple check and away we go….
Hello rain. Not necessarily nice to see you again, but at least you mostly fell overnight and into the morning. With a strong desire to avoid wet clothes, I deferred my morning walk until the rain subsided. To good news is that rain end coincided with approaching low tide. Before the walk, breakfast dessert was…
By now you know the drill. Get up, walk, eat. This morning was far less windy than yesterday but a wee bit colder on the dry bulb. I walked further up the road past the bridge over the Shinimicas river. Only significant wildlife adjacent thing I saw was this poor moose who had obviously had…
A lovely chilly, but not too chilly start to the day. We woke up at a reasonable hour and I got up and did my morning walk down to the wharf. No fishing happening there anymore, but it’s a nice spot to go. Today was to be about property maintenance. I started by cutting the…
It rained. It rained a lot. Forecast said it was going to rain until about noon. We got up, I delayed my walk until better weather and we headed into town to provision. Yesterday, just as I was completing my walk, a young mother approached pushing a double side by side stroller. One of those…
Good morning says Amy! Time to get up and get moving. Mission: complete the #10 trail hike. But first a stop at the comfort station due to the aforementioned holding tank status being opposite the desired states. In my shower review of this park I failed to mention that there is an office for park…
Not too long ago offspring #2 and I were at Costco. Our list included the big old bucket of M&M peanuts as there really is no better van life snack. Except for the part that it is amazingly easy to eat through 1.3 kg of M&Ms quickly whilst only grabbing 3 at a time. I…
Howdy good people. So far we are 2/2 in free parking lot camping. Last night was lovely and quiet despite there being about 20 camping units parked with us. We were fairly well spread out so that probably helped. The wind died down eventually. The furnace kept us at a solid 14C (our set point)…
