Back to the Maine Land

We decided not to take the ferry from Nova Scotia back to the states and had to back track a bit through New Brunswick. That took us full day and we stayed at a RV park in transition right near the Canadian\US border. The park had new owners and they were hoping to get it back in shape. It was situated on nice spot but needed some work. I hope they make it!

We left bright and early the next day. Spent the last of our Canadian money on diesel fuel. Jack was happy that would be the last time he had to pump that much money into the tank. All in all Canada averaged about 25% higher for everything. We had good time with our Canadian neighbors but we were glad to get back into the good old USA. We crossed over on US 1. They had a brand new border crossing facility with a special bay for RVs and trucks. We were pretty much the only ones crossing which we thought was odd. The border patrol looked happy to have something to do. Turns out most of the local traffic use the old crossing.

Us 1 was slow going and needs some love and care. We were planning on staying in the Bar Harbor area and checking out Acadia NP but the area was a zoo! We headed on down the road a bit and stayed in a RV park just outside of Searsport. It was right on the water and had this mother earth funky granola vibe. They had goats and a garden and all sorts of fun things for the little ones but it was pricey. We really enjoyed the park and had a fun time exploring the area and local towns. Lots to do but after Canada the added traffic and crowds was a bit of an adjustment.
Next Jack and I went down memory lane. Both of us lived in Brunswick at one time years apart and we suspected that we may have lived in the same motor home park just outside of town. The town of Brunswick has grown a bit but we did find the park and it was the same place we both remembered. We have few of these type of almost meeting situations in our lives - guess we were just meant to be together!

The next leg of the trip is dedicated to visiting old friends and family. First stop Massachusetts and an old friend of Jack's -Russell Seegers.
The park we stayed in was nestled in the woods and had a family of wild turkeys roaming around and a wonderful farm stand \bakery across the road. Russell gave us tour of the area by car and boat. We met a few of Russel's friends Ray and Harriet and had a wonderful cookout at the Biff homestead of steak,lobster and fresh baked pecan pie courtesy of the farm stand. Good food and friends made for a wonderful time.
