Off our bikes. June 18 and 19

 Sunday, June 18 was cold, rainy, and very windy, and our route included more than 20 miles on unpaved roads and trails.  We loaded up our bikes and rode in the van to Moncton.  Monday, June 19, was a planned day off, so we once again drove to some scenic spots not easily accessible by bike.  Nancy does a fantastic job of making sure we get to interesting places.


We visited Hopewell Rocks on the Petitcodiac River, which flows into the Bay of Fundy.  At low tide, you can walk down among rock formations carved out by erosion and the impact of 45 foot tides.  The beach is closed 1 1/2 hours before high tide to keep everyone safe.

It does not feel like the first day of summer is the day after tomorrow. 

What are Cindy and Margaret S. looking at?

Rock pigeons on the rocks just on the other side of the fence. 

We went looking for a waterfall, but the overlook overlooked the falls—completely.  We did have a lovely, misty view that felt like West Virginia.

Fishing boats in a harbor in the small town of Alma. 

I have trouble not taking pictures of water and rocks.  The rocky beaches were difficult to walk on but worth the effort.
