Maine

From New Brunswick we headed for the border and had no problems crossing over into the US. The very tall and rather large border guard said "I'm coming on board". A statement, not a question. He squeezed through into the bathroom and bedroom area and had a good look around. Not sure if he was looking for illegal Canadians trying to cross the border or pets. I did wonder how he got on with the larger motorhomes that have 4 sliders where you can't get through when they're on the road.

We followed highway 1 along the coast to Trenton, about 20 miles north of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, a lovely seaside town.

We visited Acadia National Park, drove the park loop along the coast then up Cadillac Mountain where the views of the harbour and coastline were amazing

After the Labor day weekend, we continued down the coast. A friend of mine had suggested visiting Cape Elizabeth en-route, but the weather had turned thanks to the storm surge from hurricane Hermine so we didn't make it (sorry Jonathan). What a difference a day makes. We had a couple of drizzly days at Kennebunkport but the surfers were having fun

And we spotted the Bush's summer cottage

We followed the coast road again, down through New Hampshire (which we will visit properly later) and into Massachusetts where we picked up the I-95 freeway through Boston. We are staying in a little village called Westport near Dartmouth and have caught up with friends we met in Whistler (thanks again Doug and Anna for your lovely hospitality). From here we hope visit Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and Boston to name but a few. Watch this space...
