wow!!!!

See how easy we can get carried away with a Topic and it worked. I had been thinking its hard sometimes as the day seems so long when we are not with our spouses and I thought here is a story and everyone jumped at it to comment.

Hey everyone I'm happy I could change the subject and create a post where it makes our minds think which is great.

It gives a perspective on our Country to others how big it is. But when I lived there it was in the seventies, I came out of Grand Central Station and thought I was in another world on the size of everything.

Today I look at it and see people running here and there and no one cares about their neighbours.

I just moved into a place where from my window I see Sugar Loaf Mountain it was once a Volcano and my front window I see the beautiful Restigouche River that is famous all over the world for Salmon Fishing the most famous people come to fish actors, Presidents and Prime Ministers. Then across from the Restigouche River is the oldest Mountains in the world The Appalachian Mountains which are over 480 million years old. So when I say you can live anywhere I would rather see and live here then any place in Canada.



Sugarloaf Mountain is a 281.1 m (922 ft) mountain in the northern Appalachian Mountains in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada. The mountain is protected by Sugarloaf Provincial Park and lies within city limits, just south of the urban area.[1]
Geology
Sugarloaf Mountain is a Late Devonian age volcano.[2] Its formation is associated to a period of crustal thinning that followed the Acadian orogeny in the northern Appalachian Mountains.
Mi'kmaq legend
A Mi'kmaq legend states that Sugarloaf Mountain was created when Glooscap flung the leader of a group of giant beavers that had dammed the Restigouche River, blocking the salmon from their spawning grounds and depriving the Mi'kmaq of their food source. The beaver landed at the mountain's site and turned into rock, becoming Sugarloaf Mountain.[3]

The Restigouche River (often Ristigouche in French) is a river that flows across the northwestern part of the province of New Brunswick and the southeastern part of Quebec.

The river flows in a northeasterly direction from its source in the Appalachian Mountains of northwestern New Brunswick to Chaleur Bay. Its meander length is approximately 200 kilometres. The Restigouche is fed by several tributaries flowing south from Quebec's Notre Dame Mountains on the western edge of the Gaspé Peninsula (Kedgwick River, Gounamitz River, Patapédia River and Matapédia River) as well as the Upsalquitch River flowing north from New Brunswick's Chaleur Uplands.

Located mostly in New Brunswick

Will travel around Canada next time, been in BC for 7 years and still haven't seen Whistler. But the above sounds very nice

Not just nice its gorgeous!!!

If you travel on the Quebec side to the end you find Percé Rock its huge just by itself and magnificent! We are so lucky to have a beautiful clean country here in Canada. When I was in Peshawar Pakistan for 14 months I could not believe how people threw trash out the windows or just walking and throwing it to the ground to me this was sad!!
