THE HOOKED MAT COLLECTION AT ENGLEE.
Day 127 – The low temperature last night was 52 degrees. When we got up this morning, it was cloudy and windy, making it feeI blustery and much colder outside. It rained on & off. We’re glad we did all our scenic driving previously.

Day 126 – The low temperature last night was 50 degrees, getting colder already. It was cloudy this morning and it may rain this afternoon, so we went out to visit the last of the remote villages in this area: Conche, Northeast and Southwest Crouse.
MACKEREL.
Day 125 – This morning it was 56 degrees when we got up and cloudy. It was supposed to rain, but the sun came out. You never know! The wind picked up in the afternoon and the sky darkened. Now they are saying no rain. You REALLY never know!

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.
ENGLEE & BIDE ARM.
Day 123 – Wow, last night we each had a Sticky Bun from The Bakery in Port au Choix. They were incredible, and the reviews were spot on. We checked our calendar to find out if we’d next be in Port au Choix on a Saturday – and we will! Oh boy! Grin.
BAKED GOODS, ROUGH ROAD, AND MOOSE.

Day 122 – At 7:15 a.m. this morning, it was 62 degrees and raining. It had started raining in the middle of the night. The wind had picked up, too. We began packing up to leave, but took a break from that to go into town to The Bakery, which had gotten rave reviews but was only open on Saturdays.
NEWFOUNDLAND – ICEBERGS GALORE.
Day 41 – We went to bed early last night, when it was still light out. Of course, that doesn’t mean much when it’s light for 16 hours a day. But we wanted to head out early this morning, so we purposely hit the sack earlier than usual. It was only supposed to be sunny until noon; we needed to get out & get pictures early. It was 44 degrees this morning at 6 a.m. and sunny.
NEWFOUNDLAND – ENGLEE IN THE SUN.
Day 40 – It rained hard last night. This morning there were lovely, billowy white clouds and some sun & 45 degrees with little wind. The forecast was for increasing clouds & maybe more rain this afternoon, so we headed out at 10 a.m. to take some pictures.
NEWFOUNDLAND – BIDE ARM & RODDICKTON.
Day 39 – It was warmer this morning when we got up, 44 degrees & very cloudy. We packed up the RV and drove it into Bide Arm about 10 minutes away from the campground. There is no dumping station or water at the Park, so Bide Arm is where we have to go to take care of these things. We dumped the tanks and filled up with fresh water from the spigot at the Ashton House (as instructed to do so by the Town Clerk when we checked in).
NEWFOUNDLAND – RAIN & WIND.
Day 38 – It rained all night and continued throughout the day – buckets and buckets of rain. The wind was strong, supposedly sustained up to 21 MPH, then definitely with higher gusts. It was 39 degrees when we got up and the high today was 41 degrees. Certainly much different than yesterday! Oh, and when we got up we had no power. The electricity came back on late morning. It wasn’t a problem though; we used the batteries and the generator. We didn’t leave the RV at all & the girls loved it. We caught up on some paperwork & did lots of reading. The rain stopped at around sunset and the wind died down at the same time. The fog rolled in. This was the only night so far that we didn’t hear the Loons calling from the bay below us.
