PICTOU & EAGLES.

Day 23 – It was 41 degrees this morning, sunny and a bit windy. I forgot to mention yesterday that we were able to refill our propane tanks right here at the Park – very convenient. We also went to the office to pay for our stay along with the propane charges. We’re scheduled to be here a week total. The owner only charged us for 4 nights! He said the other 3 nights were no charge; he likes to have people return (this is our third stay here) and he loves having people come in early in the season. Well, alright then!

A LITTLE SIGHTSEEING.

Day 22 – This morning when we got up there was very little wind and it was sunny, 38 degrees. A good day for a drive, YAAA! We were up and around, getting things done so we could leave, rather than sitting around and relaxing. We definitely got some accusing stares from the girls. We told them that we weren’t leaving in the RV, that they could stay home. They still looked anxious.

BRRR!

Day 20 – The low last night was 34 degrees with light rain and plenty of wind gusts. If there was snow last night, we didn’t see it and there wasn’t snow on the ground this morning. At 8 a.m. it was very windy with plenty of clouds and a little sun. We’ll probably stay in today. The girls are sleeping hard this morning.

Later – It was blustery and cold today with a high of only 44 degrees. We caught up on some stuff, read our books, and took naps with the cats. The tide came and went. So did 3 immature Bald Eagles plus one adult. Once we won’t freeze to death or blow away, we’ll get some outdoor pictures.

HERE COMES THE SUN.

TRAVEL DAY

From: Kiwanis Oceanfront Camping, St. Andrews, NB.

To: All Done Camping RV Park, Newtown, NB.

Day 16 – The sun was shining so brightly this morning, it got us up & out of bed early. Not a cloud in the sky! It was still quite windy in St. Andrews and fairly cold, 41 degrees, but the sunlight made all the difference. We leisurely packed up and got ready to hit the road.

A DREARY RAINY WINDY DAY.

Day 15 – Not much going on today, we’re just hunkered down in the wind and rain. This morning it was 40 degrees; the high today was 47 degrees. We did some paperwork, washed our hair, read our books, and did some prep for leaving tomorrow morning. We’ll be heading inland to a different campground where we’ll find farm lands & rolling hills, and just maybe sun and less wind. Originally we’d wanted to continue up the coast along the Bay of Fundy where the tides rise and fall even more, but those campgrounds weren’t open yet for the summer season.

ST. ANDREWS.

Day 14 – It was cold & blustery with the wind this morning, 42 degrees. It got light out an hour later this morning due to the time change making it noticeably different for us and the kitties. We’ll be thrown off balance again with the time change when we reach Newfoundland. This campground is large with 217 campsites. This time of year there’s only a few sites occupied. They fill up in the summer with the oceanfront campsites and their proximity to town, so for now it’s fairly quiet. There’s more Deer in the campground than people; they are often outside grazing.
