Sun Aug 10th - Move sites and truck leak!

Sun Aug 10th - Move sites and truck leak!
We hitched up and moved to our site for the next 5 nights (site 72).. very nice. We did however notice that there was an inordinate amount of water coming from the front of the truck. At first we thought it might be from the air-conditioning. After setting up and sitting outside with a coffee on our wooden deck!!!, Derek checked and noticed that the coolant level was down... he filled it and it took quite a few litres, so we knew we may have more of a problem than we thought. We decided not to leave the campground today in case there was a major issue with the truck, and so spent most of the day reading, walking around the campground and generally relaxing. We wandered down to the shore at about 10pm after a fabulous pork chop meal (chops from New Brunswick farm). We were told by a guy camping nearby that there was supposed to be a meteor shower (an annual event here). But after about an hour sipping our beers in the dark on the beach we gave up (turns out it does not happen until Aug 12th). We researched GM dealers to take the truck to tomorrow. Sad to give up a day in this heavenly place to go get the truck looked at.. but such are the hazards of this lifestyle.
No Photos today... !!!!!
