Fredericton, New Brunswick

Sunday, August 20^th found us crossing over into the next province of New Brunswick. We decided to head for a provincial park along the water called Mactaquac Provincial Park. We try to drive less than 300 miles and arrive in the early afternoon so as to get a good camping spot. We did not need to worry because the park was only 10% full. We had our pick of large sites in the thick forest right along the water. As in the states, it is easier to find a good camping spot during the week, rather than on the weekend. We had a few slight showers and the weather is cooler. We are now switching to jeans and jackets.

We spent Monday driving into the capitol of New Brunswick, Fredericton. They are set up to be very tourist friendly. There are many tourist centers scattered around the city with great pamphlets describing shopping, restaurants, sites, etc. They gave us a free parking pass for anywhere downtown, coupons for various businesses and they have free WiFi available throughout the city. It’s too bad that we forgot both cameras because they have an old military establishment in town with Canadian mounted police stationed there in full uniform and a changing of the guard ceremony.
