Travel day to St. John’s, setup at the campsite, and laundry.

A long day of traveling, visiting the Sea Arch, Devil’s Footprints, the Painted Rocks and Bonavista.

Coffee at the Treasure Box. Missed the tour of the Fjords, heading to St. John’s or Bonavista depending on weather.

Drive to Gros Morne and moose siting. Later a visit to The Merchant Warehouse in Bonne Bay.

Visit to the waterfalls at Cheeseman Provincial Park were I stayed. Hike the Coastrangs Trail in the Codroy Valley.

Preparation for ferry ride to Newfoundland. This was a huge ferry, much like the one I took from Calais France to York England years ago.

Long trip from St. John’s Nova Scotia to the ferry port near Sydney, NS.

Traveled to St. John’s Nova Scotia. St. John’s is a bigger city with a paper tissue factory (see photo) and a lot of shopping centers.

Leaving the Baxter Park area on the way to Cutle, ME. Mostly a dreary rainy trip over questionable roads.

Drive through Northern NH to Baxter State Park in Maine. Stay near Big Moose Inn. Hiked Mount Katahdin to Baxter Peak on the Abol Trail.

A ride on the Littleton, NH rail trail. Explored the town and met Wayne the Saxophone man.

i drove from NH to the Stowe area to hike Smuggler’s Notch and Visit the town. Along the way I met some really great people and checked out the world’s number one brewery.

Pancakes along a river in NH.
A nice location in NH along the river and some thoughts on what I need in a campground for a year of car / tent camping. KOA seems to check all the boxes.

A scenic route to Burlington VT with a stopover in shelburne, VT for coffee. The afternoon was spent roaming around the center of Burlington and later the Vermont capitol, Montpelier.

As it was raining all day in the Lake Placid area, I didn’t get to hike Indian Head. I spent the day touring Lake Placid and the surrounding waterways. Despite the wetness, I got to see a lot of the Olympic related sites and meet a fun couple at the campsite.

Day started with a drive into the mounts and breakfast with a view. I spent time hiking and getting lost. I found a great KOA campground near Lake Placid and relaxed.

After leaving the Watkins Glen / Ithaca region, I took non-interstate roads to Albany. A much longer route, but I have a chance to see much more. I spent about four hours in the capital and then drove north towards, Lake Placid.

I spent the day touring Taughannock Falls State Park and Ithaca.

Setting off on the first leg of the adventure to my high school reunion in Central Pennsylvania.
