Well My wife, Kim, and I decided that we needed to get away for the weekend. we decided to go and see the world famus Hopewell Rocks in Cape Hope New Brunswick Canada 200 Km (125 miles) from my home in Fredericton New Brunswick. I wanted to stay at Fundy National park but we decided to take this trip to late and the park was full for the weekend. I called around and found a comerical campground that had vacanies and made a reservation for Saturday Sunday and Monday. We got loaded up and headed out. did not make it out the driveway. There is a sharp transition at the end of our drive and I dragged the stabilizer and bent it on the left rear. I have been trying to get Axle Risers installed but the local dealer has not had any luck getting Forest River to get back to him with a price. I removed the broken stabilizer and kept on going.
 
The rest of the trip was great the Jeep Liberty towed the trailer fine and we got to the park and got set up. We are staying at the Pondarosa Pines Campground which I would give about 3 stars. I has WiFi and is really clean but but the full service sites are a little tight to each other. I will never understand why campgrounds pack in the full service sites like sardines but the tent and unserviced sites are well spaced out. We relaxed on Saturday night.
and today we went to Hopewell Rocks.  The Hopewell Rocks are Flowpot rock formations caused by tidal errosion over thousands of years on the Bay of Fundy which has some of the hightest tides in the world. The Archway in the second picture is almost completly under water at high tide.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Well we had a great day and tomorrow we are going to take the scenic route home and catch some of the other local sites. All in all except breaking the stableizer a good first run of the year for the rpod.

We visited New Brunswick and Nova Scocia in our pre-Pod days, camping in a conversion van.  We visited Hopewell Rocks, and stayed at Fundy park as well as some spectacular provincial parks.  It was a wonderful trip, beautiful country and truly wonderful people.  We had lunch on Fathers Day at a restaurant in Digby having wonderful scallops and watching the tide go out and the boats go from floating to sitting on the harbor bottom.  Your pictures make me want to hook up and pull the pod to your part of the world.  I don't see that happening this year, but maybe next year...

Seanl - you can call FR directly to get a price and have them delivered right to you.  They should be about $75 (US).

Yes I know that I can get them for Forest river and I may have to go that route but I did want to support my Local Dealer.

I got the mat from camping world. They had a tent set up at the track in Watkins Glen New York for the NASCAR race a few years ago.
