Day 2 - Hartland Bridge

It rained through the night and continued to be a foggy, drizzly day, with a few showers. Today we left the KOA at 10 and arrived at River Country Campground in Clearwater, NB at 3:40 EST/4:40 AT. We were disappointed that the GPS didn't seem to recognize the time zone change...will have to figure that one out tomorrow. Along the way we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Quebec farms, the hills that seemed to pop out of nowhere, and the expanse of the St. Lawrence River. After supper we headed out to see the World's Longest Covered Bridge in Hartland. We enjoyed a walk across it (just a little freaky...especially when Brent kept saying “I really hope they've checked out these boards recently. Wouldn't want to fall through. That would cost us $170 for new glasses for me and $200 for new glasses for you.” THAT was the worst of MY fears :-P )

River County is a lovely little campsite right along the river. Unfortunately we haven't explored it much because it's wet and icky out. We treated the kids to a new DVD and popcorn after our little excursion. I had bought them the Beverly Hillbillies! 40 episodes. They sure don't make TV shows like they used to. Wonder if we'll find a cee-ment pond on our adventures!
