KENNETCOOK- A festival-reenactments, antique tractors and live music from 3:00-1:00am. This Captain was a lively
fellow with lots to tell us. Here they call themselves Loyalists because they were loyal to the British Crown during the
Revolutionary War.
NOEL-To all you SKP’s out there this is Gloria (and her rescued dog Bear) she invites us Escapee’s to stay on
her property. She was very gracious and helpful with information on NS. Thanks Gloria!
WALTON-Lighthouse
WINDSOR-This blockhouse is at the Ford Edwards National Monument site. It is the oldest such structure of this type in all of Canada.
GRAND PRE-Jim enjoying his lunch of lobster/mussels/corn on the cob/local strawberries and Canadian beer.
PS. I enjoyed it too!
Grand Pre-The National Historic Site- This is another Acadian deportation site. The story was wonderfully told with
a 3 screen movie.The statue is of Evangeline,from Longfellow’s poem depicting her sorrowful wait for her loved one. The church (not original)
is where the towns men were rounded up under a false pretext then held captive for ten days before being deported.
The stained glass which the photo doesn’t do justice.Is a picture of Acadians being taken on a boat with their loved ones crying on shore.

HALL’S HARBOUR-While driving along HWY 1 reading our brochure’s the name Hall’s Harbour Lobster Pound
piqued our interest. A few miles off the Hwy but so what, that’s why we’re here, to explore. What a great
find! A small harbor with the boats high and dry with the famous Fundy Bay tide out. Always so interesting to
see. The spot was so beautiful we just stayed. A boondocking site with a million dollar view!
