Kings Landing is a living history site on the St. John River a short
distance west of Frederickton. It portrays farming and village life in
the early 19th century in New Brunswick.
A horse walking a treadmill to power a saw for cutting logs. I guess you could call this a "one-horsepower" saw.
Kings
Landing has a program for children to spend several days experiencing
life in the 19th century. These girls, who are gathered for lunch, are
part of that program.
Our
next stop was Magnetic Hill, which is in Moncton. Supposedly, things
roll uphill here. The procedure is to drive to white post, which
appears to be downhill from where I was standing to take this picture.
Then put your vehicle in neutral and take your foot off the brake. The
vehicle then rolls back "uphill", as Ed is demonstrating with his
Roadtrek. It is an optical illusion induced by the way the trees have
grown. Standing where I took the picture, you would swear that the post
is at a lower altitude, but in fact, it is ten feet higher. Although it
looks like Ed is rolling uphill, he is in fact rolling downhill.
