NEWFOUNDLAND – BUGS

Day 101 – We woke up early this morning. Mosquitoes were on the rampage in the RV. We’d left most of the windows open all night – we do that often – but the mosquitoes had found a way in. There was no breeze to keep them away; they were out in full force. The girls helped us as we got rid of them, one-by-one, but both of us had gotten a number of itchy bites by then. It didn’t appear they were biting the girls; they were not scratching anyway. It was 57 degrees and foggy at 6:15 a.m.

NEWFOUNDLAND – HARBOUR BRETON TO BUCHANS JUNCTION.

Day 100 – At 7 a.m. it was 62 degrees, sunny & hazy out. We packed up & departed Deadman’s Cove RV Park at 9:30. We had to dump tanks in town at the station provided by the town since there was no dump station at the campground, then we stopped to fill the RV with gas, so it was a little while before we really left town.

187 miles, (4:40), 41381-41568

NEWFOUNDLAND – THE FOG HAS LIFTED.

Day 98 – It was 51 degrees & very foggy this morning at 7:30 a.m.  We tried to return some e-mails & do some other internet-related things, but the signal has been completely gone. We are blogging in between the signal coming & going. At about 11:30, the sun came out here at the campground. We hadn’t seen much of our surroundings for days. Today we could drive to some of the local sights & back to the area we covered Wednesday to see what we’ve been missing.

NEWFOUNDLAND – FOGGED IN, BUT AT LEAST IT WASN’T HOT.

Day 95 – It was very foggy this morning at 7:15, 59 degrees, humid & breezy. We’d intended to take a drive around this beautiful area and get some pictures today. The fog was supposed to burn off by 2 p.m., so we hung around the RV relaxing, doing some food prep for tonight’s cooking, and a couple of loads of laundry at the campground laundry facility, The fog was dense & again, the only sounds we heard were the Sea Gulls.

NEWFOUNDLAND – NOTRE DAME PROVINCIAL PARK TO BUCHANS JUNCTION.

Day 93 – It was 67 degrees and humid this morning when we got up. We checked out the weather situation for the next ten days & decided NOT to leave tomorrow for Leading Tickles & the town park in Point Leamington. If we went south instead of north, the temperatures would be about 20 degrees cooler.

NEWFOUNDLAND – NOTRE DAME PROVINCIAL PARK TO LEADING TICKLES.

Day 92 – Today was the end of Month #3, Trip 6. Our third month’s recap is at the end of today’s blog. Today was 65 degrees this morning at 7 a.m., sunny and it was warming up quickly. We left for a drive; the campground was crowded and we knew it’d be hot & noisy in no time. We headed west and north for a long drive to a town called Leading Tickles, hoping it would be cooler closer to the Notre Dame Bay.
