Monday 16th September 2013 – I’M NOT AT ALL SURE …

… what it was that awoke me thins morning but it was big and brushed past the side of the van while I was asleep. Of course no-one sleeps after anything like that.

You can’t see the bench that is allocated to each camping spec, and neither can you see the old truck wheels that are used as bases for open camp fires but I didn’t use either of them due to the weather (and it was even raining again this morning)

Once things were all organised I set off to Fredericton to pick up my new bass amp (silly me) and then spent the afternoon driving along the north bank of the Saint John River, a river that has of course featured in songs by such artists as Man and Led Zeppelin in the song “Babe I’m Going To Leave You”.

And by the time I got to Phoen … errr … the edge of Moncton and the big Irvings truckstop where I planned to stay the night, the sun was actually out, peeking under the edges of the cloud as it descended below the horizon

Of course, it won’t last
