Included is a detailed plan for a province wide trip that John D has put together and is proposing for mid June. We'll have more time to discuss the finalized details over the next few months.This is a trip John is going to do as a celebration of a major milestone birthday for himself. He is inviting all of us to join him on this wonderful tour. As we all know, John's trips are always well planned, well executed, always have a wonderful flair for beautiful and natural scenery and of course always have great places to eat and stay. This trip pays particular focus on the Acadian Peninsula, Fundy Parkway Trail and finally the Fundy coast line from Saint John to St Andrews. This will truly be a panoramic tour of our beautiful province with emphasis on our beautiful seacoasts. For those who prefer to do only a portion of the trip you might consider meeting up with John at one of the 3 overnight locations listed in the included itinerary. That way you can join the tour from that point.
Everyone will be on their own to book their hotel reservations once John has finalized these.

Looks very interesting.
Is it possible to post a map?
JOHN,
ON DAY 2, DO YOU PLAN TO TRAVEL FROM DALHOUSIE, AROUND THE ACADIAN PENINSULA TO SHIPPEGAN, AND THEN ON TO ALMA, ALL IN ONE DAY?
Yes.
It's about a four hour drive.
Lots of time to make suggestions and discuss at meetings.
