Finally on the Road

After a week of loading and unloading, doing all the housekeeping things that we forgot to do we finally have left Lunenburg.
It was a beautiful sunny day as we left. Began to realize that I was pulling something bigger than the old 24 foot trailer. Stopped at the truck scales between Halifax and the airport. We weigh 21716 pounds or 9850 KG for you metric types.
Had a good drive up to Amherst where we stopped at a RV park called Loch Lomond.  Had a few rain showers driving through Wentworth but other than that a great drive.
Setting the new unit up is still a bit of a challenge. I'm going to have to start dumping a quarter in a bottle for every time I swear. Could be rich by the end of this trip.
Since both of us grew up in this area, we visited relatives including my 98.5 year old aunt.
This campground is a hidden gem. Paved roads, large sites, extremely clean and well kept up.
Had  a late dinner, plus a large drink of black rum (for me) and a small white wine for DW.
We are off tomorrow and heading up through New Brunswick. Don't know how far we'll get, but will let you know in the next post.

  1. Greetings Voyageurs,

    Its nice to know that you are on the road again. It was great to have the Montana tour Monday in Lunenburg. Now I can picture you in your roving home on wheels. How does 21716 pounds relate to your legal load? Sounds like it handled well and that you were pleased with the first day.

    Travel well and keep us posted.
