HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

Day 73 – It was cloudy today and very windy with a low of 60 degrees and a high of 63 degrees. The two women in the Van left. Later in the day another Van arrived and they stayed the night – we never saw the people. And a Class C RV arrived with 3 people, mom & dad & son. After unpacking, the man came out and sat by the cliff looking at the water and playing the guitar. The boy came out with a trumpet and attempted (grin) to play along. They stayed one night, also. Otherwise, no one but us has been camping here.

A FOGGY/SUNNY DAY.

Day 72 – It was gorgeous out when we got up, sunny with no wind, 60 degrees. A little later the fog began rolling in. It was beautiful as the fog came in to cover the cliffs. By 9 a.m., it was very windy & 68 degrees with dense fog. A little later the fog rolled out and it was sunny again. The wind decreased. Ever changing.

A NICE SURPRISE.

TRAVEL DAY

From: Lockston Path Provincial Park, near Port Rexton, NL.

To:Grate’s Cove Free RV Parking, Grate’s Cove, NL.

Day 71 – We got up at 5 a.m., a lousy time to wake up but since we were awake anyway and we had one of our longer traveling days ahead of us, why not go ahead and get up. Yawn! It was 55 degrees and cloudy. Lockston Path Provincial Park was beginning to get more crowded and was a bit noisy last night as people that came in today and had settled in near us, cranked up their TV and turned their kids loose. The NL vacation season had begun; school let out the end of last week. We’ll now see a big difference in campsite availability.

A BUSY DAY AT THE RV.

Day 70 – There were some more things we could’ve done in the Bonavista/Trinity area, but the weather forecast called for a cloudy day. Since we’d spent the previous two days away from the girls and we had some chores that needed to be done, we decided to stay at the campsite today. As usual, it turned out the weather forecast was wrong. It was sunny & clear until 3:30 p.m. Thank goodness for that – we had a problem doing laundry at the campground and had to dry four loads of already-washed laundry the old fashioned way.

SALVAGE.

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.
