Week #1 - Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Southwest portion of Newfoundland

Week #1 includes:  Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, The Ferry, and Southwest Newfoundland

We spent time with friends in Maine, and then decided to avoid weekend coastal Rt 1 traffic and went inland to reach the Canadian border.

We soon learned that Verizon "unlimited" plans don't work so well in Canada, or rather, their small 1/2 GB limits on unmetered throughput make the internet largely unusable.  Hence the retreat to Flickr when WiFi can be found.

Weather limited our Bay of Fundy drive in New Brunswick.  We had a couple of scenic stops in Nova Scotia, including a nice boondocking site in Louisbourg, and took in some local entertainment.

Then after a 6-hour ferry ride (we recommend also getting a berth for the shower, if nothing else), we reached our destination, and spent a few days exploring the Southwest portion.

We found a lovely and picturesque boondocking spot on Searston Beach.  Visited Cape Ray, and walked a wonderful network of boardwalk trails along Grand Bay West.  Then we backtracked to the lighthouse at Rose Blanche, and found an impromptu boondocking spot at the beautiful Barachois Falls waterfall trail.
