Our 5,223 mile route to St. John's, Newfoundland and back

We started in June for the furthest EAST in North America, St. John’s Newfoundland.  Our first stop was the city of Boston for the day – camping out in Maine that night.  Acadia was next, where we saw vast changes from high tide to low tide – and almost got stranded on an island where high tide was hastily rising over our sandbar road.  We went to Nova Scotia next to stay the night in Halifax – and the following day at Cape Breton. 

From Sydney, Nova Scotia, we took a 5 hour ferry ride to Newfoundland.  Our one campsite gave us our own private beach and if we came in May, we would have been able to view icebergs floating southwest through the chilly waters.  We spent 4-5 nights in Newfoundland, making our way to St. John’s and back.  St. Mary’s was a cool foggy destination where you would hike to the cliffs to view a bird sanctuary.  When then made our way to the shores of Prince Edward Island to view massive limestone cliff cutouts as we crossed the 10 mile bridge to the island.  Making our way to the old cities of Québec and Montreal, we ended up in the 1,000 Islands for the night, 6 hours away from Rochester, NY.
