The Tidal Bore-Truro

Today we said "Goodbye" to Canada and started heading for the US Border. Since we missed the tidal bore in Windsor, we decided to drive the motorhome to Truro and see if we could catch it there. Found the visitors center in Truro closed but there were painters there and they gave us a map and told us where to go to see the tidal bore. Found the spot and we encircled the only motel there to park until the waters arrived.

Several other people were there and more arrived later. It was a bit chilly but we all talked as we waited and it made the time go by faster. Finally it arrived without much fan fare.

We headed for the US and crossed the border at St. Stephens/Calais. There was a little traffic jam in that small town but once we made it to the customs area the lady inspector boarded the motorhome, checked the toilet area (for stow-a-ways), our refrigerator for Canadian meat and asked a few questions, we were on our way. Ended up in Bangor, Maine for a few nights.
