Melvin makes it past Canadian customs
6-4-14
Up early and watch the news while I set up new GPS. Sorry Jenn I took the one from the burb. Use Waze on your phone.
After coffee and a raisin bagel we went for a walk about. Then I mounted our plates "Castle3". Kind of a dreary day, so we'll watch a movie after lunch. First cooked meal in the Castle was spaghetti, yum yum.

No WiFi in Maine and cell service was intermittent so my version hot spot only worked for one up date.
Today we got underway at 11 AM after a fillup of propane and giving away all our fruits and veggies. We were told we couldn't enter Canada with them. 5 minutes to hook up the VW, love that system.
Stopped for a seanic view along the way and snapped a few pics of Melvin. Not long after saw a young moose and a very large bald eagle just sitting at the edge of a wooded area along the road. Mamma and a gaggle of chicks tried to cross interstate in front of us. Hope they made it. I saw most of them in rear view mirror. It was close, but not worth crashing over.
Got in the wrong lane at the Canadian border (trucks only) saw the RV lane when it was too late. Once I took my tounge lashing, we were asked our destination, only to find parts of Moncton was partially shut down for a manhunt. Last night 3 Mounties were killed and they were still looking for the shooter. Lucky our campsite was on the other side of town. Rained most of the way. Stopped about 4:30 to adjust wiper (of course it had to be the drivers side). Got to Moncton site @ 7:30 (1 hour time change) Still raining &$;/)@"!?
Hooked up and settled for the night. More rain scheduled for tomorrow.
:(
PS phones are shut off due to extreme roaming charges. We'll check Email nightly.
