Massachusetts - Off to Newfoundland

We are off on another adventure - this time to Canada's Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
We actually scheduled this trip for 2018, but the trip was put on hold. Now with a new trailer, we are ready to explore.

Our general itinerary includes:
  • Letterboxing with friends at an event in New Hampshire.
  • Seeing the easternmost point in the United States. Do you know where that is?

  • Touring Franklin Roosevelt's summer place on Campobello Island, New Brunswick Canada.
  • Driving and hiking the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island in northern Nova Scotia. We visited there back in 2000 and liked it so much we wanted to go back.

  • Taking a 7-hour ferry to Newfoundland - a new province for us!
  • Spending 4 weeks exploring Newfoundland with hikes, boat tours, historic places, lighthouses, wildlife, seafood and lots more. We should get to the easternmost point of Canada, too. There might be a little redundancy for Bill who just saw fishing villages, puffins, and icebergs in Iceland with Carrie, but there are plenty of new things to see and explore. Maybe we'll get to this spot.

  • Taking the ferry back.


  • And ending the trip with another letterboxing event.
