Another great night of sleeping in this quiet national park campground. After filling up another propane tank we head northward with a goal of Amherst, Nova Scotia where we are meeting up wit our friends from Vermont. Once together we’ll travel for a couple of weeks before they head home.
On the way to Nova Scotia we met up with Sybil and Pete, where we enjoyed a fun time catching up. They live overlooking a huge wetland system that experiences the Bay of Fundy tidal changes each day. Tides in the part of the Bay can well exceed 50 feet. They are the highest tides in the world. Sybil is a really skilled wildlife photographer and she shares Wells’ passion for abstract photography. Sybil is my point of contact for seeing the tens of thousands of sandpipers and plovers that feed among the tidal flats each August on their migration path from the Artic to South America. The birds arrive at the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy weighing roughly 30 grams and after a couple of weeks on the mud flats they double their weight to 60 grams. At that point they resume their migration to South America nonstop. After a too brief a visit we head on to Moncton where we turn east towards Nova Scotia. After a quick resupply stop we arrive at the campground shortly after 3 and set up with David and Jeanne arriving shortly after 5. We certainly enjoy traveling with them.
The campground was quiet and fine except for neighboring campsite where there was a chain smoker. It made our site way less enjoyable.
