How did I get this picture on the Confed Bridge?

Cavendish, Canada

So, no one gets to stop and take a picture on Confederation Bridge. Today I did. But not for a good reason. One kilometre onto the bridge my trailer hitch came off the ball on the SUV. I don’t know for sure why, but everyone who has an opinion, and there are plenty, thinks I must not have seated the hitch properly on the ball when I hitched up this morning. And I have to admit it’s the only explanation. I’m incredibly lucky tonight to be snug in my trailer with only very minor damage to both the trailer and the SUV and major rattled nerves. It could have been disastrous. There was no one coming in the other direction and the fellow behind me (who I think was more frightened than I was, well, no, that’s not possible) was far enough behind he could slow down and watch the show. I won’t go into details tonight because I’m just too darn tired. When I decided to do this trip I wanted to put myself out of my comfort zone. Well, I’ve done that in spades and if I had to make a decision tonight, I’d drive the trailer into an RV lot and move into whatever the Fairmont is in Charlottetown. Since I don’t have to make that decision tonight since I’m parked at the Cavendish KOA (who have been unbelievably helpful, BTW), I’ll spend the 10 days here that I planned to and then decide if I can get back on the horse and ride it home to get ready for my bigger adventure to come. Thankful for a whole bunch of things tonight.
