Alma, NB...Lobster Town

Moved south down coastline to Fundy National Park on a very wet, rainy Tuesday. Woke up to sunny, cloudy, cool day, perfect for cycling…first time with jackets and pants on…bye, bye summer. It seems odd not to be going back to school, but for me …”School’s out Forever”…yeahhhhh…great day to be on the bikes! Left Headquarters campground to neighbour’s guitar bicycle send- off…”What goes up…must come down, spinnin’ wheels got to go round”…okay, so what does he know?...off we rode  and within minutes attacked our first of many giant hills…”High on a hilltop lives a lonely goater, yoddle ole lady whooo” Our clothes were off pretty darn quick…it was a rugged 75 km Hwy 915 coastline ride of up,up,up…down, down, down. The quad/hammy pistons were definitely put to the test today…”I’m a big hill slinger, I’ve got golden spinners, and we’re workin’ wherever we go…”  Waterside community was stunning with its red sand beaches and many nesting herons in the marshlands. Ventured out to lighthouse at Cape Enrage…not hilly…much L…took in the many vistas of the Bay of Fundy, across to Nova Scotia, along cattle farms to Riverside-Albert where Tom tried to rob a bank, but it was closed…gots to love my boy! Inland return through Acadia forest along the pink NB Hwy 114 down to seaside Alma for the start of our seafood chowder, circle tour before evening rains. God I love the ocean!

Tom was leading???

Community of Waterside

Cape Enrage...ziplining...not!

If only the bank was open!
