Well, Here we are then. Our second day of being bloggers. The plan is to just hang around the campground and maybe check out the little golf course down the street.

Gail's turn to try the blogging and put something from the past couple of weeks on.

We've been traveling through the east coast of the country and spent a few weeks in Washington D.C, then on to Mass and Maine. Our map on the trailer of the states we've been to is just about full, all except Vermont. We will get that after we return from Canada. Now we are out in what's called Atlantic Canada, consisting of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland/Labrador. We will go to each one. It's easy to hit the first three but to Newfie, as the Canadian say, is an involved and expensive ferry ride. The short ride is 4-6 hours and the longer ride, 14-16 hours. We plan on the short ride, but without the trailer. We will spend less than a week there and stay in B&Bs.

A few highlights of Canada. In New Brunswick, we camped along the Bay of Fundy. It's a large bay and has the greatest tide changes on the planet. Low tides can range from 30-40 feet. And when it comes in, you can see it moving. It was fascinating to watch the coast. At low tide you could walk into caves and around rocks on the ocean floor. At high tide you could kayak around and in them. A week later we were on the Nova Scotia side of the Fundy Bay. The tide effects are still noticeable and even include rivers that drain to the bay. We took a raft trip on the largest one, in zodiacs, but I wouldn't call it white water. It was a river of chocolate milk. We waited till the tidal bore came across a sandbar, then went to meet the outgoing river and the incoming tide. Waves are created and the size and spot are constantly changing. It was great fun as the guide goosed the boat into the troughs repeatedly, drove through waves, swamped the boat, washed us into the boat and out of the boat. This went on for 3 hours as we chased the changing waves and tidal current.

Well, I guess that's enough for one day of catching up.
