The trailer has been sitting in the side year for more than a year looking sad and wishing it could go somewhere. Finally we gave in, readied the trailer for a trip and we’re off on an adventure. This is going to be a short trip for us --- somewhere between 14 and 18 days. Our destination is New Brunswick. This is a province we have driven thru several times but for a number of reasons didn’t take the time to check it out.

Today we leave home … Ed hesitating a little because he wasn’t sure he wanted to drive thru Toronto on the Friday of a long weekend. There were several slow downs due to merging traffic and of course the ever present construction. We also saw one car pulled onto the side of the highway with a flat tire ---- it’s amazing how much that can slow traffic down.

Tonight’s stop is at the home of friends. We met Deb and Luc many years ago when we played tennis in Carlisle. Last year they moved from Waterdown to Johnstown. The local campground was full so we parked in their driveway.

Johnstown is a small town about 8 km east of Prescott. The easiest way to find it on the map is to look for a bridge crossing the river to the US. If it highway 16 in Canada and Highway 812 in the US you’ve found Johnstown.
