On the Rocks

We got up early and drove up the Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park. The tide was out when we got there, so we took the trail and stairs down (about 100 stairs) to the shoreline to walk among the rocks on the muddy, rocky shore. Les took lots of digital photos while Jill drew a picture of an arch rock. People were everywhere. As the tide began to rise, a ranger began herding everyone toward the stairway up to the trail. The tide change here varies from 33 to 45 FEET. So at high tide you can see the rocks from the overlook platforms or kayak in among the rocks. As we were heading back to the jeep, we got a text from Brenda and Paul, friends from Lake Tahoe that have also been touring the northeast and Canada too. “We can see your Jeep!” They had driven from Nova Scotia and had reserved a campsite close to ours. We have been in contact with them for the last several weeks, wondering where we might meet up. So they visited the Hopewell Rocks at high tide. We met up for dinner at The Octopus’s Garden Cafe and Bistro in Alma NB.もっと詳しく
