Today was an amazing day. The walking was fine; the amazing part was the people. Again.
We had breakfast with Alonzo Leger, a bit of a living legend in these parts: he blazed the route for the east half of Fundy Footpath. Possibly no single person knows the trails that I will hike for the next five days better than Alonzo. He even joined me on the morning walk along the Moncton Rivertrail.
In the afternoon Paul Gaudet, the Manager of Interpretive Services at Hopewell Rocks gives us a private tour of that park by golf cart. We get to see 41 foot tides rushing in around the rock pillars, plus lots of amazing videos.
In the evening, Jim deWolfe, a 20 year veteran of the Dobson Trail and past President of the hiking club, knocked on our RV door for a great chat, and then Alonzo and his wife came by for a end-of-day beer.
Sep 12 - 11.2 miles to the northern end of the Dobson Trail. (19.8-4.8+3.0km)
