JUNE 30

This morning we watched as the tide hit its low and reverse again to rise towards high, a never ending cycle of flowing water. There is 100 billion tons of water flowing through the river mouth at the turning of the tide (They didn't tell us who weighted it.) Again we were fascinated by the sheer majestic of it.
We left Saint John and drove southeast towards St. Martins along the Fundy coast, we visited some caves that are only accessible at low tide and saw fishing boats laying on their side in the mud of low tide. We left and then drove along the Bay of Fundy Trail stopping at numerous lookouts each with its own spectacular view. The road goes from water level in some spots to bluffs that are 375 feet above the water. There are hiking and bike trails throughout the area as well.
We stopped at a spot where there had been a active logging and pulp operation from 1870's to 1960's The old original wooden piers and docks are still intact and visible at low tide.
We returned to the area of the caves and fishing boats and the caves are mostly under water and the fishing boats are floating on the tide, neatly tied up at the docks. The fishing boats can only leave and return at high tide.
Late afternoon we cut across country on a secondary road that had grades up to 15 degrees and so twisty-turns that it was impossible to go over45 mph. It was mostly forest and bush land sprinkled with a few farms here and there.
Now in Hopewell Rock area and will spend a couple days here and visit the rocks tomorrow.
Just wondering if anyone is reading this, if you are just let us know be a comment or two.. Thanks
