Day trip through the Black Hills, South Dakota











We spent 9 hours on a very fun tour that started with Breakfast at Ft Hays Dances with Wolves film set and ended with a chuckwagon supper and western music show....Mount Rushmore, Needles Highway, Cathedral Spires, Custer State Park-Sylvan Lake, Crazy Horse. Some breath taking scenery. Great way to start ending our holiday.




Badlands of South Dakota







The view was unbelievable and the colours in the layers (pink, yellow, gray). Again the pics don't do it justice. Deep gorges and castle like spires.



Travelling the US


Hudson River, New York




Fall is coming.










Allegheny Mountains, Pennsylvania






















Falls Park at Sioux Falls. Pink quartzite rock.

Saying Good-bye to the East Coast


Uneventful border crossing on Sept 13th. Only lost one Canadian grown tomato. Go figure!!!!!!




There is something special about the sea, and no matter whether you have traveled a thousand miles to reach it or have lived beside it all your live, the vast expanse of moving water, the calling of gulls and the tang of seaweed draws us to the salty elements. Good Bye, East Coast.

Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick


The Dinosaur Rock


This hole is 26 feet high and is covered when the tide is in. Awesome.





We visited last night when the tide was in and came back this morning so we could walk on the oceans floor one last time before we leave. Totally incredible. The Flower Pot Rocks.



Cape d'Or, Nova Scotia




A Lighthouse, Restaurant, and Inn at the bottom of a cliff. You leave your car at the top and walk down. The view was amazing.


Eatonville


Three Sisters sea stacks.



A short hike to a spectacular view. We never get tired of rocks, cliffs and water.
