Since we are back home, we wanted to share some details of our recent trip over the next few days.
Our first day in Canada gave us our first real glimpse of the fall colors we had traveled so far to see!
As we made our way through New Brunswick, we found ourselves pulling over just to take pictures. From a quiet lake beside an RV park to a random gravel road with a towering wind turbine, the brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows were already making the trip worthwhile.
One of our favorite stops was the charming little town of St. George, where we stopped for lunch and coffee and spent some time exploring.
Right in the heart of town, the Magaguadavic River plunges 69 feet over First Falls through a rocky gorge beside the beautiful red St. George Mill, built in 1904. The waterfall once supplied power to several of the town’s industries, including lumber mills, granite works, and pulp production.
Just down Main Street, we discovered the First Community Cemetery, established in 1784. This historic burial ground contains the graves of some of the town’s earliest settlers, including its founder, Captain Peter Clinch. Some of the gravestones date back more than 200 years.
Between the historic buildings, the rushing waterfall, the centuries-old cemetery, and the brilliant autumn leaves, St. George turned out to be much more than a lunch stop.
And this was only our first day in Canada!
