Monday August 15, 2016 Departing Touchstone to Woodstock, NB

Mt. Katahdin from an I95 overlook

Our mascot Katahdin!

Today was our day one on our Newfoundland trip, and we departed Touchstone around 9:45am enroute to Hampden. Lois and Charlie Weeks (Becky’s brother and sister-in-law) greeted us with a terrific lunch, featuring fresh crab rolls, brownies and chocolate chip cookies.  After some great conversation and hearing more about their new RV that they’re getting this Friday, we were dispatched with a good supply of desserts.  It was a pretty boring ride on the Maine Turnpike to Houlton, unless of course you like to look at unremitting evergreens!  Our mascot Katahdin is on the trip, and a scenic overlook provided the backdrop for his photograph in front of his namesake Mountain.

 After a quick trip through Canadian Customs, we arrived at the Yogi Bear Campground in Woodstock around 4:30.  Great place if you have kids, lousy for transient campers!  Basic open sites on gravel, no internet, and their advertised cable TV only works if you’re in a rented cabin!  Spent the evening reading and listening to music.
