On the Road Again, this time on to Hopewell Cape. Left Saint John about 0830 and headed north on NB1. After about 45 miles we exited and took 114 to Fundy National Park. This park is on the Bay of Fundy. It is mainly a hiking park, with one road thru it. At the water side of the park lies the town of ALMA. This is a quaint little town with cafes and some shopping. We had lunch and visited the local bakery for some great sticky buns and jams.
On to Hopewell Cape and the camp ground. Once set up, we went to the Hopewell Rocks Park. This park allows access to the bottom of the ocean. The tides at Fundy Bay are most extreme, sometimes as much as 50 or 60 feet.
Today the tide was 33 feet. When out, you can walk on the floor of the bay. It is most hard rock and beds of kelp.
Low tide was at 1534, and we walked on the bottom. When the tide comes it, the area we walked on and the stairs we used will be under several feet of water, today 33 feet. It was an interesting area. High tide was at 2115, and the view was totally different, only water.
