Cedar Dunes Provincial Park

June 10, 2023Posted in2023 East Coast Tour
It’s still grey and overcast when we wake, the forecast is for better days ahead, will today be the day we find the sun? Or it finds us? The morning is the typical routine, awaken slowly and too early to be of much use for anything ahead of the morning…

Parlee Provincial Park

June 9, 2023Posted in2023 East Coast Tour
We spent Thursday relaxing and reading in the van whilst the rain showers continued. We did get out for a walk from the campground to the bottom of the ski hills (they don’t allow hiking up them for some reason) and I’ve include a few pictures below. Sugarloaf Provincial Park,…

It’s OK gang, you didn’t miss anything, I just chose to combine two days into a single post. Grand Vallée, QC. The day starts with a beautiful morning, although not clear, the sky is bright and we awake to the view across the St. Lawrence river. Our drive to Forillon…

Into the Gaspé

June 4, 2023Posted in2023 East Coast Tour
A crisp 6C start to the day. The winds have dropped quite a lot but it’s still breezy coming off of the water. We packed up and prepared to leave, no shorts and tee shirts today. We were about to pull out of our sight when I looked across the…

Notre vue depuis la route

Bonjour! As you might be able to guess today we set-off on our East coast trip to the Maritimes & we are starting in ‘la belle province de Québec’. (Oh, the title of this post is ‘Our view from the road’ for those of our readers that do not read…

Nothing to declare

May 30, 2023Posted in2023 East Coast Tour
Awake at 6:30am following a nice night in the park. I head off to the shower hoping that I find hot water. I am mostly satisfied as the water is warm and pleasant enough to enjoy. Barb reports from her slightly later shower that the system was now up-to-speed and…

Lake Erie State Park

Well, the night was warm and the nearby I-65 was at times a bit noisy. Evidently there is also a railroad close to this Cracker Barrel which a few times overnight woke me. So, we are at 7:00am awake and getting ready for breakfast. The restaurant is open and based…

The 107th running of the Indy 500

May 28, 2023Posted in2023 East Coast Tour
6:00am and thousands of sleeping campers are awakened by one fool who thinks it’s cute to fire off an enormous thundering firework to announce the start of Race Day. Thanks buddy. So, we’re awake and enjoying a light breakfast when we realize that we are now being entertained by Christmas…

Arriving in Indy

May 27, 2023Posted in2023 East Coast Tour
After enjoying a beverage and slice of pizza at our hosts last evening, we enjoyed a long and silent night. The views across the farmland this morning were serene. Windmills on the horizon quietly turning about their business whilst a few early farming types were up and running about getting…

Heading West to go East?

May 26, 2023Posted in2023 East Coast Tour
Welcome to the first in a series of posts in which we will share with you a trip to the Canadian Maritime provinces. We’re traveling in our 2022 PleasureWay OnTour 2.2 camper-van again and plan on staying at a variety of campgrounds along the way. It’s late May 2023 and…

Recap and Statistics

May 2, 2023Posted in2023 Southwest US tour
It’s been a week or so since we arrived home after our 47 day US Southwest tour and I thought I’d share some specifics about the trip. The first question tends to be about where we stayed each night. Did we find suitable camping locations? So, here are the stats…

Day 47: The road home

April 23, 2023Posted in2023 Southwest US tour
Days 45 & 46 were spent visiting family & there was no specific post for those days. This is it, the last day of this trip. We are up early and it’s cool. We enjoy breakfast and say our goodbyes (for now) and hit the road. Our first stop is…

Day 43: Northward bound

April 19, 2023Posted in2023 Southwest US tour
A nice quiet night at the Walmart parking lot in Russellville, KY. We’re up early with the sun again and soon all set to get back on the road. A short drive to Bowling Green, KY where we stop at the Crumbl cookie store. We’ve been hearing good things about…

Day 42: Russellville

April 18, 2023Posted in2023 Southwest US tour
We awake in Russellville. Tonight we sleep in Russellville. Huh? What gives? This morning we started in Russellville, AR. Tonight we are about 450miles further towards home and are staying in Russellville, KY. It wasn’t planned this way however. The day started fairly normally and after breakfast we rejoined I-40E…
