From Gillette – it was really just foot down and cover the miles with Alice taking some of the driving. We had one last overnight in Butte, MT, and a very nice steak, then continuing on I-90 and finally getting back to Seattle. As Alice was driving I was on ‘photograph the state sign’ duty […]
With the trip shorted by the broken engine we had to drop the Duluth stage, as I’d mentioned earlier – and also we had to cut out Yellowstone and Grand Teton. But on Memorial Day we made sure that we had a shorter day’s drive so that we could take in Badlands National Park, Mt […]
With the car fixed by Friday and sporting a reconditioned engine we were headed back to the US – but with a more demanding schedule as I had to get back to work – and Alice had a flight to catch. We had to cut out a portion of the trip going North of Lakes […]
When Alice agreed to come on the 2nd part of the road trip she asked if Niagara Falls was an option – but as our path should have taken us from Montreal across to Duluth that wasn’t really en-route. But with a couple of days to spare we hired a car and headed to Toronto […]
After Quebec City the plan was to drive to Montreal – Diane would then catch a plane back to Seattle, Alice would fly in from the UK and join me for the 2nd part of the road trip – Montreal to Seattle. It didn’t quite work out as planned. Half-way to Montreal the car died. […]
One day isn’t enough to see all that Quebec City has to offer obviously – so we aimed to see some local sights in the morning and headed out to Montmorency Falls and then across to the Ile d’Orleans – after of course breakfast at Paillard! The afternoon was back into town and a good […]
The observant amongst you (if anyone is reading this and following the series) will have noticed that the last post didn’t get us to Quebec – but ended in Shediac. That felt like a good place to end the last blog post. Leaving Shediac (which is in New Brunswick) we headed a little way up […]
A day to look around Nova Scotia – not nearly enough – before we were heading through Prince Edward Island and then back to New Brunswick and North to Quebec. But first Nova Scotia. We headed South down to Lunenburg and also took in Mahone Bay on the way – for an often photographed set […]
After a very pleasant breakfast in St Martin, which almost made up for the disappointing arrival the evening before, we headed along the cost to the Fundy National Park. Another time the Fundy Trail Provincial Park might be worth a drive through – but we had quite a few miles to cover and this wasn’t […]
Part 1 of the cross country road trip. First heading even further North East – out of New Hampshire and along the Maine coast into Canada and New Brunswick.
