Hopewell Rocks, NB

The last day of Summer today. Drove into Moncton from Shediac with "Granny' to take Highway 114 down the south side of the Petitcodiac River which reaches down to the Bay of Fundy from Moncton. We wanted to visit the Hopewell Rock formations at low tide. There is no tidal bore here as the river is too wide but the tide rises at a rate of 2 -3 meters per hour and we could see boulders dissapear within 10 minutes. The mud flats were wide for miles. You can see by the moss on the trees this is a very wet area.
