Beautiful morning here on the coast. I set out to walk around the nearby neighbourhood. It’s about 1 km loop. I decided to brave the road after ascertaining the width and quality of the shoulders. Well, they were wide enough to fit my shoulders and quality was suitably substandard enough that they would strongly discourage…

Morning walk was a repeat of yesterday’s route. It was just a few degrees cooler. Pace was better. I did manage to see 4 deer on the walk. None in the kilometre long woodland trail. All in the neighbourhood. Only one deer picture for you today. We got ready and hit the road before 11:00….

Things you just can’t believe. It rained a bit last night. Seriously! Listening to the rain fall on the roof of the van is much like the patter of rain on a cottage tin roof. Peaceful for a bit, and then you just want to get to sleep! By the time I got out for…

Morning walk took me along a different sequence of the campground roads. I was trying to minimize some of the downhill as my big knee has been bit sore (big knee as MRI says I have arthritis, 2 tears in the medial meniscus and one in the lateral meniscus and sometimes it hurts). Anyway, I…

Howdy, lovely sleep last night. It wasn’t too chilly. We failed to hear any wildlife up here on the mountain top. Morning walk was laps around the hilly roads of the campground. We followed that with a slow preparation to head to Hampton beach for the day. Hampton beach is on the other side of…

Good morning my lovelies. Riddle me this: How is it that one person, with an RV trailer containing 2 outside hatches, can slam those hatches 319 times in 30 minutes while packing up their RV at 07:00? The good news was I could just reach out my window and high five him. The Digby Campground…

There are some paths near our hosts so I hit those for my morning walk. Was nice not be on roads. No pictures, cause, well, I forgot. We packed up and got ready, went inside the big house to say goodbye and to leave a few tomatoes that Mrs Milddogs brought from her garden. Later,…

Sorry about the delay getting this most compelling post up. The downside to deferring is I must rely on my memory even more. That’s a recipe for poetic licence! Sleeping in a parking lot in Levis was quite peaceful. As the morning broke, I remained completely silent until 08:00 and then headed out for my…

Or, we’re gone? It has been a year since our last significant van trip. This summer we did some short excursions using the van as a base for some fun bicycle (Brompton, of course) rides along the St Lawrence river. But alas, time to get moving on our annual fall trip. This one is slightly…
