Other than a 7 hour wait at Heathrow, our return flight was uneventful. Russ and Shirley picked us up at the airport and took us back to our RV, which was stored at Susan and Windsor’s place. After spending a couple of nights at Tom and Julie’s, we celebrated Father’s Day early with my family. We headed to York and camped out in Linda and Rick’s driveway. The next day we followed them to Hills Creek State Park, for the Annual Potter Family Camping Trip. Most of the family attended, camping in the rain and mud. In between showers we managed to see a parade and craft fair in Wellsboro, PA.
After the family returned home, Pat and I started our trip to Newfoundland. We took the scenic route through the Adirondacks, where we saw a cow moose and her newborn. A few days later we were in New Brunswick. We took the ferry to Grand Manan Island, but we didn’t know the island stays fogged in most of the summer. September apparently is the best time to visit. From Fundy NP we saw the “flower pots” rock formations carved by the famous huge tides.
