May 16 – 20 We did not vanish after Quebec, rather I ran out of time, ready Internet access, and perhaps steam to keep up with this blog. Cathie and I have been back in Las Cruces since June 14…
Quebec
May 12 to 15 Quebec is a beautiful province. We entered from Labrador and drove south on QC 389. It, like the TLH, had a long stretch that was gravel. We now have two well-earned stickers, one proclaims we survived…
Labrador
May 8 to 12 Our trip through Labrador went well, but several hundred kilometers on the Trans Labrador Highway (THC) required many hours of mostly undivided attention. The first night we stayed in Mary’s Harbour. At this time of year…
Newfoundland #2
May 6 & 7 As with the previous post I present mostly photos. The first gallery is from our stay in Rocky Harbour. This little town is located on the northwest side of Newfoundland. Clearly the string of cabins shows…
Newfoundland #1

Nova Scotia & Cape Breton

Weather cancels ferry, leaves time to blog
May 3, 2016 A couple of days before we left Maine, Cathie and I watched the Shipping News. If you saw that movie, and the title to this blog seemed familiar in some vague way, it’s because I borrowed heavily…
Last Days in Maine
Tomorrow we start our return trip to New Mexico. We are taking the long way through Canada. We’ll start with the Maritimes and then on to Newfoundland and Labrador. Next will be Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and a bit…
History Tour
March 28 – April 4 Our trip south had a strong history flavor to it. I’ve always wanted to see some Civil War battle sites, and Gettysburg is arguably the biggest if not also the most significant. Since we were…
Spring Undecided
March 20 & 21, 2016 It is now officially spring everywhere in the northern hemisphere. Apparently this is the earliest spring since 1896. The reasons involve the way our calendar works. Every year evenly divisible by 4 is a leap…
