THE ATLANTIC





Our goal yesterday, was to drive around most of southern Nova Scotia in the motor home. We did just that, putting on about 300 miles, and seeing some very picturesque settings, especially along the ocean. After passing the outskirts of Halifax, I got off the main highway (103), and took the first back road towards the Atlantic. As I mentioned previously, the back roads are very narrow, and also they are often very poorly maintained. I drove two loops along the ocean, and even though the scenery was pretty awesome, the motor home was taking a beating. When we returned to the main highway, I vowed to stay on it, but when we rounded the southern tip, I took Hwy 1 along the Bay of Fundy, and it turned out to be narrow, but in much better condition. We drove along the coast for about 35 miles, and it was a great drive. At the end of the day, we found a Wal-Mart to park for the night. From about the time we entered Canada, our new Winegard Satellite TV antenna has not been able to lock onto the HD satellite, so, we have been without high definition for the first time since we left Oregon. Other than that, the new antenna has worked perfectly, a huge improvement over the King Dumb we had before. Today, we check into an RV park for a few days, and that will give us time to do some exploring in the jeep.
