Maritime mini runs.

Well, had supper and needed a Timmie's fix so off again. Here are two more local shots.

First is by a wall mural in Digby at the end of town heading out to the ferry terminal depicting some history which hopefully will not get erased.

Second is a rest area on the way to the ferry overlooking the Annapolis Basin. The group of white buildings in the far left is the former Cornwallis training camp.

Got this in Shediac at a red light after supper. Cruises to Pointe du Chene Wharf then up 134 to Cocagne and headed home on 11.

A couple of mini run pics. Traveled over to the South Shore NS today. Dropped into Rissers Beach (park) and Cresent beach to cool off from the 30 degrees. Highly recommended stops if in the area. Quick pic on the way outside of Liverpool by a very small waterfall.

Ended up in Lunenburg for some "The Fish Shack" goodness.

Bonus pic of a bird waiting for some scraps.

Love the first pic in your photos, great shot.

Today headed up the Annapolis Valley. Outside Wolfville past the village of Canning and up on the mountain is a look off where you can get a spectacular view of the head of the valley.

Street view was there a few years ago and complimented their capture when it included a Mustang in the shot. Maybe it was one of ours.

Thanks. Hoping to get past just doing day trips in Western NS. Lived in NB for 8 years and from Cape Breton. All the kids were born in Fredericton and I know of quite a few spots I want to get back to when travel can accommodate overnight stays without risk. Until then letting others know about some areas where I currently reside. Fall should open up some good shots too. I have seen a couple of pics from others I already want to get my car to and snap a shot like they did. We live in a great part of the country in more ways than one. All made up of great scenery, passions and people.

Hard to go wrong with a Valley drive in any direction! It’s amazing how the Geography’s and scenery changes within a few miles

Just back from little run before rain starts.
Radar picture just as I got home.
I live between Grand-Falls and Edmundston where Hwy. 17 from Campbellton meets the TCH.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Drove southeast to Plaster Rock, picked up the Tonique river and followed it west-southwest to Perth-Andover.
From there headed back north along the St-John river through Grand-Falls.
Gone about 3 hours.
Burned half tank.
About 250 km.

Stopped on the Arthurette bridge over the Tobique, half way between Plaster Rock and Perth.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Then a little stop along the St-John on main street in Perth-Andover.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Then stopped on bridge over the Aroostook river on old TCH.
This is right after it comes out of the State of Maine and just before it dumps into the St-John.
TCH bridge behind.

Last photo stop at Marina on the St-John river in Saint-Leonard.
Bridge to Van Buren, Maine, in background.

Beautiful areas around there. Took my time coming back from mount Carlton a couple weeks ago and checked out some nice spots

Great shots and really appreciating the details and ideas of places to go.... keep them coming!

Al - you mentioned a circular route out from Saint John taking in some of the ferries, could you provide some details of the route?
