DAY 40 - EDMUNDSTON TO KEDGWICK

Same time zone and another province behind him.  Dad arrived in Edmundston last evening.    He is on home territory as he has trucked NB for over 20 years.  THANK YOU  Russel Metals Edmundston for hosting dad.  I received an email this morning with pictures of dad last evening spending time and enjoying a wonderful meal with employees of Russel Metals that dad has not seen in 15 or so years.  I spoke with dad last evening when he arrived at the hotel.  He knew he was to give Luc a call and maybe get together for a bite to eat.  I am assuming that this was a big surprise for dad.  The email mentioned a good time was had by all.

Today he is heading to Kedgwick.  He is actually planning on going to Robinsonville to spend the night with friends that he has not seen in 15 years.  He has a long ride ahead of him today as Edmundston to kedgwick is approximately 125km and then another 20km to Robinsonville.  This will give him a shorter day tomorrow so that he can spend a little extra time in Robinsonville tomorrow morning.

He is in Northern New Brunswick and the hills are back and the shoulders are narrow.  Rumor has it that the 17 has been improved since dad last travelled on this road, but he is expecting some hills today.
