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”

Economy Falls
A visit to Economy Falls has been on my agenda for nearly four years. Between washed out, nearly impassable roads, a crazy schedule and lack of interest from hiking friends it took this much time to finally get to the long anticipated destination. Currently the River Philip Road is a well-maintained gravel logging road. ItContinue reading “Economy Falls”

For the first time this month I had the weekend off. The weather has been stellar and the tides were favourable for replenishing our dulse stash. Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is an edible seaweed rich in nutrients and popular among maritimers. Every community boats that they have THE best dulse and with prices online of aroundContinue reading “Foraging Weekend!”
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!”

Looking for Treasures…
I enjoyed this Sunday morning tour with Deb and her grandson studying rocks and minerals around Partridge Island. Deb had contacted me a few weeks ago to see if I would accommodate them for a treasure hunt. The tides were favourable. We explored the weir, the beach, columnar basalt cliffs and spent time warming upContinue reading “Looking for Treasures…”
