Over many
thousands of years the tides have created these formations on the coastal
rocks. This area known as the Hopewell
Rocks is located in the Rocks Provincial Park in New Brunswick. You can only walk on the beach to see these
amazing structures during low tide when the water recedes over 100 yards.
If you look to the left, you see how high the tide can get
We
drove out to see a light station at Cape Enrage. It was a twisty windy road, about 15
kilometers, but we made it, glad we were driving our car (the towed) and not
the coach.

We drove
through a portion of the Fundi National Park to find Dickson Falls, a
delightful little stream that seemed to have falls after falls after falls
ending up in the Bay of Fundi.

When
we left Fundi National park, we drove into the little town of Alma, where Jerry
noticed the boats were not in water, but were shored up on stands and resting
on the bottom of the harbor. The water
was at low tide so the boats had to be setup so they didn’t topple.
Leaving
Canada, back to Maine
After leaving
the turning leaves in Canada we wanted to spend a little more time in Maine,
near Acadia National Park, now one of our favorite spots. While there we drove to Bucksport, ME to see Fort
Knox. To get there we crossed this lovely suspension bridge. The Penobscot Narrows Observatory Bridge has the
world’s tallest bridge observatory. I
stayed behind while Jerry and some friends, Don and Menika, took the elevator
to the top. They thought there were
wonderful views.

That’s
covers our travels this year. We are now
back in Texas and the blog will be quiet for a while. Our plans are to winter here, splitting our
time between the San Antonio area and far south Texas along the Rio Grande when
the weather turns colder. Safe travels
and happy trails to all.
