Leaving Weaverville, Arriving In Connecticut

We left Weaverville Thursday, June 29, and we are currently in Hartford, Connecticut. We are staying in Hartford until tomorrow, July 5. Later this week, we plan to take a ferry from Portland, Maine to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. We have done much of our traveling on Interstates 81 and 84. We prefer to travel on back roads, but often the back roads in the northeast congested, and we do not want to take too long getting to Canada. Since this is the July 4th holiday period, the campgrounds have been mostly full; therefore, we have had to stay in motels four out of six nights. We hope that we will be able to camp most nights once we reach Canada.
