New Brunswick

Saint John is the largest city in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, and the second largest in the maritime provinces. It is known as the Fundy City due to its location on the north shore of the Bay of Fundy at the mouth of the Saint John River.

We were boondocking seventy feet from this view.

My photo looks like a promotional one I saw on a brochure, and, well, you could hardly miss with this amazing view. For awhile we saw a waterfall here; a few hours later the tide turned the whole thing upriver and there was no hint of a waterfall. I had to see it to believe it.

Rockwood Park is a city park in Saint John, New Brunswick. It is one of Canada's largest urban parks. The park encompasses miles of upland Acadian mixed forest, many hills and several caves, as well as several freshwater lakes, with an extensive trail network, a golf course and the city's zoo.

We saw many monuments and provincial flags here.

Whoops, I forgot to take pictures. But why?

The shock of no longer having phone/text ability made me think the iPhone had to be put away; however, after the shock of cutting off most communications, I remembered that the iPhone is my camera too. (!)

Also, a new GPS that I had bought in Maine stopped working the minute I crossed into Canada!
(Hmmm, good idea to check for Canadian maps next time.)

Well, it turned out my old GPS from 2009 had Canadian maps on it. So I used that until I arrived at Costco in Moncton to trade in the new Garmin for one with Canadian maps.

I think it was one of the busiest Costcos I have ever seen.

This has all been difficult because I have become used to cell phone map technology, but I won't have access to that for six weeks from now until I cross the border back into Maine.

Meanwhile, back to satellite GPS and learning the updates on it's technology. It talks to you if you say the exact right thing. Unlike Siri, it has no sense of humor.

All this is enough to make me downright grouchy.
