We crossed New Brunswick fairly quickly cutting through the heart of the province.It was a pretty drive as the autumn leaves have just begun to show a bit of fall color changing. We had a lovely time along the St. John River all day walking around King’s Landing. It is a 19th century reconstructed historical village depicting life in early New Brunswick. The various interpreters dressed in 1800s period costumes were ever so willing to share many interesting and fascinating tidbits with us. Entering the settlement’s numerous buildings we were able to see an old saw mill in operation, a printer making signs, blacksmith forging iron fittings, the King’s Tavern serving food and drink, and various farmhouse folks performing their daily tasks.

Finally a drive about 15 kilometers north to see the world’s longest covered bridge at Hartland, New Brunswick was a must do before departing Canada. As we pulled up to the entrance of the bridge there was a height restriction of 10 feet posted, so unfortunately the rig couldn’t cross the bridge.

Canada has been a grand odyssey filled with terrific memories these past four months while traveling across its wonderful nation. There are doers and dreamers and we DID IT in the best way possible. The border crossing put us into the USA at Houlton, Maine today.

The next phase of the trip finds us heading off as leaf peepers to enjoy quaint little hamlets in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
"Hey honey wanna find a summer cottage in New England to buy?"
"Well how about a grand B&B Inn along a river so all our family and friends can come join us as guests too. "
"There ARE possibilities you know."
Feel free to tune into the blog any day to keep up on the road adventures ahead throughout October. Blessings and Happy Fall to you...
