He he he... men, you don't have any idea how close we could have met
again!!! Good storry!!!
It was my plan to go there this weekend, but i ended up in New Brunswick
(weather wise), just south of where you are and of course, i had to end up
in PEI.

So that is... 1677 miles in 5 days, ha ha ha, me CraSy! We had a blast me
and Sylvia FOR THE FIRST TIME ALONE this year, yea, a real Westy short road
trip in my Red Tornado Subaru powered van, the first one... YESSSSSSSSSSS,
men i'm sold for life to that engine!!!!  Yea,EX: if you have 600km
(372miles) to go at 122 kmh (3821rpm OBD2 check) (75mph GPS), it's 6 hours
and not 7 or 8. Only today, we left this late morning the Fundy National
park and i was home at 7:30pm, that is about 625 miles.

Top cruising speed was around 93mph, average was 72mph, some cool running at
65mph, fuel... well, all i know is that i did between 260-300 miles on 1
tank, about the same as a 2.1L in good shape or better. But remember,
average speed was 72mph (GPS)

The funny thing is we did 3 National park in 4 night, Kouchibouguak in NB,
Prince Edward National Park in Cavendish and the Fundy National Park in NB..

Damn, Canada can be nice!!!!!! Ho Canadaaaaaaaaa....

Good Fourth of July to you guys!

A lot of pictures to come.
