For the first time ever, we maxed out the memory card on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 waterproof camera that we use for most of our HD video while travelling. On the last night of our 2012 New Brunswick trip, I was attempting to film the sunset over Nictau Lake at Mount Carleton Provincial Park when the memory ran out. Since, we’ve brought on board two additional cards to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
Anywho… What follows are the edited versions of the videos from the New Brunswick trip that was mostly spent camping at Fundy National Park and Mount Carleton.
Waterfall on Forty-Five River. Advertised for its covered bridge, the real feature along Forty-five River is the waterfall directly beneath the bridge. This is within the Fundy National Park boundary but you have to go out of the park and back in to get to this location.
Dickson Brook Trail is one of the shortest and most easily accessible of the hiking trails within Fundy National Park. The feature is Dickson Falls, a wonderful cascade over emerald green moss and dark black rock.
Laverty Falls Trail combines with Moosehorn Trail to create a decent afternoon hike. The two waterfalls featured in this video are both great for swimming at the base.
Fundy Tides at Alma, New Brunswick. This is the big feature of the Bay of Fundy region. Some of the world’s largest tides leave visitors in awe. Alma is located on the edge of Fundy National Park and is home to several seafood restaurants.
Williams Falls at Mount Carleton Provincial Park. A very short and easy trail leads to Williams Falls on Williams Brook. 2012 was in large contrast to 2011, as far as water volume in this area. We visited the park at the same time of year in 2011 but the Maritimes had been visited by remnants of hurricanes and were waterlogged. See this video from last year to compare.
Edmundston, New Brunswick is located in the northwest corner of the province of New Brunswick, not far from the border with Quebec. Directly across the St. John River from Edmundston is the U.S. state of Maine. Typically, when coming from the west, drivers want to fill their tanks in eastern Ontario (Brockville or Cornwall) and make every ounce of gasoline count in order to make it to Edmundston and not have to fill up in Quebec. Gasoline prices this September were drastically higher in the province of Quebec – sometimes as much as 20 cents per litre more than Ontario.
Note: All videos were edited with Corel VideoStudio Pro x4. All still images included in the videos were taken with either the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 or the Canon Rebel T3i.
