Next event: Drive to St Martins and Tour the Fundy Trail Parkway.

Heather and I are organizing a run to St Martins NB, Saturday, July 6.

     This is a very pretty drive with mostly decent roads, and with lots of twists, turns and hills. The drive is about 180 km each way. The roads are all paved, but there is (at least) one relatively rough section.
     We will meet at the Fredericton Food Bank, 686 Riverside Drive, (formerly Green Village) at 9:00 for 9:30 departure. If so inclined, bring a donation to the Food Bank!
     We will travel down Rte 105 to Jemseg, then to Cambridge Narrows, and from there, the back roads thru Springfield, Norton, Hillsdale and eventually St Martins. There are a few good spots for Bio breaks. Then into the Park for pictures and a picnic. Entrance to the park is $5.50  plus tax per person.
     The Fundy Trail Parkway is about 16Km long with several ‘Lookouts’ to stop and admire the scenery, so we will plan to stop and do the tourist thing on the way in.  At the end of the parkway is an excellent spot for a picnic with picnic tables and lots of room to park. A little heads up driving thru the park .... expect 16% grades!
     To see a little different country and to enjoy some more twisty roads, we will return thru Hampton, back to Springfield and Cambridge Narrows.
     Wear comfortable shoes, bring a camera, sunscreen, bug spray and a great picnic lunch! We will plan this trip Rain or Shine, BUT if it’s raining we will decide what to do at our drivers meeting before we leave the Food Bank.
