From the moment I woke up and began my journey into Fredericton all I wanted was to return to the wilderness. Being that Fredericton was the capital of New Brunswick, I certainly wasn’t gonna pass it up and soon found myself entering the city limits.
It was raining on and off as a wave of fog crept through the area. I did the majority of my exploring in the car, occasionally stopping to take a short walk around a neighborhood or get a closer look at something.
I found an empty field nearby where I took Winnie to burn off some of her energy as she’d been fidgety in the car. I was glad I did so as she quite literally ran circles around me non stop. With a tuckered out pup I returned to my vehicle, doing my last bit of exploring before dusk’s arrival.
Night driving has its ups and downs. One of the perks is you’re able to cover a lot of ground with the roads being far less populated. You miss a lot of the scenery at night though, along with added hazards such as moose that frequent many of the roads after sundown. When the daylight fades into night I embrace the changes the night brings and make the best of the situation, covering as much ground as possible. It was with this mindset I drove out of Fredericton and into Fundy National Park where I pitched my tent in eager anticipation of the morning.
