Western Lighthouse, Brier Island. This whole hike is very open. Didn't see any other hikers - just a Dad and his son and another man on a couple ATV's . ATV trails make up a good part of the trail system we were on, as there is private land - some with cabins - on that end of the island.

The trail went through a seagull nesting zone - there was no way to circumvent the area. We apologized to the upset mamas screeching and dive-bombing us for being so close to their nests.

Easier to walk on these flat slabs of rock-lava than the seaweed-slimey ones from the previous day’s hike. Spectacular weather- few mosquitoes but not unmanageable.

Brier Island NS. Started at Northern Lighthouse, Seal Cove- but didn’t see any seals!

Sandy Cove, NS. near Whale Cove campground where 3 of us shared a rent-a-tent - which would have been great if one of the double air mattresses wouldn’t have leaked!

This alcove had a natural altar built into it. The hike organizer called this a Sand and Seacaves Hike - rightly so .

My view sitting in the farthest corner in the deepest cave we saw. We had to hang out in this area (within this view) for extra half hour to wait for the tide to go out so we get around the corner to the next beach.

Waterfall spray falling off the cliffs.

Hiking with friends near Port Lorne on Bay of Fundy side of NS. Walked on trail through trees and grass to get to the beach - pants tucked into socks kept most of the ticks off me!
