Reunion

After weeks of waiting, Big Blue

was returned to service.

We picked up Big Blue from the Cummins shop in Montreal on Thursday, September 1st at 4pm. We then proceeded to navigate the nightmare of Montreal traffic to reach the campground where we stored the camper. By our calculation it took 2 hours to make the 30 minute drive. It was stressful for Jay driving in that traffic, but we suspect that as Jay squeezed the rig between the thousands of road cones that line the never-ending construction zones, that more than a few Quebecer's felt some stress as well...

It was a two-day drive to our cottage and we picked the small town of Woodstock, New Brunswick for our stopping point. To our delight we discovered a small but lovely campground nestled along the St. Johns River with generous turns and pull-through sites. It was a welcome resting point for sure.

Despite Jay's most fervent efforts to arrive at the cottage at 6:00 pm on the nose, he failed and arrived at 6:08 pm. Dave and Peggy forgave him for the tardiness and rewarded us with libations and appetizers. Ahh, it was worth the trip!

The cottage is bustling this morning, suggesting that it's time to conclude the blog for now. We plan to enjoy the month of September up here and return to Tennessee in late October. We will update the blog on Sundays, so check back in.

We hope you all have a great holiday weekend!
