25 August 2013 Moncton to St Leonard

Moncton to Saint Leonard, New Brunswick, was 225 miles of the best highways we've driven in the Maritimes--few bumps and no potholes. We saw mostly forested lands, and the road went through some dramatic rock cuts along the lovely Bear Valley Scenic Drive. Agricultural land (potatoes and corn) showed near the towns and settlements and we caught glimpses of the Bear River and ponds. There were signs that New Brunswick may compete with Prince Edward Island in the potato industry: World Potato Museum; Covered Bridge Potato Chips (World's longest covered bridge in Hartland); Florenceville-Bristol - French Fry Capitol of the World; St. Andre - Potato Country.

We're overnight at the Grande Riviere Campground and didn't even unhitch for the night, only used electricity, had dinner with Jerry and Marge outdoors at the picnic table. No mosquitoes! What a lovely day this was for traveling.

Found a small leak under our sink this morning. A small platform holding our reverse osmosis cartridge came loose, fell down and split a small plastic fitting. Hope we can get this repaired in Jefferson, Ohio, by the same technician who worked on our rig on the way to the Maritimes in May. In the meantime we will catch the drips in a tub and carry on.

Tomorrow we leave New Brunswick and head to Saint Apollinaire, Quebec, for our last day in Canada.
