Looking for Lancaster Friends

Cape Breton National Park, Nova Scotia

We were headed to Maine when our neighbor friends mentioned they were going to a Celtic music festival in Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia has always seemed like an impossibly far-off place, but on the map, it didn’t look so far…

Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick

We chose the coastal route from Bar Harbor, Maine to Nova Scotia, Canada. That took us through St. John’s, New Brunswick and lots of small fishing villages. We decided to camp at the Bay of Fundy National Park, which was…

Wells Beach, Maine

From Vermont, we drove to Wells Beach, Maine, where we had a quick overnight on our way to Bar Harbor. It wasn’t an especially quaint coastal town, a touristy place deserted in off season and with the roads ripped apart…

Eclipse at River’s Edge
