Never a Wrong Turn (Ever): Back through New Brunswick

We crossed into New Brunswick intending to head south along the Atlantic Coast. We stopped at the same lucky Casino, but this time we gave back $20. But we are still $150 ahead. We left, thinking we were heading south, but soon discovering we were heading north instead. No wrong turns, so we camped in Shediac, New Brunswick, by the beach. The next morning we drove south, to Fundy National Park where we had intended to go the day before. We learned later that while we were camped in Shediac, someone stole some sewer pipe and the center pieces to our hub caps during the night. We have been so trusting on this journey and I would hate to lose our faith in other campers. Making new friends is half the fun. But I am feeling more leery about leaving our possessions unguarded.

We stopped at “The Rocks” which is a park on the ocean that boasts having the highest tides in North America. When the tide is out, you can walk on the “ocean floor” between tall spire type rocks. We arrived at high tide and I asked the young man collecting entrance fees what you could see at high tide. He said, “well, you can see that the tops of the rocks look like they are floating in the water”. I have to give him credit for trying to make it sound exciting. We opted not to pay the $20 and go on to Fundy.

Fundy has a pretty campground with several maple trees. Many of them had started to change color and I was mesmerized. Such intense colors! We took a four mile walk down to the beach and through the woods. From the beach we could see Nova Scotia. We found two apple trees and picked some apples that made wonderful apple pie and apple sauce though I am sure that we looked a little amusing with our pockets stuffed with apples. The weather was clear, warmish and pleasant.
