*END* of PEI trip- drove home from Campobello

We left Campobello in the fog Thursday morning, after a very enjoyable stay there, crossing the bridge into the US. Since we were in the area (ha ha) we had to head to Freeport ME for a browse at the main LL Bean store. It's become so large they've had to split into 3 buildings now. Fun to browse anyway, and we could have spent a lot there.

On Friday morning we headed over to I90 and just drove. We went off the highway for an overnight stay at a campground we have enjoyed before (Adirondack Gateway), and then back to I90 Saturday for the last push home. Along the way a transport truck ran off the road, through a guardrail, and landed upside down on a road that crosses under I90. Don't know if anyone was hurt, but it tied up traffic for quite a while. It took us almost an hour to get through the stop-and-go traffic past the accident site.

At Niagara we somewhat accidentally crossed at the Rainbow Bridge instead of Queenston, and that actually worked well. Kind of a small-town feel there, and a $3 token from the Duty-free store got us and the trailer over the bridge, instead of the $10 it would have cost elsewhere. No real customs hassles at either crossing this trip.

We got to Curt and Jo-Anne's about 4pm to pick up our Lab and have a short visit, then home about 6:30.

What a great trip this was! We did a number of things differently than previous trips, and except for Mt Carleton park the changes all enhanced the trip for us. Can't hardly wait to go again!

  1. Yes, we did LLBean's too and enjoyed it. After reading through this trip, you've got me inspired to start thinking about a maritime trip sometime.
