Another 200 mile travel day to Grand Island New York where we will be in an RV park for a couple nights to visit Niagara Falls. Yoli got some time behind the wheel today on I-90 across New York. Sunny day, low temps, nice ride.
We woke up to cooler temps in the upper 50's this morning and certainly enjoying that over the 100 degree days back home in Grapevine Texas. Today was a travel day as we make our way towards Niagra falls. Our first stop was Rome New York on the Erie Canal. We found a boondock spot at Harbor East Park right at the Rome Public free dock where loopers tie up for the night. We meetup with a couple loopers and talk boats, Bahamas, and travel plans. Looking forward to our own great loop adventure next year.
Yesterday we left Montreal and headed south to Colchester Vermont. We waited just over an hour in line at the border crossing on a Sunday afternoon. We reserved an RV spot at Lone Pine Campground on Lake Champlain. Today is Monday and marks our 100th day of our summer adventure to Newfoundland. We have now used over 200 coffee filters, driven over 7200 miles, crossed 4 provinces of Canada, and crossed over more than 12 states in the USA. Today we met with our boat broker and spent the morning checking out a 2012 Meridian 441 sedan bridge and a Cruisers Yachts 405 aft cabin as possible loop boats.
We spent the last three days here in Montreal just chill'n by the pool with our friends Ann & Julie that we met in Cabarete, DR this past winter. They were excellent hosts, from brunch, to BBQ Ribs and Tators. We caught up on all our travels and we will certainly look forward to more meetups where ever they may be in the world. Good times, with good friends, nothing better. Tomorrow, we pack it in and cross the border back into U.S.A. into Vermont where we will spend a couple nights on Lake Champlain checking out some potential boats for the great loop adventure hopefully next year.
oday was a travel day. We hit the road at the crack of noon for 185 mile ride to Montreal. It was a nice day, no rain, just a couple sprinkles. We hit Traffic around 3-4pm as we came into Montreal, but overall, an easy trip on the highway, no rough roads, at least not to many patchy spots. We fill up on fuel, do a grocery stock up stop, and call it a day as we set up camp at Mirabel Campground on the north side of Montreal. We will here for 4 nights visiting friends that live here. Can't wait...
Today was just a short 107 mile drive to Quebec City where we camped at an RV park across the river. We took the campground shuttle to the ferry dock and a short 15 minute shuttle across the river to Old Quebec City. It was very busy with lots of tourists. We walked over 3 miles in town and had a great lunch on the promenaded and just watched people go by. It was interesting to say the least, lots of variety, non-stop entertainment. In Quebec, they all speak french, and they drop the english translation on most all signs.
We spend two days in a Wal-mart parking lot in Riviere-du-Loop and it wasn't that bad. We had a great walk at waterfalls park and drove the town as we were just really killing an extra day before we head to Quebec City. The weather is supposed to be good in a couple days, so we only have one day for a trip into the city, and wanted it to be sunny and nice when we get there.
