MOOSE MANIA.
Day 133 – We were up at 5 a.m. this morning. It was painful. But when the sun is rising or setting is supposedly the best time to see Moose. We’d been told where to go; our expectations were high. Armed with coffee and cameras, we headed out at a little after 6 a.m. It was a warmish 62 degrees with no wind and lots of clouds – the calm before the storm.
A BOAT TOUR, ANCIENT ROCKS, AND A FULL HARD DRIVE.
Day 132 – Today was the perfect weather for a day by the sea. We awoke to sunny, clear skies. When we left the RV at 8:20 a.m., it was 60 degrees with almost no wind. We drove to St. Lunaire, got gas in the Honda, and arrived at Dark Tickle Expeditions a little early.
VIKING COUNTRY.
Day 131 – It continued raining all night and it was very windy. This morning when we got up the rain & wind had calmed down a bit. We decided to hope for the best and went for a drive to another northern point on the peninsula – L’Anse aux Meadows, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was here that Vikings, led by Leif Erickson, founded the first European settlement in North America a thousand years ago.
A STAY-AT-HOME KIND OF DAY.
Day 130 – It rained last night and all of today, and the wind gusts increased. The low temperature last night was 55 degrees. The high today was 59 degrees. The rain and wind continued. We didn’t go anywhere. When you stay home all day like this, you find out just how lazy your kitties are!
We, too, were lazy. We caught up on a few things, cooked up some Salmon & Brown Rice for dinners so that we wouldn’t have to do anything else but add Vegetables, and generally didn’t do much else. We played a few rounds of Sequence before dinner, and that was about it. There aren’t many people camping here anymore. Tomorrow is another day.
Raleigh, Ship Cove, Cape Onion, and Dark Tickle.
Day 129 – When we got up this morning, it was 52 degrees and cloudy. The weather forecast was for some sun in the morning and rain later in the day. We decided to head out and grab the decent weather while we could. It’s supposed to rain for the next couple of days.
WAY UP NORTH.

Day 128 – The low temperature last night was 50 degrees. Today we are heading to a week near the northernmost part of Newfoundland. REALLY far up there! Pistolet Bay Provincial Park, where we’ll be staying for a week, is just 20 kilometers from the most northern point in Newfoundland.

Day 124 – The threat of rain remained for this afternoon, so we went out for a drive this morning. It was 61 degrees at 7 a.m., very cloudy with no wind. The girls have settled in here and they are happy with the campground. There are still no other campers here, no barking dogs or ATVs roaring around, so they are maintaining their normal schedules of eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, playing, and sleeping.
