Aug 8, 9 Moncton, New Brunswick

Weather Hotter today almost 90?!  Still using the A/C.
Have you ever seen a Harley Davidson dealership that sells Honda's too???  Isn't that some kind of oxymoron?  Don't the Honda Goldwing guys and the Harley guys poke fun at each other?  Ha Ha.  Anyways out in the East Coast I guess you need to cover all your bases.
Toy's for Big Boys
We also found out there was a big HOG rally coming into town for the weekend so it was bringing out all kinds of bikers.... take a look at this one!

In Moncton people come downtown to a park call the Bore Park where you can watch the tidal bore come in.  We were downtown at about noon and the bore was not coming in till about 4pm, when it comes in there are rolls of water about 2 feet rolling over themselves.  The picture below shows when the tide is still out.

One thing that surprised us today was this low clearance bridge in Moncton...... very low only 11 feet.  The other day when we were coming into our campground we had to cross the river in Moncton and our GPS "Lola" wanted us to go downtown and use the Gunningsville Bridge but to get to it on Main street you had to pass through this.  The instructions to the campground said to use the Causeway.  Just before we got to Moncton Billy decided that we were not going downtown, it didn't feel right and it was a very good call!  Maybe we should call her "Bad Lola"?
