We Are Canadian

Hi one and all. We Are Back In Canada!!!!!! Yes we arrived in Amherst Nova Scotia on the 22nd of April. Since our last Blog update we have traveled through Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and New Brunswick all to get to Nova Scotia. We stopped for a night in Virginia before heading for Hershey Pa. No trip to Hershey would be complete without a stop at the Hershey Chocolate factory.

 At Least we Know Where We Were

 June With Her Degree in Chocolate Tasting

 One of Junes New Favourite Places

We spent 2 and a half hours touring Hershey World and gift shop. It was fairly interesting but if you spent the day doing all the activities offered it would cost you around $130.00 for a couple. That does not include the "gift shop".

We left Hershey and drove onto Epsom New Hampshire. By the time we got here we were both bushed. We hadn't taken any days off in a while so we shut down for three days.

 Our Picnic stop

 Fake Smiles due to the snow in the background.

New Hampshire doesn't have a state tax so this was our last big shopping day before Canada. The stop also let us do all those chores we love, laundry,cleaning and fixing. The park we were in had just opened as they still had snow on the ground two weeks ago. This made us nervous about going on but 6 calls later we found a park just outside of Bangor Maine that would have a spot for us when we got there.

 One of many Beaver Lodges we saw.

The stop in Bangor was very interesting. When we arrived the park owner said he wasn't opening for another two weeks but he had got the water working and the power on at one site for us. What a guy he even offered us the use of the shower in their home if we needed it.

We left Bangor in the morning of the 22nd and headed for the border at Calais Maine. I had budgeted an hour for the border crossing as the truck was last in Canada on the 4th of January but we were held up for about 5 minutes and the border dude didn't even leave his booth. We drove through St. Stephens New Brunswick happy to be back in Canada. 
We were unable to find another campground open between the border and Amherst so after changing the clocks an hour ahead to Atlantic time we pushed on through St. John and Moncton.
