Saturday, June 9 - PEI National Park and North Coast.

We're camped for the next couple daya in Prince Edward Island National Park in Cavendish on the Northern end of the island. We're very near the sea. Beautiful park with densely wooded pull-through site w/water, electric & sewer hookups, all for $22 Canadian per nite. Only downside is there's no satellite reception here.

Today we drove around the Eastern coastal area. Not all of it, because there's too much to drive in one day. We toured the Green Gables house, which is right next door to our park. Note that Anne of Green Gables was a work of fiction, so there is no real house. This was a place the author spent a lot of time in as a child and it inspired the books.



We stopped for a late lunch at a nice local restaurant where Barb got Lobster & Penne while I had fish & chips. Both were very ample and very good.

We stopped to see a couple lighthouses along the way.

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.
