Hopewell Rocks



Further up the Bay of Fundy we stayed at the Ponderosa Pines campground.  From our chairs beside our trailer we look out over the mud flats that are covered with water at high tide, and allowed for tons of exploration when the tide went out.  The moon is almost full right now so the tides are particularly high and low.
We have gone to see the Flower Pots at low tide and walked on the ocean floor, just like it says in the travel brochure!  We were hoping to go kayaking at high tide, but the wind was too strong and so the waves were too high.  I guess we will have to save that one for another time and place.  It is really neat to see the huge difference in the water level as it goes in and out.  We have spent a lot of time exploring tidal pools in the last little bit - I think we might have to try clam digging next.  Rianna does not like it when they squirt water up at us as we walk across the mud!
