CAN/MAR Week #3

Monday 7/21/25

There was a power failure in  the park and which stopped the water pressure -----all the flush toilets then failed. They brought in portapotties at 2 am.  Our rig has it's own water and electrical supply so we weathered this storm okay. 

The second day we took a couple hikes: Herring Cove and Dickson Falls.

The third day we drove the Fundy Trail which is now a Provincal Park. The pictures below do not do it justice.

 This is a rest day for us. We drove to a RV park in Moncton for showers and laundry. We did go to Magnetic Hill where you stop at the bottom of this hill; put your car in neutral; take your foot off the brake and the hill will pull you up to the top. Unfortunately our video of this was crap.

From New Brunswick we drove to Prince Edward Island (PEI or IPE in French) via the Confederation Bridge which is 8 miles (12.9km) long crossing the Northumberland Strait. Then it was a pleasant drive through the western  part of PEI. We made a stop at the Potato Museum. PEI grows most of Canada's potatoes (~15,000 Lbs per capita of PEI); then on to our campground at Jacques Cratier Provincial Park. Nice park on the ocean. There's three things to eat in PEI; potatoes, mussels and oysters.

We then move on to PEI National Park - Cavendish. Interesting park as most of the trees were broken off halfway from the effects of tropical storm/Hurricane Fiona in 2019. This park also contains Green Gables Heritage Place.  So if you are into Anne of Green Gables this is Meca.

Saturday 7/26/25

We drove into the city of Charlottetown; PEI's capital and has about 70-80% of theisland's population. We found a spot to park near the town's "Boardwalk" and we were tourists, finding a sittdown stop for PEI oysters.  We then drove around the bay to the Fort Amherst Lighthouse to Boondock for the night. It ended up that there were 8 other boondockers there. Leave it to iOverlander to show you the good boondocking sites.

This day we continued our PEI drive to our final island campground Nothumberland Provical Park for two nights. Another pleasant park with a dog friendly beach. We stopped at another PEI lighthouse along the way.
