Day 7: Kejimkujik National Park

This is early morning of the next day since the internet was down due to a loose cord (not the yellow house), sorry it is so late.

Today we went to Kejimkujik National Park and Natural Historic Site. It was really pretty, once we got there and watched a video at the visitor's site, we headed to see the rapids. They were beautiful and with the noise they made it was one of the most relaxing moments ever! After we walked back to the car and drove to a picnic area for lunch. We ate right next to the lake and then played on the playground... again. We looked at deer signs in an abandon parking lot and its surrounding areas. Next the really interesting part, we went on a Petroglyphs tour left by the Mi'kmaw people. It was fascinating, in the rock that they have preserved there is carving of things the would see such as; a french man, deer and there seven pointed star. Then we went on a 3 and half mile walk through the Hemlock Forest, this consists of very old growth trees that have leaves at the top to create an awning and very little branches. There is however lots of moss that provides the smaller plants at the bottom with water. The coolest thing to happen today was on our way back a bear ran across the road in front of the van. It was neat to see the way they run too! After that excitement I fell asleep the rest of the hour and 15 minute ride home from the park. Here are some of the pictures from today.


This is a tree that a beaver started to use for its dam but it seems to have given up when it realized how far he would have to carry it to water.
These two pictures are from the rapids at the park.

This was our view from the picnic tables during lunch.

Here is Maya and I after lunch sitting on a park bench.

This is the start of our petroglyphs tour.

Here is a french man, he is on his side here, but there is an emblem on this armour and lines for a helmet.

This is Shana with her caterpillar that she carried for our whole walk.

This was a tree whose roots have gone around a boulder, it was interesting to see the variety of species in the forest.

Again, thanks for reading and hope everyone is doing well!
