We ventured out in the rain and cold from our "campground" (It's really an RV park). We drove around Moncton and on to the closest attraction on the Bay of Fundy. The tides expose rocks at low tide that stand stories above your head while you walk on the ocean floor. At high tide only the tops of the rocks show and they look like islands. We walked down to the beach and talked to the ranger who was dressed in his summer shorts, even though it was about 42 degrees and really cold in the wind. He took our picture.

The ranger estimated that the tide would reach about 41 feet on this particular day, the difference between high and low tides.

Can you see the ranger in his shorts? It was a hike down and then, of course, a hike back up.

| The bay is this chocolate brown color because of the always moving tides |

| At about mid-tide, the mud flats are starting to be exposed |
