Winnebago Voyage: North side of the Bay of Fundy

We got an early start and drove back through Digby and past the eastern edge of the Minas Basin. Then we headed north and then west again along the Northern shore of the Bay of Fundy. They have what they call "tidal bores" where the rivers meet the tides rushing in, which causes big waves and white water. But the timing for those now is early morning and late evening, so we won't see them.

Highway 2 was pretty good at first, but got rougher as we went, plus it became mountainous and really curvy. When we leave, we have to go back on the same road for part of the way. Our campground is near the tip of the peninsula at Spencer's Island. It is on a point of land with the bay on the front side and a marsh on the back that fills up with water when the tide is high. When we got here, there was at least 100 yards of rocks and sand in front of us, but by 8 pm the water was almost up to the sea wall. The tides rise and drop an average of 30 vertical feet each time!

We rode down through the next town and then saw a sign promoting a view point at Cape d'Or. We rode at least 5 miles on a bumpy gravel road to the lookout which has an old and a new lighthouse. We didn't stay long since the mosquitoes were eating us up!

At the campground, I was struggling to get connected to the WiFi since they have a weird portal to go through and it's not Mac-friendly. I sat at the picnic table and called Bennett for help, which would have been a struggle since I would have to just tell him what I was seeing on my screen. The nice young man next door heard me and came out and asked if he could help. He's a full-time computer whiz and had already figured out their complicated system, so he got me hooked up! He and his family live full-time in their Airstream trailer and he works on the road.
