Featured Image: For visitors to Saint John, hiking the trail to Ram Head is widely considered to be a must. Beth and I punched our ticket on 13 June, 2016, but not without incident.
From my journal: “With our divide-and-conquer arrangement, this was the first day for Beth and me to venture out on our own. We selected one of the more distant realms of the island – Coral Bay to the east… with snorkeling in Salt Pond Bay and hiking to Ram Head on our to-do list…” I have more sights, sounds and words to share from this day coming up in episode 24 of Rare Air.

Here’s a memory lane wayfinder for our 2016 Saint John adventure, as it lines up here and in Rare Air.
