Sep 25, 2009 - Tides and Magnets in New Brunswick

From Quebec City, we drove around the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, with the highlight of this rainy drive being the big rock at Pearce (see photos). From here it was down through New Brunswick to the city of Moncton where we experienced the main tourist attraction- the ‘Magnetic Hill’ where cars accelerate uphill in neutral (it just looks like a puddly piece of road but is neat to see in real life). ... The other cool thing we saw in New Brunswick was the Bay of Fundy where the highest tides in the world (10-15 m) are visible.From Quebec City, we drove around the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, with the highlight of this rainy drive being the big rock at Pearce (see photos).

Jun 4, 2009 - Misc in New Brunswick

June 3, 2009 traveled about 40 miles We drove over to Moncton, NB, got to the campground called Stonehurst Trailer Park, it was a very nice park, when we went in to register we found out that they only have one site for tonight, but before the evening was up the lady from the office knocked on our door and said she could put us in a 20 amp site with water and electric for Fri and Sat night which is fine as we wanted to stay here a few days. ... We drove over to Hopewell Rocks where when it is low tide you can walk on the ocean floor, the tide comes in about 40 feet then it is that deep, there are huge boulders where the water has formed the rocks in unique shapes, we really enjoyed this as we got some walking in going down to the rocks.June 3, 2009 traveled about 40 miles We drove over to Moncton, NB, got to the campground called Stonehurst Trailer Park, it was a very nice park, when we went in to register we found out that they only have one site for tonight, but before the evening was up the lady from the office knocked on our door and said she could put us in a 20 amp site with water and electric for Fri and Sat night which is fine as we wanted to stay here a few days. ...

Aug 26, 2008 - On the way to the Island.

Today we made the decision to go to Prince Edward Island before Nova Scotia, mostly because we had heard that PEI starts to roll up the tourist carpet earlier than everyone else. But no, we had to drive all the way up to Moncton, get lost because of new interchanges, roads and bypasses and generally suck up a pile of extra fuel. ... Oh well, I guess that's how you get to see the scenery.Today we made the decision to go to Prince Edward Island before Nova Scotia, mostly because we had heard that PEI starts to roll up the tourist carpet earlier than everyone else.
