Upon retirement we decided to take a trip across Canada. We left on Sept. 1 and returned home to Salmon Arm on Oct. 2. We drove 17,438 km and camped for 11 of the 31 nights. We managed to visit all 10 Canadian Provinces catching the end of Hurricane Earl in Bonavista, NL and “escaping” hours before Hurricane Fiona arrived in PEI. Due to Ferry troubles we ended up in Newfoundland for 9 days (instead of the planned 5 days) and managed to catch Covid as we were leaving NL. Here are just a few of the MANY pictures we took on the trip.
