If someone is around we always ask first and we try never to park at a church on a Saturday night because they could have early morning church service. We have found that there are lots of churches out on rural roads with no one around. Small communities with little harbours are also a good spot in general, again we always ask first if someone is around to ask.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-3705943537483826342019-07-16T09:26:46.583-04:002019-07-16T09:26:46.583-04:00Hi Ruth, has parking in rural church yards ever be...Hi Ruth, has parking in rural church yards ever been a problem?

Really you have two choices that you could make for the trip back from Halifax to Toronto and that would be either going through Canada or going through the USA and of course both areas will be busy because it is in August. Going through Canada there are some pretty areas to see along the coast in New Brunswick, or doing the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec. Also Quebec City is well worth a stop. In the USA you have Acadia NP in Maine and both New Hampshire and Vermont are beautiful states to visit if you like hiking and the outdoors.<br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-53335147248814628392019-05-22T08:04:23.583-04:002019-05-22T08:04:23.583-04:00Hi,

Are getting a very good deal on a RV so only for that reason would like to make the trip. I have never gone east coast and never traveled in a RV. Any suggestions for me what and where I can travel within 6 to 8 days from Halifax to Toronto.

There are also lots of rural church parking lots that have gorgeous views and were very quiet.<br /><br />It is funny that you said you are a Lucy Maud Montgomery fan because I just finished reading Emily's Quest. :-)<br /><br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-21468243273500507992019-02-07T09:13:26.592-05:002019-02-07T09:13:26.592-05:00I will be ready for Nova Scotia in July 2019.
