Hopewell Rocks. Awesome.

Face planted in some mud; can't wait to see the pictures everyone took. :)

Unfortunately, the planting was because of twisting my ankle. :(

Mountain biking at Fundy. Stayed on a gravel road today - wasn't up for anything more challenging. It had some good uphills (and downhills) though.

I parked at a trailhead parking lot for the mountain biking (the trail was not open to bikes) and when I finished biking I thought well I'll just go down the trail for 10 or 15 minutes and then turn around. But I got lost in thought and the trail was really nice and then I kept wondering what was around the next bend and before I knew it I'd hiked close to an hour down to some waterfalls. Back was a little faster as the uphill was easier than the down.

An easy, but very pretty and fragrant trail in Fundy. Decided not to tempt the rain which started once I was back in my car on the way back to the inn although here at the inn it's almost sunny. Scoped out a few possibilities for tomorrow.

Turns out I forgot the key to the bike rack on the roof of my car. I was sure it was on the same ring as the key to the bike lock that I use to lock the bike to poles and things but it's not. Bummer. Guess the bike has to continue to travel in the car.

I was thinking a little bit about the terrain here in NB and it seems somewhat similar to the Water Gap.

Some leisurely walking around the nature trails and such at Fundy National Park on a gorgeous day.
