Friday, June 8 - Ferry Ride to Prince Edward Island (PEI)

Today we got another ferry ride, this one about 1.5 hours from Caribou, NS to Woods Island, PEI. The drill was pretty much the same as the last ride.


The Caribou, NS ferry terminal

This is a ferry, but not ours. Ours will be in port in several minutes

Queued up for loading

Our ship with cargo hold open. There are 3 levels of parking inside.

Loading begins...

We're about 6" from the truck infront of us and only a few inches clearance for side mirrors.


We drove about 40 minutes from the PEI ferry terminal to a WalMart in Charlottetown, PEI. We'll overnight here, then up to the PEI National Park on the North coast. At least that's the present plan; anything could change at any time.

Departure Day: Sunday, May 27

It was a rainy, dreary Sunday morning when we left at about 10am. The ride to our first stop in Guilford, CT took a little over 4 hours, much of it in rain and gloomy skies. We reached our destination, Bishop's Orchards , at about 2:15pm. This place is a member of the HarvestHosts organization, a group of several hundred wineries, orchards, farms, etc who let let subscribers like me stay on their properties in their RV overnight. This particular place is very nice, consisting of a large supermarket that sells just about anything you'd find in any supermarket, but much of it with local origins. When we got here, the manager told us that we could stay as long as we like so long as we advise each day when we're going to extend. We made a decision to spend 2 nights here, one before our trip to Mystic and one after. Weather here is cold and damp with temperatures in the low 60's. It will probably get down into the 50's overnight.

Thursday, June 14 - Sprint to Central Massachusetts

Today we got an early start and drove all the way to central Massachusetts. We stopped at Freeport, ME for about 2 hours to go to the LL Bean outlet store, then back on the road. We arrived at our campground about 5:00pm. We have electricity, water and sewer here, so were able to replenish our expendables, do laundry, get showers and dump tanks. Today we're planning to drive to someplace TBD north of Scranton where we'll spend the night, returning home on Saturday.
