June 23rd, 2025

HOT!  Temps here were in the 90's with little cool-off at night.  Our campsite near Gorham, NH (Moose Brook State Park) was fine, but it was so hot, we opted for no fire and no outdoor dining.  Instead we watched Netflix and enjoyed the air-conditioning!  It was even too hot to take a picture!

We stayed at Peak-Kenny State Park in Maine.  This was a beautiful wooded campground and a bit cooler than last night.  To me, even the mosquitoes seemed sluggish, although I am rarely bitten.  Ron, however, is a mosquito magnet!  We enjoyed a fire and then retired to the AC!

June 25, /2025

Our border crossing into Canada seemed to be more thorough than some of our previous crossings.  Passports were collected, questions were asked about the amount of alcohol and tobacco on board, guns, pets, fresh fruits and vegetables, why we had Ohio temporary plates since our residence was in Florida.  Then the customs agent went back to the building and further reviewed whether we were a threat to Canada.  We checked out OK and off we went.

  We seldom make reservations for a campground, and that worked well for us today.  Our plan was show up at Mactaquac Provincial Park in New Brunswick, Canada.  It was on the opposite side of the river as we traveled north.  Without any previous signs, we arrived at the bridge and it was blocked off by barricades.  Other vehicles were as confused as we were. 

So the alternate plan tonight is Wal-Mart in Fredericton.  Temps are supposed to take a big drop tonight.  By 6am tomorrow it will be 49 degrees.  What a switch.  We will be digging out the winter clothes!!  YAY!!
