The end of our adventure is almost here. Mid June we decided
to make the extreme effort to travel across the Country in an attempt to arrive
in Halifax for a family function. The reason for it being a challenge we wanted
to spend the Canada day holiday weekend at the Ponoka rodeo and then leaving on July 2 to be in Halifax
for July 6.
July 2… we left Alberta
at 5:30 am and after 1370k
arrived at Walmart in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba at 11:00 pm, Central time… entered
Saskatchewan at 11:30 am and entered Manitoba at 7:45pm.
July 3… we left Manitoba at 6 am and after 1080k arrived at Tourist Bureau in Longlac ,
Ontario at 10:00 pm, Eastern time…
entered Ontario at 9:50 am
July 4… we left Longlac Ont.
at 6 am and after 1210 k arrived
at Canadian Tire in Casselman , Ontario
at 10:30 pm, Eastern time.
July 5… we left Casselman, Ont. at 5:30 am and after 1236 k arrived at Loch Lomond RV park in Amherst , N.S. at 10:00 pm, Atlantic time..entered Quebec at
7 am, entered N.B. at 3:40 Atlantic Time.. entered N.S. at 9:45 pm.
July 6… we left Amherst , N.S.. at 9 am and after 298 k arrived at Woodhaven RV park in Hammonds
Plains ,N.S. Somewhere along the Cobequid pass in N.S. we had logged 5000km
across Canada from Alberta.
Of note.. we could not have done this with one driver … salute
to Bonnie . The long days and the prairies were an advantage. Speaking of
the prairies, they were not as we
expected , small rolling type hills, not pancake flat and not boring . The
roads in northern Ontario were the worst we travelled thru all of our adventure
including the USA. Some of the best roads in Canada … N.B. first, N.S. second.
Some sights that were memorable in no particular order , the forest in Oregon
(redwoods &sequoias), the Oregon coast , the Okanagan valley in B.C., the Rockies,
the rodeos , Mt. St. Helens, Death
Valley, sea lions cave, British Columbia, loggers competition in Sequim ,
Washington , hot springs in B.C.
Some of our favourite towns in no particular order… Sequim
Washington, Vernon/ Osoyoos & Powell River all ofB.C.
We have enjoyed our adventure immensely and hope to arrive
home in the next few days and would definitely do it all again-just not right
away.
