Sunday Country Drive (A non-fishing post)

Time/Date: 1755 AST, 31-Jul-11
Location: A good chunk of western NB

Being a long weekend, I intentionally avoided the water (& associated crowds) for the past couple days save for a nocturnal predator patrol for muskie & stripers on Friday night.

To kill some time today, my lovely gf & I took a leisurely country drive to some of the roadside touristy things one might stumble upon while driving New Brunswick's secondary highways.

Here are some pics; try not to all rush here at once. There's plenty of room for everyone.

That's exciting...
Every year or two, some yokel gets looped up & tries to burn this down
Yup. Somebody answered the call & built an Ark. Brilliant.
It's fairly large...
And, of course, as every Ark needs, it has satellite TV.
They've started collecting the animals, two by two; with bunnies...
...and alpacas...
...and goats...
...who really enjoy carrots.
We also stopped by the Miramichi Headwaters Salmon Federation's trout & salmon rearing station, where my gf adopted/sponsored a trout.

All in all, a fun day (for not fishing).

Here's some music.

Does the ark also have free WiFi? That's a must in any ark.....

Not sure about wifi...don't think the high-speed thing has hit those parts yet.

In fact, I don't think a lot of things have hit those parts yet...
