Sunday, June 10 - More Coastal Drive

Today we drove the Western coastal loop.


Our route today is the left part of the island. It's about a 150 mile loop

These are everywhere up here

PEI gets almost 90% of ots power from wind

You can't appreciate the immensity until you get up close like this.

Houses right on the sea coast are very common

This is an example of what I call "Lancaster County by the sea". The farms go right to the sea edge.

Wind power information canter and restaurant. We ate here.

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.

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.

Monday, June 11 - Leaving PEI

We had a decision to make; whether to do another epic day of driving to see the East side of the island or pull up stakes and start heading home. We decided to do the latter, giving ourselves 7 days to leisurely make our way through the 1500 miles of adventures waiting to be found on the way back. We're returning via the Confederation Bridge to New Brunswick, the worlds longest bridge over waters that freeze, Pictures coming......
