Oct 17, 2009 - New Bruswick to Maine, and back again, and back again ...
We spent a little while this morning seeing a couple of highlights in Saint John - the old defensive hill (which did have a good view of the city but not much else) and the Reversing Falls. ... The tide was quite high, so the chocolate-brown water was certainly flowing up over the cascades.We spent a little while this morning seeing a couple of highlights in Saint John - the old defensive hill (which did have a good view of the city but not much else) and the Reversing Falls. ...

Jump to full entrySep 30, 2009 - Maggie gets her revenge
This time, not being under time constraints, I set Maggie (the GPS) to find our way to Hampton, New Brunswick with “least use of highways”. ... However, Maggie was still insisting that the muddy, rocky, pond-filled trench in front of us would actually take us by the shortest distance to Hampton. ... I asked him if we could get through to Hampton on the road we were pointing down. ... He looked very amused, but said “Sure, it’s a straight shot into Hampton down there. ... Every now and then, huge ponds filled the “road” from one side to the other and the great unknown was “How deep is it?” We crawled along this THING for almost 16 kilometres and I was just starting to fantasize about Ku Klux Klanners who send innocent tourists down impossible dead-end lanes where they will eventually become stuck and, later that night, the “gang” descends upon their unsuspecting victims and pick them clean when, suddenly, the lumpy, muddy, rocky road became a “smoother” dirt track and, after another a few kilometres, we found ourselves coming in the back door of the town of Hampton. ...

Sep 25, 2009 - Tides and Magnets in New Brunswick
From Quebec City, we drove around the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, with the highlight of this rainy drive being the big rock at Pearce (see photos). From here it was down through New Brunswick to the city of Moncton where we experienced the main tourist attraction- the ‘Magnetic Hill’ where cars accelerate uphill in neutral (it just looks like a puddly piece of road but is neat to see in real life). ... The other cool thing we saw in New Brunswick was the Bay of Fundy where the highest tides in the world (10-15 m) are visible.From Quebec City, we drove around the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, with the highlight of this rainy drive being the big rock at Pearce (see photos).
