Our hiking shoes have definitely been broken in, but it's time to leave the chattering red squirrels, bunnies, chipmonks, Boreal chickadees and Juncos of this fine campground and continue west. Besides, our feet and knees need a rest! We don't know our destination yet, but we're moving toward St Stephen, near the New Brunswick/Maine border.
Beggars!
At the RV yesterday, we spied the Shiphaven Trail, an alleged 1 km trail which seemed much longer because it involved many stairs, but off we went anyway. We ended up at the covered bridge and the remains of an 1881 logging outfit that threw sawdust into the river which killed off the salmon. Not good. Quite interesting, tho, for the views across the mouth of the Point Wolfe River and the bay as well as the old sawmill days.
What am I doing in that tree?
On our way, we traveled thru a wide lush valley, alive with autumn color, stopping in Saint John. With our limited time, we managed to visit their City Market, Saint John Stone Church, and the 1904 Carnegie Free Public Library - now an arts center. (We've seen several Carnegie libraries on this trip; they're easy to spot because they were well-crafted.) After lunch at Reggie's, we hit the road again.
St Stephen in New Brunswick, near the Maine border, boasts Ganong's Chocolate Museum and store; obviously we had to stop there first. With the museum tour, samples of fine chocolates on large silver trays were offered in each room ... how amazing! Eat till you burst - so we did! Hah, we were so full that we skipped the store altogether!
We doubled back to a CG on the Bay of Fundy shore in St Andrews, NB - another gem find for us. Plus they offer wifi. The good news is: We have to go back thru St Stephen (think chocolates!) on our way out of Canada ....
