New Brunswick- Bay of Fundy Route Part 1
Ponderosa Pines Campground 8/4-8

Rain, Rain, go away- 2 days of rain - since most of the activities we want to do in the area are outside we had to find some rainy day stuff to do to keep us busy- we had heard about Magnetic Hill- thought we might check it out. The admission charge is $5 for this we drive the car to the bottom of the hill and put the car in neutral take off the break and the car goes up the hill- Yes indeedee the car did back up the hill on its own. Is this a trick an illusion or a huge magnet. I don’t really know but Magnetic Hill has been attracting tourists for 75 years.

Yay- it worked two days no rain. We took advantage of the beautiful days. We went to Cape Enrage to see the lighthouse and were very surprised to find out how the park operates. High school seniors run the park entirely they are responsible for the day-to-day operations and must generate $300,000 in revenue each year to keep the project alive. They do not charge an admission fee it is all done by donations they do offer for charge different types of adventures from Rappelling, climbing, kayaking and zip line.






Next day was Fundy National Park we did a couple of hikes and my favorite was the Dickson Waterfall trail- It was spectacular. We saw the waterfall from the bottom then worked our way up to the top so beautiful.
