Aug 7 Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick

Weather Hot? Yes the hottest out here yet 85+ We had to put the A/C on in the motorhome.
We moved to Hopewell area to a waterfront campground called Ponderosa Pines, we have to pull into the waterfront site then back out when we are ready to leave.  We actually have the best sites in the campground!
This area is known for the largest tides in the world,  it can be up to 46 feet.  Currently the day we visited Hopewell Rocks the tide was about 39 feet.  When the tide goes out it leaves rock formations visible which you can walk around and under - 3 hours before and after low tide.   This was the busiest tourist place we have been out here!  Kind of amazing - actually it is truly amazing!!!  The Flower Pot formation has trees growing on top, and when the tide is high it looks like a little island.
