06 PART II - CANADA

We will now be spending the next month in Canada.  We will quickly pass through Ontario spending two nights there.  We will not be exploring any of this Province.  We will spend some time visiting Montreal and Quebec City in Quebec.

Then we will explore New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia; places we have never been to.  From Nova Scotia we will backtrack through New Brunswick and from there drive south into Maine and back into the US.
PART I – NORTHERN USA
We have completed PART I of our trip; crossing the northern part of the US from California through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin,  and Michigan. 

We have been traveling for 43 days and have driven a total of 7,107miles; 4,480 miles pulling the trailer and an additional 2,627 miles with just the Ford.

We searched for wood quilt patches on historic barns in Oregon, saw a light show on Grand Coulee Dam in Washington, followed parts of the Lewis and Clark trail in Montana and North Dakota, visited the Mississippi Headwaters  where the Mississippi River starts and the only place you can walk across the Mississippi.  We went shopping at Mall America in Minnesota; the largest mall in the US.  Saw the shores of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron of the Great Lakes.  We took a boat ride through the Dells in Wisconsin and drank cherry wine in Door County, Wisconsin.  We drove over the third longest suspension bridge in the world in Michigan and saw where Mackanic Fudge was made famous, also in Michigan.
