Day 4 – Miramichi, NB to Bathurst, NB

March 4, 2020 by safetyblog2010

The rains in Miramichi finally ended and changed to snow at noon, we had to take a direct route to Bathurst… we leave for Campbellton, NB in the morning…

Don, Don he’s our man, If he can’t make sure nobody gets left behind, no one can… He’s the sweeper!

Got into Bathurst at 4:30, fortunately the rain turned into snow as we headed north from Miramichi, NB. We leave for Campbellton, NB in the morning…

short video at Lunch, notice Moose in background

Unfortunately, the support truck broke down and crawled into Doaktown, NB where we were having lunch. They had to get a flat bed tow truck to load the Dodge and pull the support trailer to Miramichi, NB to get fixed

Santa’s brother “Carl” playing and cleaning floor mats from their support sleigh in a puddle along side the road…

At each break (we stop about once an hour) little snowmen magically appeared today

Hotel in Sherman, ME in the early morning

Canadian Customs at Woodstock, NB… Border crossing was a real challenge, after clearing Canadian Customs, we had to go back on the same trail we arrived from the US and take a trail directly to Canada. Note we are now on Atlantic time zone

Everyone made it safely to Fredericton, NB tonight…

We get asked a lot about our flags, we use it as a conversation starter about our charity, its our brand and not only safer, but help us quickly locate each other in a busy area.
