Our morning walk brought us out onto an incredible sandy beach. It was low tide and the waves (only 10 inches high) were dancing along the shore reminding us of the Belagio water fountains in Vegas. Now we knew why this campground was so popular - the beach was gorgeous.
We packed up the camper, mom prepared her suitcase and we headed back to the USA. As we drove south towards the St Stephen and the border, the environment became more urban and quite heavily populated. It looks like there would be quite a lot to do and explore in the area.
As we drove over the Calais river bridge at the border crossing a bald eagle soared over us while flying along the river course. It was a beautiful sight. This trip has given us many sighting of these wonderful birds and it felt good to be "saluted" by one just as we left.
Goodbye Canada. One day we will return to these Atlantic provinces.
We headed down to Boston, had our last seafood dinner along the way and dropped mom at a Marriott near the airport. She would fly out the next morning.
We navigated the underground roads out of Boston - not knowing if it was legal for us to be driving through with a camper en tow. Rich was in the mood to continue driving so we headed out on I90. Toll roads ensured that the return trip was a lot less harrowing with fewer potholes. Our first night was at a small, noisy truck stop alongside the Erie canal near Utica, NY. Our next day of driving was cut short by a late afternoon downpour. We pulled over east of Chicago at a large, quiet parking area to wait out the storm. After a good sleep and dinner in the camper, we got back on the road at 2am. We drove through to Nebraska by lunch time and checked into a state park on the Platte River. After two nights on the road this was heaven. After a restful night we got on the road early and were home by lunchtime. We almost finished our second audio book - A dog's purpose. We were both crying as we drove past Denver towards Golden - It was an emotional part in the book. Rich really should be a trucker - he loves to drive - especially our comfortable, large RAM truck.
Another epic trip completed. Sorry that the boys were not with us. Super that mom did get to come with us. The Bay of Fundy and all that is associated with it is something one should try to experience. Nova Scotia is beautiful and worth returning to. Overall a great big WOW. Thanks Rich and Mom for a wonderful trip and great memories. You were great travelling companions. I am lucky to be loved and accepted by such great people.
