July 14, 2016 Fundy Trail drive

Todays adventure was the Fundy Trail drive, which is an out-and-back road along the Bay of Fundy.  There were plenty of overlooks, and midway was the Big Salmon River Interpretive Center.  In the late 1800s and well into the mid-1950s, Big Salmon River was a flourishing logging, fishing and shipbuilding community.  Not much left now, though.

Our first stop was Fuller Falls, which were quite nice but not too big.  The cable stairs were rather interesting, though....  Needless to say I was watching my step carefully going up and down!




Great view of Pangburn Beach, accessible only at low tide.
All picnic lunches come with starving critters....

The suspension bridge was sturdy and practical, not very scary at all.
The road bridge and the suspension walking bridge. 
Big Salmon River;  I love to sit and listen to the water making its way over the rocks.
At the end of the parkway was Long Beach.  Wonderful at low tide!!!

Long Beach.
You betcha!  I waded the beach from one end to the other, enjoying every minute.
The water wasn't very cold in the shallows, but it got cold fast if I went past ankle-deep.

July 13, 2016 St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada

After leaving Maine, we headed into Canada and the Bay of Fundy.  We love this part of Canada and this time, we stayed in the picturesque town of St. Martins.  Small and beautiful!  Our campground was right on the Bay so we had a ringside seat for the water UP and the water DOWN.  Around the bend from our campground were some sea caves, which we examined.  Here you go:

Our newest flag:  half America, half Canada.  Since we are so fond of Canada, it seemed perfect!
Still working on a way to display this flag. 
The sea caves at low tide.
These caves were not small!


Covered bridge at St. Martins Harbor - at almost high tide.  Notice the boat is floating.
Same scene, at low tide.....
Perfect!  Covered bridge and a huge pile of lobster trap buoys.
Sea caves in the background.

The wild roses are just gorgeous...

Fog rolling in right in front of our camper.
