GROS MORNE NATIONAL PARK – BONNE BAY BOAT TOUR.
Day 140 – Today we took a boat tour of Bonne Bay. We had reserved two places aboard the 10 a.m. cruise. The weather was good, a little hazy, but warm and mostly sunny with little wind. We took this boat ride in 2019 and enjoyed it. We were surprised when we arrived at the parking lot and found that a group of 38 passengers from a bus tour would be taking the same boat tour.

Day 139 – We took a couple of days off from the blog; now we’re back. It’s warmer here than it was up north – mid 60’s at night; mid 70’s during the day. There’s much less wind and the sun has been out most of the time so far.
WIND BE GONE.
TRAVEL DAY
From: Oceanside RV Park, Port au Choix, NL.
To:Gros Morne/Norris Point KOA, Norris Point, NL.
Day 138 – We were up at 5:30 this morning so that we could leave in plenty of time before the winds got any worse. Supposedly the wind gusts would get stronger beginning around 9 a.m. The wind was strong enough as it was already. After dumping tanks, we departed Port au Choix at 7:35 a.m. It was 63 degrees, sunny but hazy and quite windy.
NEWFOUNDLAND – LAST DAY AT GROS MORNE.
Day 161 – It was 33 degrees this morning but it felt colder than that when we woke up – we’d run out of propane during the night & it got quite cold in the RV. Rob disconnected that external tank & hooked up the RV propane, and we heated it up as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Gracie & Pixie cuddled together on a heated pad.

NEWFOUNDLAND – BRRRR!
Day 160 – It rained last night. When it first started we heard sleet when it hit the roof, but it was mostly rain. It was 33 degrees this morning at 8 a.m. A little windy, cloudy, and that made it feel really cold. There was a dusting of snow on the mountains again.

THINKING OF YOU TODAY, GAIL.
Day 159 – 8 a.m. this morning, 38 degrees, cloudy. It rained last night and a little this morning. We did a load of laundry & just hung around the RV until after lunch. The sun peeked out from the clouds. The high today was a big 48 degrees. We went out in search of the fall colors & to visit several places we hadn’t gotten to last time. It snowed last night & the snow was visible on the mountain tops around the lake. There was snow on the mountains when we got here in May. We’ve come full circle.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RON! THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT; THEY JUST KEEP COMING YEAR AFTER YEAR.
HUGS TO GAIL!
NEWFOUNDLAND – BACK TO GROS MORNE NATIONAL PARK AGAIN.
Day 158 – It was 39 degrees, cloudy, windy and cold at 7:30 a.m. this morning. We checked the weather forecast & there would be less wind up north, so we decided to go ahead & leave this campground for Gros Morne. This would be a return trip to the area & we were hoping for the fall colors to be peaking about now. We departed Dhoon Lodge & RV Resort at 10:45 a.m. The sun was peeking out & we were hoping it would stay out for some good pictures.
