Fundy Trail Parkway

I know I always tell you how much time we have spent

at the Fundy Trail Parkway.  

But I would like to share a few photos taken this week.

We call our GPS - baby. The car has it's on Travel Bug called 'KIAn 2 Cache' 

because it's a KIA and we are keen to go geocaching.  

The hanging baskets are on the porch of the Interpretive Centre.

The tide is just changing so it's starting to come in. 

On a short hike on one of the many trails,

we found these. 

An All Day Geocaching Day

There is a local challenge going on in the Geocaching World

here - I think I mentioned it previously.

We have to go to 4 separate national and private Parks

and find 2 specific geocaches within each location.

We need to find the 'cache' take a photo of a specific

area/item and include in the photo ourselves

or our GPS - guess which I chose.

A Day on the dusty back roads -

see below for a visual.

We load up the GPS with Cordinates.

We find a foundation of an old School house.

We pass a Church in the middle of what seems to be 'no where'

as we traval 'across county' by way of an 'old road'.

We check out an old lodge on a lake and find this old stove.

In another Lodge -- Ohhh, look at that! 

A pond said to have been created by the ice-age

that's reported to be 20 meters deep. 

No wonder they say it's 'bottomless'. 

 The Beav looking for a cache along the route

within the Fundy Trail Parkway.

Up there somewhere is the car that I am to be following

as he has the GPS that 'talks' LOL. 

 

An old friend whom Blossom has not seen in 4 years

 arrives for a vist when we get back.

Looking in the mirror,

it's been a great dusty drive (200+ km).

"KIAn 2 Cache" needs a bath, don't you think?

My car is normally Pearl White and with Hub caps.

Thanks Lord for another great day with folks that mean much!



Heart Lodge

Hubby took me on a lunch date to Hearst Lodge -they will shuttle you

up to the Lodge or you can walk/hike. 

We went just for lunch and a relaxing afternoon. 

But if you decide to stay a night or two: 

The Hearst Lodge will be your home base, living like American newspaper magnate, William Randolph Hearst and friends did, more than 50 years ago. 

Live like American newspaper billionaire William Randolph Hearst when you stay at Hearst Lodge – a mix of rustic luxury and fabulous food near the world-famous Bay of Fundy, swim in one of the 22 salmon pools to be found along the stretch of river that leads to the lodge.

Anyone know what this was?

 This fellow watched us watching him for a long time. 

Then we returned from our walk along the River to sit a spell.

But if you choose to stay the night: 

 Dinner includes Bay of Fundy salmon served with seasonal vegetables, homemade rolls and dessert with local berries. After dinner, relax in the lodge living room and enjoy a fireside chat with your hosts. Wake up to a hearty breakfast of fresh eggs, bacon, homemade toast, pancakes and juice. 

I can tell you Laura & George are great hosts and Laura is a terrific chef,

Please visit the Fundy Trail's Heart Lodge  site

for more information including a short video of the area. 

Lunch Reservation for 1? Just for fun.

 The View

 The Waiter- he just needs a white napkin right?

Asks the visiting Guest if he requires reservations for 1. 

Sorry, you will need to wait until the next seating. And, 

it was for 1 right? 

                  Lunch was served

Dessert was wonderful.

 We sat and watched this fellow for awhile as he had lunch. 

Such a simple thing, but we took the time to sit. 

Have you 'just sat' lately? 

New Brunswick Day - August 6, 2012

 Local MLA cooking up Hot dogs on a hot day.

Of course, had to include Geocaching! 

Capturing the Bay by Zip line

Black Rose got to do something today that she has never done!  What a time!  I think she had fun don't you? We attended a Geocaching event wherein we have to travel to 4 of the local parks (national and private) and find the caches within each and then have our 'passport' stamped and we receive a special 'coin'.  Black Rose went as a Geocacher but also as the representative for the Park at which she works and was given the opportunity to go Zip Lining!  It was a beautiful day - one of the best out that way so we were told as it's often much cooler and windy, but a LOVELY stop if you are on a Fundy Coast Drive.


This fellow is another cacher and showes you the height and the views she would have seen.  He used a cell to take these photos.      http://youtu.be/cHdcoqRQiEc
