Arriving at Scotia Pines Campground we were happy to see the large sites with a line of pine trees between each site, beautiful, we settled in and looked forward to the next days exploration. Our first full day in Nova Scotia we headed for Maitland, a small community that the campground operator suggested we visit, on our way we drove over a bridge and to our right we saw a look-out, it was the site of a tidal bore viewing. What's a tidal bore? a tidal bore is a wave action that literally reverses the flow of rivers flowing into the particular river, in his case the Shubenacadie River, when we first got there the river bed was showing and whatever tributaries flowed, they where a mere trickle, within an hour we saw a wave coming around a corner and make it's way up the river and got to a depth of maybe 20 t0 30 feet, we'll find out more tomorrow, and rafters were coming up the river carrying passengers up the river where a few minutes earlier there was only a river bed, awesome is the only thing I can say, you need to see it.
