TRAVEL DAY
From: Terra Nova National Park, Newman Sound Campground, near Glovertown, NL.
To: Lockston Path Provincial Park, near Port Rexton, NL.
Day 67 – The low last night was 58 degrees and it was overcast when we got up. Soon thereafter it started raining. The rain continued on and off throughout the day, and it was definitely cooler today.
ANOTHER HOT DAY.
Day 66 – It was a comfortable morning and we spent most of it outside in the screened tent. By lunch time we had to shut the windows in the RV and turn on the air conditioner. We remained mostly inside after that. The cats really like having the windows open.

Day 65 – We slept really hard last night. The Park was quiet, it had cooled down nicely, and we were tired from the long day. The low last night was 54 degrees. When we got up, it was quite murky out and 66 degrees. We spent some time this morning in the screened tent. Then after lunch, we took a drive.
FAREWELL FOGO.
TRAVEL DAY
From: Brimstone Head RV Park, Fogo Island, NL.
To: Terra Nova National Park, Newman Sound Campground, Glovertown, NL.
Day 64 – At 5 a.m. this morning, it was 51 degrees and clear out. It was much warmer and it looked like it would be nice day again today. We were up early because we had to catch a ferry, and our time on Fogo Island was over. As Rob was hooking the Honda back up to the RV for our drive to the ferry terminal, a group of Northern Gannets flew into the cove and took turns diving for herring. As many as five Gannets dove straight down into the water at the same time, very close to each other, and not far from where we were parked. Because we were busy hitching up the car and getting ready to leave, we didn’t have the cameras ready. It was still amazing to see.
SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY HERE.
Day 63 – And it arrived here today. It was 35 degrees this morning when we got up, not quite frost-advisory weather as was predicted. We woke up to very dense fog. Discouraged, we decided not to rush off to catch the ferry to Change Islands. By 9:35 a.m. the fog was gone and it was brightly sunny. How nice!

Day 63 – The low was 39 degrees and it rained hard all night. It only reached 42 degrees today, and there’s a frost advisory for tonight. Tomorrow is supposedly the longest day of the year. Does that mean it will clear up and start being warmer then?

Day 61 – The low temperature last night was 37 degrees. When we got up this morning, it was 40 and raining lightly, still foggy. Since it’s raining, we plan to stay at the RV until we leave for an early dinner. Bang Belly is closed Tuesday & Wednesday, and we’re leaving the Island Thursday morning. This will be our last chance to try them for dinner this trip.

Day 60 – It was 38 degrees this morning with dense fog. There’s a folk song we heard in Newfoundland several times when we were here in 2019; it’s called “Grey Foggy Day”. We wonder where they got the idea for this song?! https://youtu.be/uY2nVUXeXzY

Day 59 – It was 41 degrees this morning and not raining. The fog was dense; it was not windy. Not a great day for taking pictures due to the fog, we decided to check out some things on the island (like is there any way we can get a propane tank refilled; where is the dump station; where do we get gasoline; where are the seafood co-ops where we can get local fish to take with us; and most importantly, where is the island’s best restaurant?).
GOOD LUCK, GAIL!
TRAVEL DAY
From: Peyton’s Woods RV Park & Campground, Twillingate, NL.
To: Brimstone Head RV Park, Fogo Island, NL.
Day 58 – It rained last night and was still raining this morning when we got up. At 6:30 a.m. it was 46 degrees. We departed Peyton’s Woods at 9 a.m. after dumping tanks. The temperature had dropped to 41 degrees; it was windy & raining. Certainly not a good day for taking pictures from a ferry.
