Day 4 - July 7th - Edmundston, NB to Amherst, NS

Day 4 – July 7th – Today was just another uneventful travel day - always nice!  Vance and Joan are still in Edmundston as they were having issues with their truck – no power for climbing hills and it was intermittent L.  They are planning on leaving tomorrow after the work is completed.  They will arrive one day after us in North Sydney, no impact on the sailing schedule to NL.  Here’s hoping everything goes well.

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia had some serious power problems due to hurricane Arthur.  Much of the power along Hwy 2 is out in NB.  There are spots here and there that do have power; it is very easy to tell where, just look for all the cars and trucks getting fuel J.  Some areas of New Brunswick are not expected to have power back until Friday!

We managed to stop at the Covered Bridge Potato Chip Factory in Hartland, NB.  There was no power but were still open for cash sales only, Yea!!

Our current park is very nice, very neat, grass is manicured and there are a number of seasonal campers here but their lots are well maintained, obviously they take great pride in their sites and this park.

The people we met last night are from the same town as Doug C.’s family and they know of Doug’s grandfather and maybe others in the family, yes it is a small world.

So until tomorrow …..

  2. I had truck issues with the same symptoms while we were in Colorado. It was a sensor that needed replacing. Hopefully it is something simple for Vance & Joan and they can be back on the road quickly.
