[Boatman]

Waiting to get on a ferry to Prince Edward Island from Caribou, Nova Scotia.  No cost to get on PEI but it costs a motorcycle and rider $17.00 to get off either by ferry or the Confederation 8 mile bridge back to New Brunswick.

This ferry can haul 8 semi's, poor trucker was the ninth in line for the 1st ferry and has waited 2 hours.

PEI ferry coming into port to pick us up.

[Boatman]

Open wide-this ferry is ride on/drive off.  Bikes were loaded first.  They did not have ratchet straps but worn out pull tight straps.  Bikes did not move.

[Boatman]

They could double stack cars on this ferry as well as the Cat.

Cow's famous ice cream on PEI..  Do not have a lot of pictures of PEI but was beautiful to me for all the agriculture on this island.  Corn, soy beans, wheat, oats, hay-thought I was back home.  First we had seen since we had left Pa..   Farm land on one side of the road and farm fields on the other side.

A school on PEI-just a reminder to Emily that school starts 4 days after we get home.

The 8 mile Confederation Bridge we took off PEI to New Brunswick.  Smooth as glass and no wind.  The bridge joints were rough for such a new bridge.

Hopewell Cape-Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick.  Tide's out.  Tide goes in and out 35-50 feet-the highest change in the world.

Another of Hopewell Cape.

Alma, New Brunswick.

Alma boats waiting for the tide to come in.

[Boatman]

Reversing falls at  St John's, New Brunswick.  When the tide comes in, up the falls the water goes.

New Brunswick has a covered bridge too.
I was leading and rode by the covered bridge sign.  Stopped about a mile later and Yes, my wife would like to see the bridge.  She even said that a group of 6-7 bikers had turned off there.  Sure enough, they turned off there, but there was a tavern on the corner and all the bikes were parked there when we went back thru..

[Boatman]

We went back thru Calais, Maine to the U.S..  Rode acroos Maine and spent a night in Gorham, NH..  Got up the next morning and rode up MT Washington on a private road (Auto Road).  Approximately 6500 feet, the highest point east of the Mississipi.  Clear as day until about 1,000 feet from the summit.  Looks like we better hold on.

[Boatman]

No guard rails.  Really had no time to gawk going up or down unless stopped.  About 1/2 mile of packed dirt/gravel road about 1 mile from the top.  A cogged railroad also takes you to the top.
