Lower Cape, NB to Glen Margaret, Nova Scotia

We left Ponderosa Pines Campground this morning at 9:15. We stopped at the Nova Scotia Welcome Center to pick up brochures. We stopped for lunch at the intersection of Hwy-104 and Hwy-4. There was a vacant building near the exit with large parking lot and we parked there to make lunch.

Part of Hwy-104 is a toll road and we paid $5.25 at Cobequid Pass Toll Plaza. North of Truro we exited Hwy-104 onto Hwy-103. We stopped at an Esso station in Elmsdale, NS to get gas in the RV. We got 193.784 liters and paid $1.423 Canadian – which translates to 51.207 gallons and $5.385 US.

We then continued west to Wayside RV Park south of Glen Margaret. Wayside RV Park’s address is listed in Halifax, but it is about 17 miles west of Halifax as the crow flies. We got in to the campground around 3 p.m.

From Nova Scotia

We’re in site #4 in a pull-in. Wayside RV Park, or Wayside-Supercity Camping Park, is a Passport America and Good Sam campground. We’re staying here under Passport America. We have full hookups (30 amp). It’s a gravel site and we’re mostly level. We have good water pressure, but here again the 30 amp service has low voltage. We do have a view of Mahone Bay out the front windshield.

From Nova Scotia

We’ll be here 3 nights while we visit Peggy’s Cove and Halifax.
