14/06: Lots of Weather Today

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Today we are driving from Edmundston to Saint Andrews. The day started out overcast and coolish about 14 C. One of our goals of this trips is to stay off the major highways as much as possible. This works in Ed's favour as major highways don't have geocaches but minor ones do. That said we drove the scenic route along the Saint John River stopping for some easy caches. We made it to Hartland with only some minor rains. Ed was about to get out of the truck when the rain came down. From this point on we had rain, torrential downpours, a bit of sun then repeat. It was rain quite hard when we arrived in Saint Andrews. Once we were checked in the rain stop and the sun came out and we enjoyed a beautiful evening. Dinner was on a restaurant deck overlooking the Bay of Fundy.
We stopped at Grand Falls. It's not a big water falls but there was a lot of water going over it today.
Florenceville has an interesting bridge, one span is a covered bridge the other spans are steel-truss. The original bridge was covered but sections burned over the years. I'm having a chat with Mr. Potato across from a McCain Foods building. BTW July 13th is National French Fry Day.
The world's longest covered bridge in Hartland 391 meters or 1,282 feet long.
Saint Andrews is a really cute town. Tide was out. The Bay of Fundy experiences extreme tides ... today the difference between low tide and high tide is about 23 feet.
The pier is set but the docks are all floating.
I was surprised at how many churches are in Saint Andrews. We found four old churches with a 3 block area.
I thought we have a deer problem in Walkerton. Well, it's nothing like the one here. Many gardens have fencing around certain plants and we met one shop keeper on the main street who was covering his geraniums with a sheet. The deer are very use to people. When I was walking there were 2 deer on the other side of the road. They looked at me for a second then went back to eating.
