Nova Scotia Adventure

So, here we are, reclining at a beautiful campsite just outside of Pugwash, Nova Scotia, but let me begin at the beginning.

Upon our return to the States 1 1/2 years ago, Steve and I have been looking at campers, we had such a good time camping around Australia, we thought we should see North America. Afterr much searching, we found "Shelly" our replacement for "Snappa" our faithful Australian tent.

So. Here we are, on our maiden adventure with Shelly. Saturday, we left Hancock and travelled to Portsmouth, then up the Maine Turnpike, through Portland, Augusta and Bangor, past Orono and Old Town, and getting off at Howland, then traveling south along the Penoboscot River to a little campsite. To be honest, when Steve pulled in I had severe thoughts, but it turned out to be lovely site. We were the only campers, the cabilns were full but there were only two of those and it wasn't a problem.

Today we travelled east through the border crossing and on through New Brunswick passing Fredericton and Moncton, then south crossing into Nova Scotia. Arriving here at our campsite east of Pugwash, right on the Northumberland Strait. When the rain clouds parted, we can see PEI, which is where we will be in Tuesday. We have driven across some beautiful countryside.

I can't say that the eastern parts of Maine that we drove through were the most beautiful, but as soon as we crossed the border into New Brunswick, the homes and properties were just well kept and beautiful.
Enjoy the few photos, remembering that the last two days were mostly spent on the road getting here.
