The Vultures Roost

This fellow and a dozen of his brood came last fall and helped themselves to our apple trees. I hope he comes back this year for more.

Marjorie’s first striper. As you can see the tide is about half way.

I had to jump in to get it..... but I got it!

Another small fossil! The shore is full of interesting things. We spend many days looking for beach glass and continue to explore new things even after forty years.

Where in the heck did this come from..... We see some strange and beautiful stones on the shore. I wish I knew more about them. That’s our grandson about eight years ago.

The mud flats looking towards Grindstone island and the rocks in Albert county. Low tide as you can see. This is where the sandpipers come to feed on their trip south.

The very beautiful cliffs below home. Always interesting and always changing.

Coming home in April from Texas. This is a mile from our home and I had to stop and take a picture of the snow banks. We so wanted to head right back to Texas.

Our rig at the Paragon Casino. A wonderful place to stay travelling south. Good rates if you use Passport America.

Friends with the Airstream and us travelling to Texas in 2016. We had stopped at one of the many historical spots on the Natchez Trace park.

Just topping the hill in Quebec on April fourth coming home from Texas. A snow storm and miserable driving.... can’t wait to get home.

My beautiful wife and her best friend along with dog, Joey at the shore below the house.

Friends and family having fun playing in the mud flats. Good clean dirty fun.

Marjorie’s sign we take with us camping. Yes.... sometimes we get toasted. Neither of us smoke but do edibles to sleep. Getting old sucks when everything hurts.

One of Marjorie’s beautiful quilts on the rack. No machine quilting here. Every stitch done by hand and with love. I think every family member has one.

Sometimes I think my beautiful wife has yet to grow up...? But she loves to have fun.

Another good cliff shot.

Looking from the road at our humble abode.

Our garden last year. Not bad considering the late start. But everything grew great and we had a successful crop of everything.

Rockport Texas 2016. At the Sanddollar Resort. A great little park. Somewhat dated but we stay because of the people. Not our motor home behind us. Marjorie caught this 38” black drum. It took twenty five minutes to get it into the boat using light tackle. It tasted good..!

Description

We are on the shore of the Bay of Fundy (walking distance) and the Sandpiper mud flats. Forty two km from Moncton. Twenty eight km from the Nova Scotia border. Magnificent stone cliffs by the water to hike. (Watch the tides) you can get caught. The Sandpiper interpretation centre is three km away where you can watch the flocks of sandpipers carve artwork in the air.

Sackville and it’s Mount Allison university is only thirteen km away.

House Rules

Rules...... what rules!

If you smoke we request that all butts be picked up and disposed of.
Dog or cat residue must be cleaned up immediately.
Treat our property as you would your own. Pick up after yourself and your children.

We are somewhat early to bed as we are old...! Sometimes cranky!
But use common sense and you are free to do what you want.

If the garden is in season you will be allowed to help yourself to most of it. We will let you know what not to pick as we preserve lots for ourselves. There may be plants in the garden not intended for children.

If you have children we will expect you to look after them and keep them out of trouble.I have some farm equipment and stored stuff so although it is not dangerous in itself ...... kids will be kids. So look after your children. We don’t mind children and enjoy showing them the country way of doing things. But we put in our time and will smile and wave when you leave with yours.
Just kidding,(sort of).

Access Road Conditions

Lots of room to turn around on the property and all of the ground is solid. There are no trees to tear off rooftop units or rain gutters.
Our driveway is wide enough to make an easy turn. I have brought tractor trailer rigs into the yard with plenty of room to turn.

Tow Vehicle Parking Details

Lots of room for tow vehicles. Pretty much just pick a spot next to your rig.

Location

Dorchester Cape, NB, Canada

Suggested Local Attractions

The city of Moncton has much to see. Museums, shopping and dining.
If you can not buy it in Moncton then it is not available anywhere.
The village of Dorchester is interesting with old stone buildings and two museums. There is a takeout that serves pretty good grub.

Great spot!

Had a great stay at The Vultures Roost. Beautiful location, quiet sleep but most of all the hosts. They did everything to make you feel welcome at their home. Had some nice conversations with them and we hope to come back when the sandpipers are actually around.

Our first BW stay

This was our first time using Boondockers Welcome and it was fantastic. The region is beautiful, Fred’s farm and RV setup are ideal and they are helpful and charming.

If you are coming from the east make sure you get specific directions from Fred and follow them to the letter.

Highly recommend!!!
