To Moncton New Brunswick

 

Driving in New  Brunswick

Odd feeling driving under this trestle of logs

 

 

We're just in time to see the lupine in full bloom. It was everywhere and beautiful!

 

 

Another little town on the way to Moncton NB

 

St. Andrews looks like a quaint town we'd like to visit

 

The town of St. John. Here is the turn off for Digby. Last time we visited Nova Scotia in 2013

we were just in time for the scallop festival with parade in Digby.

 

St. John shoreline

 

Our campsite in Moncton for our 2 night stay

 

 

We went shopping and bought local strawberries. Very delicious!

Also got to shop at one of our favorite Canadian stores: Canadian Tire.

They sell tires and so much more. Kind of like a Sears/Costco/Shopko combo.

 

 

When did you last purchase fruit in a wooden basket?

 

After swimming in many lakes and creeks from MN eastward, it was time to wash the dogs.

Oh course they had to dry off on the bed, then we changed the bedding.

 

 

Our Moncton camp had a dog run. The girls enjoyed it.

 

 

Come on, throw the Frisbee!

 

 

Where are your eyes Shelby?

 

 

Halifax tomorrow!

 

 

 

 

To New Brunswick

Just a quick little drive through NY, MA, NH and ME to get to New Brunswick Canada

                Driving through New York we can tell the construction season is in full swing

 

The construction makes for some very skinny driving lanes

 

Entering Massachusetts, "Make it Yours"

 

It's a parking lot out here

 

At least we had an interesting car to look at

 

Looking for moose in the bog

 

Entering New Hampshire, "Live Free or Die"

 

On into Maine, ""The Way Life Should Be"

 

At camp Pumpkin Patch in Hermon, ME

 

We saw plenty of these road-side cemeteries. At one time they were probably far from the road.

 

On the road to Calais ME to cross the border

 

Approaching the border crossing. We were ask the usual questions about residence, citizenship, why we're entering Canada, how long we plan to stay and where we're going in Canada. They ask our employment and when we said retired, we were ask retired from what? Did we have any firearms, Tasers, bear spray, booze, cigarettes and fruits and vegetables. Our enhanced drivers license worked just fine at the border crossing.

 

Entering New Brunswick

Seneca Falls New York

 

Visiting Seneca Falls NY

 

Seneca Falls is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the fictional town of “Bedford Falls”, portrayed in filmmaker Frank Capra’s classic 1946 film It’s a Wonderful life

 

 

Following our friends into town

 

 

 

Seneca Falls is the home of the current and proposed new Women's Hall of Fame

In 2013 we visited the current location and thought they had moved into their new

building which is an old woolen knitting mill. Unfortunately part of it is in ruins.

 

 

Since the museum hadn't moved, we decided to go see the museum of "It's a Wonderful Life"

 

 

The museum shares it's space with 

                                          IDEA Center for the Voices of Humanity

Frank Capra spent summers in Seneca Falls and fashioned the Bedford Falls bridge after this one

 

                             Another free night at camp Walmart. This one is in Glenmont NY
