Same old routine this morning as most mornings on this journey through the Canadian Provinces of the northeast........and, as soon as the 1st Lady was up and going, I began to take care of the scheduled routine for preparing to tow TheHowserHouse. Checked all eight tires for correct pressures....and had to add 5 lb to one of the truck tires, dumped the holding tanks, and slowly, but surely we were soon ready to roll.
We didn't want to leave before 10am....as I was told we could not check in at our reserved site campground......Pine Cone Campground in Sussex, New Brunswick....until 2pm. Well....not a problem...only 230 miles today....and so, we left on time....and were soon rolling down the mountain highways and pulling up the next ones. We made one quick stop at the Information Office when we went into New Brunswick.....couldn't find my map for that Province....and so, picked up one...and went on down the road. The last half of the trip played havoc with the gas mileage......winds from the south were fairly strong....and not pleasant to drive against.
We arrived a few minutes after 2pm.....and OMG.....this cg is HUGE!!!! WAY over 200 sites and more than half are seasonal permanent trailers....and WOW!!! These are not the normal not-so-pleasant sites, but they are landscaped and decorated tastefully!!!! ALL sites are set in among the tall pines and with two pools, this is definitely a family cg with a family atmosphere.
We kicked back.....relaxed.....I grilled two T-bone steaks and the 1st Lady fixed a wonderful salad and some new potatoes. YUM...YUM.....and with the wonderful dark red medicine, this was a super meal!!!
Oh....I did just happen to look under the rear of TheHowserHouse and spied the spare tire which is fixed up under the rear of THH....and it seemed to be hanging at a funny angle.....Hmmmm. Soooo, crawled under there...and OMG....it was completely loose!!!! I went and got the crank bar that tightens the tire.....and not sure THAT would fix the problem, but it seems to have brought it up tight against the holding brace. SURE hope that takes care of the problem.......it is something that I have never thought about, nor checked on, but now it will be on my mind constantly. WOW.....it could have come off and then who the hell knows what might have occurred then!!!!!
We are now repacked and ready to head south in the morning.....and to cross the border into the states after being in Canada for SIX WEEKS!!! Longest time I have spent in this great and beautiful country.......and would certainly like to stay longer!!!!!!!! I mentioned to the 1st Lady that perhaps we should begin to think positively about spending the summers up here.....and to get away from the horrific heat and humidity of Misery. We love the area south of Halifax, as well as up on Cape Breton Island........hmmmmm,........thoughts to ponder on!
And soooo, another day on the road.........and I know for sure that....
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
