We almost spent another day at Century Farm Campground - it was a very nice spot close to the beach. But, Nova Scotia beckons. So, we departed at 9:05 (temp 58°).
We took a scenic drive up the Fundy Trail Parkway, sort of like a National Park. However, this park was very clean - almost looked new. And, there were very few people. We had some great views of ocean cliffs. We saw a single Cedar Waxwing; according to our bird book, a single bird is a rare site.
We crossed the Big Salmon River on a suspension bridge. One of the hills in the park had a 16% grade; probably the steepest we've driven Junior.
The highlight of the day was spending almost $15 doing laundry in Sussex. And, still, the towels were slightly damp. The towels haven't been dry since we left New Mexico.
As we traveled the very bad roads of NB, we found a winery that produced rhubarb and blueberry wines. Neither wine really tasted like those fruits (is rhubarb a fruit?), but they were pretty good. We bought more wine. BTW, we did a wine run in Sussex at the provincial liquor store and paid almost twice the price as stores at home.
We arrived at Ponderosa Pines RV park at 4:45pm. It's another nice spot near the beach - we can't see the Bay of Fundy from our windows, but we can hear it. Kind of sounds like interstate traffic. Tomorrow Nova Scotia!
