Trip North - Acadia to Bay of Fundy

We leave Acadia National Park and head to Bay of Fundy

in New Brunswick, Canada

Just about at the 1/2 way point

Calais is the border town in the US

One last gas up in the U.S. at $2.92 / gal.

We cross the bridge

and wait our turn.  Of course I am a nervous wreck imagining getting pulled 

over and our RV being torn apart.  But when it is our turn we pull over to

the Right which pretty much blocks all other traffic from the entry

on the left so we breeze through fairly quickly

Route 1 through New Brunswick is a nice drive.

 Not much in the way of pull outs until we get to this
Visitor's Center just before our exit.

 There is a lovely Marsh behind it

 We pass through St. John

 and finally get to our exit

The road down to the Bay is a bit bumpy

 but after a few miles it improves.

 Uh oh

 There goes that nice new road.

 The final stretch is a steep winding road down

but the view!

 Headquarters Campground is just ahead

Our reservations were for tomorrow but the weather forecasted heavy rain on Wednesday so we take our chances coming in a day early.  I had emailed the Park to check that it was open and operating normally and was assured that

it was fully functional.  Well I guess that means no electricity.

We set up and head into Alma for dinner.

 Looks like the Tide is coming in

 We drive through Town and end up here.  Turns out it is the only place open.

 Gary not being a lobster guy has a hamburger and
I opted for the steamers.

The next morning we wake to still no electricity.  After we get up and go out we find out everyone else does.  A kind Canadian guy has a "squeaker" to check our electric box.  Turns out it has power, but when we plug in our surge protector or 50 amp plug it doesn't come through.  We check an empty site across the way and it works there but the office doesn't open until 11.  Gary and his new  friend find someone from the park and they come over.  After flicking the breaker switches several times it finally works.

Now we can go have fun!
