Stop 31 Antigonish Part II

We came back over on the ferry from NL and drove about 2.5 hours back to the campground in Antigonish.  It was like a different place from our first stay.  We could barely get in our spot.   The park was filled from visitors to the annual highland games.  It was quite the spectacle.

Today the trip changes for a few days.  It's a long way to Portal Arizona and our Peace Corps reunion.  For the next 3-4 days we just need to put in some miles.  So we have plans to put in multiple 500 mile days to get west of the population centers of Canada.  It'll be a grind, but the hope is to allow us some time to enjoy our favorite western regions for a few days each stop once we re-enter the US.
