On the beach at Cape Enrage. New Brunswick, Canada.
Last week we looked at The Rocks of Cape Enrage. I could show you more, but that would be going overboard. Besides, it’s time to move on. We can’t spend all of our time at Cape Enrage, no matter how beautiful it is there. (For those new to Life in the Bogs, my husband and I took a trip to the Canadian Maritimes back in June, and I’m still sorting through all of the photographs I took.)

Over time
As promised, I’ve brought you some rocks from Cape Enrage. Since I’m on a mission to simplify my life, I did not bring home a ton of rocks from our vacation in a form other than photographic. I already have little altars of rocks (shells, feathers, etc.) built pretty much everywhere around the house. I’ve been limiting my penchant for collecting to photography.

On the way to Cape Enrage
Do you remember these stairs? Go ahead and look if you need to refresh your memory. We’ll wait.

Hopewell Rocks is a good place to experience the tides of the Bay of Fundy. Also known as Flowerpot Rocks, the base of the rocks are covered twice a day at high tide. At low tide you can view and explore the rocks from ground level.

Stairs to the beach at Cape Enrage
Once upon a time, a very long time ago (going on 20 years, I think) in a land far away, I took a fall down a long, steep set of metal stairs in a castle ruin. It happened in Scotland, and I obviously lived to tell about it, but during the fall I wasn’t sure I would. Even M had thoughts of having to take me home in a body bag. We both agree it seemed to take hours for me to reach the bottom although it was probably a matter of seconds. I miraculously made it to the bottom with almost no injuries (a cut, a missing fingernail, a little mud on my nose).

On the road to Cape Enrage
Cape Enrage is located on the tip of Barn Marsh Island in New Brunswick. It acquired its name from the violent waters that occur at half tide when the reef that extends south into the bay is partially exposed to the rapidly moving water. The Acadian sailors called it Cap Enragé. The British anglicized the name after they kicked out the French.

My first daytime viewing of the Bay of Fundy from the Cliffside Suites in Alma, New Brunswick.
When we started planning our trip to the Canadian Maritimes, M had the Bay of Fundy on his wish list of places to visit. I’d heard of it, but wondered if tides could be impressive. Most of my experiences with watching the tide come in or go out were at the Jersey (as in New Jersey) shore growing up. Our parents loaded us all into the station wagon early on a Saturday in August and off we went for two weeks of sand, sea, and sun. Being a person of the fair skinned variety, I suffered many a sunburn. Burn and peel were pretty much the norm for the first week. A good case of sun poisoning was not uncommon. After that I would develop my version of a tan which tends to be reddish enough to look like a sunburn. We didn’t have sunscreen in those days, and if I ever do see a dermatologist, I’m sure she will be shocked to learn I used the baby oil and iodine solution that was so popular in those days. Might as well have deep fried me. Heh.
