Remnants of a tropical storm move in this morning with rain. The forecast is for rain over the next 18 hours so we decide to push south. Wishing to witness The Bay of Fundy’s tidal bore we reach out to the woman that gave us the scoop on the sandpipers there. She says the best place to see the tidal bore is in downtown Moncton along the river front. We set our sights for Moncton.
The Park RV dump station is out to pavement plus another ten miles up the road. The water at this campground is not potable but is obtainable it near the dump station. It’s along our path to Moncton so we dump and load up with fresh water. On to Moncton or rather On to Moncton in the rain.
As the reader can determine we are not micro planners. We plan for the big picture. For example, this trip only had general plans. We wish to travel the Trans Labrador Highway; Explore Newfoundland; See Puffins and Northern Gannets; and Explore other areas of Atlantic Canada. There are few premediated specific plans and we go where the flow brings us. In our travels we encounter the spectrum of travelers from ones with no specific plans to ones that plan out where they are and what they will do each day. The disadvantage of our travel style is we don’t know where we are staying each night. What campground has vacancy? Normally this is not a problem except in two situations. First, in the highly touristed areas finding a campground can be difficult and second on holiday weekends when everybody is camping. The weekend is a holiday weekend so we are a bit uneasy on where we can find accommodations. We locate a campground just outside of Moncton that has room for us for one night and we take it. They tell us they might have another space for tomorrow night but will not know until the morning. We’ll find out then.
