Fast forward to December 2018

You can probably tell I've become very lax at keeping up this blog.  Frankly I find it's just too much work for too little pleasure.  However, I've been told I should at least let folks know where we are and I'm agreeable to that.  So here, in three maps, is our trip from September 3, 2018 to December 20, 2018.

September 3 - October 24

October 24 - December 1

December 1 - December 20

So now you are caught up.  I'll try to keep this more up to date from now on, possibly with a few pictures every now and then.

August 9, 2018 - September 3, 2018 - Woolastook Provincial Park

Woolastook Provincial Park  

Our hosts at Woolastook - Cheryl and Des.
We met them last year in Florida where they spend the winters away from the cold and snow of New Brunswick.
We had such a wonderful time there.

Doreen and Barney enjoy a ride on a golf cart provided by Des and Cheryl. 
The park is huge so a golf cart was a great way to see it all.

Kings Landing Historical Settlement - another terrific living history museum, certainly the most picturesque!
