Fundy Trail Parkway

more stairs today

 

beach

along the ground

the falls

great view

colourful insect moving along

wild roses were everywhere

This was the first part of the trail leading down to the flower pots, Kate came along today and
enjoyed the trail as much as we did.  St Martins has certainly grown a lot since we have been there
and today the town was buzzing as it was old home week.

The falls

 

 

These were the stairs leading to the falls and I climbed them without a problem but with a few stops along the way.lol  They were actually pieces of wood that moved as you stepped on it. lol

The falls were so pretty and just wished we could have stood under them.

interpretive center

lots of historic photos of the community of big salmon river.  The also showed a film of the area of
the wood mill etc.... The moose in picture  is called Mitch after Mitch Franklin who had the dream to see this project through years ago.  My parents both worked for Mitch Franklin and Malcolm's great aunt dated him years ago. (He could have been a relative). lol

Suspension Bridge

 

 

It was 84 m and we had to cross over it.  A max of 10 people at a time.  of course Malcolm

got it shaking a bit as we crossed.  One lady had to carry her good size dog over.  You see

another dog very anxious to hit the water by the bridge and he enjoyed a great swim.  kids also were

taking advantage of a swimming hole.

 

 

The beach

 

Reminded me of the Alma beach where there was always a log to sit on and look out at the tides coming in and out , I used to find it so peaceful sitting down there and thinking or writing as many people did.  Lots of people were on this beach walking about. 

A great way to spend the day......

Fundy Park and Alma

 

See the zip liners, one person stopped the operator  when to get them.

many stairs

The red chair for Pat

A great day in Fundy Park to celebrate Susan's 46th birthday.  We walked 2 trails, Dickson Falls and Herring cove beach. Lots of stairs to climb but I did it and was not to far behind them all the way. lol

Went around the park, lots of people around on a lovely summer day, many doing the trails. Found a
lot more restaurants have opened since we had the cottage in Alma which I still miss in summer but
many of the people we know have left the area but a few remain.

Of course we stopped at Kelly's bake shop for sticky buns and yes I did indulge with 1 and it was
delicious.  Ate at a little café which was once the liquor store, than a lobster pound and now a cute
café with outdoor seating looking out onto wharf but a little on the pricey side.

On our way home we took the other route leaving Alma and headed for Cape Enrage , now as I remember it we drove up , parked and walked to light house, looked over the patio to the rocks and beach and now they have added zip lining to the adventure of course at a nice price which we didn't even check out but to park there was 20.00 for family. A little steep I would say and 15.00 to enter Fundy Park which has a lot more to see and do.  But you pay it or keep driving. lol 

Last but not least we watched for the shoe tree.  Here it is but with leaves on the tree hard to see the shoes but they are there and many shoes are on the ground around it.  The shoes use to hang from another tree with no leaves on it, a storm destroyed the tree last year but they picked another tree in the area for the shoes. Last but not least the haha cemetery....been around a long time.

It was a great day..
