East Coast Roadtrip: Day 8

Route: Baddeck, NS -> Joggins Fossil Cliffs, NS -> Kouchibouguac, NB

Our plan for the day was to go see Uisge Ban Falls in Baddeck. We found lots of salamanders under logs and rocks, and the waterfalls were just incredible!

These puff ball mushrooms are filled with grey spores that a certain someone decided would be fun to “poof out”…

It was the first sunny day we’d had in a while, and was a welcome change!

We couldn’t help but stop off at Joggins Fossil cliffs again on our way back. We’d really enjoyed it the last time, and this time we were armed with bug spray. It was a long drive (4 hours) and again, getting dark by the time we made it there.

Found a couple of little friends as we explored the beach:

From here, we headed out to New Brunswick to the Kouchibouguac National Park. The cabins we wanted to stay in were right beside the park and they had lots of space since it was off season. There was so much space, in fact, that we were the only people there. Even the owners didn’t stay! They gave us the key to our cabin, and drove home! We unpacked the car and refused to say what we were both thinking “Don’t most horror movies start like this? Desolate cabin in the middle of nowhere…”
