We’ve gone as far east as we’re going on this trip and have made the turn and are headed west. We woke to the wind rattling the camper windows and intermittent rain. Andy got the camper dumped and filled and hitched to the truck in the pouring rain. We had full hook ups so he could do that right at the campsite. Most campsites with full hook ups are crowded and not so nice, this was an exception and a very nice spot. We made a detour to Charlottetown before leaving PEI. We explored the historic district as best we could in the rain and wind then tucked into a pub for lunch.
We stopped at Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park on the way to Fundy. There are interesting cliffs and rock formations but the real draw of this park is the access to the sea floor when the tide is out. One rock is named Elephant Rock, can you spot it in the pictures? We hit it at high tide, so we looked at the rocks and got back on the road.
We cooked a quick dinner of hot dogs and pork and beans after arriving at the Cannontown campground in Fundy National Park. After dinner we headed out to explore in the evening light. At the visitors center they recommend a short hike to Dickson Falls. They made it sound ordinary, it was far from ordinary! The boardwalk followed and crossed the rapids and falls for great viewing.
We drove up toward Laverty Falls in search of moose. We saw a couple dear and a rabbit. We’re beginning to think all those moose crossing signs across New Brunswick are for the tourists. We went as far as Laverty Lake and found the red chairs that are located at picture spots throughout the Canadian National Parks. We ended the evening at the campsite sitting by some candles. (We didn’t have firewood for a fire.). The stars came out. There was a cool breeze keeping the bugs away, so we blew out the candles and watched the Big Dipper, Milky Way, satellites and even a couple falling stars twinkle above us.
