Still here medusa?
7:51 am

good morning all
7:52 am
Scrabbler
Hi Nan. You are up early.
7:52 am
Scrabbler
Hi Bichon.
7:52 am
cybernan
jet lag hangover :)
7:52 am
Scrabbler
Where were you?
7:53 am
cybernan
in the maritimes for the last 2 weeks
7:54 am
Scrabbler
Oh, my friend is in Newfoundland right now.
7:54 am
cybernan
we didn't get that far -- parts of NS, NB and PEI
7:55 am
cybernan
lots of great experiences, including our first hurricane
7:55 am
Scrabbler
Dorian came up that way?
7:57 am
cybernan
yes -- we were in Halifax at the time - not in an area that was badly hit, though. The Annapolis Valley was hit hard as was parts of PEI. Lots of areas with no power or water for 3 or 4 days and lots of trees down.
7:57 am
Scrabbler
Oh, dear.
7:59 am
hokie carla
hey y'all. not liking these 55 r's. I have 34 and feel like I've exhausted my guesses.
7:59 am
cybernan
the maritimers are a hardy lot and go out of their way to help in an emergency. We had a great time in spite of soeme of the attractions we had intended to visit being closed.
8:00 am
hokie carla
how strong was it by the time it reached up there?
8:00 am
bichon
We were on PEI when the hurricane warning came. Too bad, was really nice before that. We had to leave for NB. It was no better here so we drove to Maine. No better there, so we drove home
8:00 am
Scrabbler
I would like to get up there some day--drive to Maine and then north.
8:00 am
hokie carla
We went to Acadia in 2016. Beautiful there.
8:01 am
hokie carla
have not been to that part of Canada
8:01 am
cybernan
Cavendish beach was particularly hard hit, Bichon as well as St. Peters
8:01 am
Scrabbler
I was in Acadia NP in Sept 2017 and I cannot wait to return for hiking and kayaking.
8:01 am
hokie carla
We camped at a KOA right on the water. So nice.
8:02 am
bichon
We really loved our trip there.
8:02 am
Scrabbler
We stayed in a B & B in Bar Harbor. That place was so crowded and busy.
8:03 am
cybernan
it is a beautiful part of Canada -- not for city lovers, but great if you love the seashore and rural settings.
8:04 am
hokie carla
Bar Harbor was not super crowded when we were there.
8:05 am
bichon
We ater great lobster
8:05 am
Scrabbler
We arrived on the Friday of Labor Day weekend and it quieted down Monday evening when people departed. Also, those cruise ships drop off 5000 people for the day.
8:06 am
Scrabbler
We mountain biked on the carriage roads. What a treat to not worry about traffic.
8:06 am
hokie carla
Wow, didn't realize cruise ships stop by there. We were there in the middle of summer and I don't remember it being crazy.
8:06 am
cybernan
oh yes -- lobster and fresh scallops -- something we don't get here.
8:07 am
Scrabbler
A waiter at that Irish restaurant told us about the incoming tourist ships.
8:08 am
hokie carla
We rode our bikes on the carriage roads as well. I did find it kind of annoying that they weren't marked that well and we couldn't find a map, so we rode down this big downhill only to come to a trail marked private so then we had to go back up that big hill.
8:08 am
cybernan
cruise ships - a blight on the face of the earth (unless I'm on one) :D
8:09 am
Scrabbler
We had troubles too, because there was a detour which was not well-marked so we went on the road on the east side of Jordan Pond and I thought I would get flattened by a truck.
8:09 am
hokie carla
I think that would be my only complaint about that park
8:10 am
Scrabbler
We got an early start every morning so we could find parking as parking is at a minimum. And we went to the western part of MDI for kayaking one day.
8:12 am
bichon
I remember climbing a very steep hill with hand bars attached in the rock. Son scampered up while the 3 of us barely made it
8:12 am
hokie carla
We didn't ever have trouble with parking
8:13 am
Scrabbler
Beehive Trail has lots of iron bars and ladders. Scary but we did it.
8:13 am
Scrabbler
Which month were you there, carla?
8:14 am
hokie carla
we were there mid-July
8:14 am
Scrabbler
Wow, during the busy season.
8:15 am
hokie carla
yeah, you would think
8:15 am
Scrabbler
126 left and I must get ready for my day. Enjoy the day.
8:16 am
hokie carla
it is a long trip for us, but we stopped at Hershey on the way up which I'd always wanted to do.
8:16 am
