Another gorgeous day, perfect for hiking! We drove to Point Wolfe, even taking Tergel through a covered bridge! The trail then took us down to the water. Operative word here: Down. When we got there, the tide was just beginning to enter a cut, and when the Fundy tide comes in, it wastes no time!
In the space of a half hour, we watched the rising Bay of Fundy water completely cover the spit of land we'd been standing on. Check out the photos above and below of Jimmy by the driftwood! Only a few minutes elapsed between the top and bottom photos.
We hiked back UP to our RV, after which we decided to trek to the old Coppermine (4.4 km), one more beautiful trail ... straight up. At the coppermine, we climbed to the top of the tailings pile, without thinking about how we'd get down, besides sliding on our butts! At the top we saw a rusted steam boiler and a deep cave. We found a different way off the tailings pile and then came the trek back DOWN to our RV. A PBnJ sandwich on the trail energized us. We made one more stop on the way back to camp at Dickson Falls and opted for the shorter of two trails, which also involved: STAIRS. The falls was lovely, but our feet said it was time to head for camp.
We bought a mousetrap on our way home yesterday and set it tonite. A loud SNAP at around 2:30 AM told us we'd dispatched a dinky (but noisy) big-eared deer mouse. Maybe tomorrow we'll sleep w/o interruption....
