It rained pretty heavy last night while we were at our last campground near Fredericton, NB and remained very overcast and foggy during the earlier hours of our travel today.
This weather pretty much spoiled our plans for visiting Fundy National Park. However, we did drive through the park and I snapped two images of Bennett Lake. For information about the park see the website at: http://www.greatcanadianparks.com/nbrunswick/fundynp/index.htm
After leaving the park the weather started to clear some as we entered the village of Alma. Originally a village dedicated to ship building and lumber export Alma now hosts local fishermen who fish lobster and scallops, and the many tourists who visit each year.
Not to far from Alma is the Hopewell Rocks. The Hopewell Rocks, also called the Flowerpot Rocks or simply The Rocks, are rock formations caused by tidal erosion and due to the extreme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy, the base of the rock formations are covered in water twice a day.
To see more about Hopewell Rocks see the website: http://www.thehopewellrocks.ca/English/index.htm
Our campground tonight is a Ponderosa Pines Park. It is located about 1 mile from Hopewell Rocks and we will be visiting the rocks again early tomorrow morning at low tide.
Enjoy The Bay of Fundy... I'll cross my fingers for good weather. PS: Great photos of the two of you.
