Mega Road Trip to Far-Eastern Canada, July 12

Day 52. July 12, 2014. Saturday. Pocologan, New Brunswick, to somewhere in the USA

Back in the US, back in the US, back in the USA!

We island hopped across southeast New Brunswick (two ferries) visiting Deer Island and Campobello Island. On Deer Island, we ate breakfast at the 45th Parallel Restaurant. Tasty fish and chips. On Campobello Island, we had an interesting visit at the Roosevelt Campobello International Park, the summer home for many years of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and now a joint US-Canadian National Park.

From there, we crossed back into the USA at Lubec, Maine, and then visited Quoddy Head State Park, the eastern-most point in the US. A bit farther south, we visited Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Petit Manan Unit, and walked the 1.5-mile Hollingsworth Trail near sunset. The woods were full of singing Hermit Thrushes.

Driving towards Acadia National Park in the dark, we stopped at a hotel in Ellsworth, Maine, for the night.
