Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail

Familiarization of Cliffs of Fundy Geopark sites is high on my list of priorities. Last Tuesday the opportunity presented itself to visit and explore a destination I had on my bucket list for some time. I took Exit 13 on the Trans-Canada, turned my wheels toward the Debert Industrial Park and headed toward the parkingContinue reading “Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail”

Busiest Tour Schedule To Date!

The last ten days have been the busiest and most rewarding this summer. Some days I could have split myself into thirds to accommodate the tour requests.

It was aContinue reading “Busiest Tour Schedule To Date!”

Witness to Erosion and Celebrating the Return of the Soley Cove Waterfalls!

I had a return tour participant today and we ventured out to Soley Cove. With numerous Five Islands Provincial Park Tours Soley Cove warranted a special private tour. I was shocked by the signs of extreme erosion after last Thursday’s heavy downpour. It had caused severe flooding, major damage and one death across the BayContinue reading “Witness to Erosion and Celebrating the Return of the Soley Cove Waterfalls!”

HerContinue reading “Whirlwind Week of Touring!”

Five Islands Provincial Park and Soley Cove – in less than 18 hours

Thanks to three interested women and their canine companions the season kick off at Five Islands Provincial Park was a success.
