The morning started with a walk to the Petitcodiac River passing geese filled fields along the way.

Next to the river we found artifacts of time past – an old landfill site and two crumbing silos with graffiti and Danger signs. The concrete at the base of the silos on the river side was largely nonexistent so it may not be long before they tip over. At the moment it was home to quite a number of pigeons.

The New Brunswick Railway Museum houses many artifacts from an older railway era. Here you’ll find documentation, signal lights, yard control panels, railway cars and engines, both diesel and steam. It would have been great if the “guides” actually told you something about these items instead of playing cards or with their phones, but nonetheless, there is lots to see, read and learn independently.

We stopped in Alma at the Information Centre and got some tips for what to do in the area and where to eat. Dinner was right at the wharf at Tipsy Tails, before spending the night at the Fundy National Park Headquarters Campground at a site right next to a lookout point. When the tides are low, the ships rest on the mud and when the tide is high they are floating much higher on the dock.
