Happy Birthday, Karen O! We hope you had a wonderful day.
FINAL DAY IN NEWFOUNDLAND (THIS TRIP.)
Day 161 – It was 40 degrees when we got up this morning, NOT worthy of last night’s frost warning. The high temperature today briefly reached 55 degrees – full clouds all day. Our big journey for today was to drop a couple of outgoing items in the box at the local post office, less than a mile from the campground. We had to come back to the RV and nap, it was just so taxing. LOL.

TRAVEL DAY
From: Dhoon Lodge & RV Resort, Black Duck Siding, NL.
To:Grand Codroy RV/Tent Camping, Doyles, NL.
Day 160 – Last night we had a freeze warning predicting the possibility of frost, protect your crops and all that. We were surprised to find the low last night was 33.8 degrees. It’s almost October; in 2019 when we were here, it snowed in early October.
Happy Birthday, Duane! We hope you are doing well!
THE ROAD TO BURGEO.
Day 159 – Fifty degrees this morning with partial sun, the weather forecast said no rain & manageable winds; so we took the trip to Burgeo to check out the scenery and the rough road conditions. We’d never been to Burgeo because the drive is long, and because of what we’ve read and from what we’ve heard from numerous people about the road.
THE RED FOX, THE WATERFALLS, AND THE VILLAGE AT THE END OF THE ROAD.
Day 158 – Cold again last night, the low last night was 43 degrees. This morning, it was cloudy and rain was supposed to start in the afternoon. We took a drive around the Port au Port peninsula to see a couple of areas we didn’t see last time we were here.
TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF FALL.
Day 157 – More like winter here. The low temperature last night was 39 degrees. When we went to bed, it was raining and we thought we might see snow this morning. We did not, but it was very cloudy today, windy with some rain, and a high of 59 degrees
Due to the lousy weather, we stayed at the RV Park today. Neither one of us was feeling real chipper. We just relaxed with the girls – who were feeling just fine. Some days are like that and you feel the need to just kick back and not do very much. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully it will bring good weather.
A CHANGE OF PLANS.
TRAVEL DAY
From: Kinsmen Prince Edward RV Park & Campground, Corner Brook, NL.
To: Dhoon Lodge & RV Resort, Black Duck Siding, NL.
Day 156 – It was 42 degrees this morning when we got up, but the sun was out. Yaay! Today we were going to move southwest to the tip of the Port au Port peninsula. There is a campground there on the top of a cliff overlooking the open ocean. It’s a town park called Parc Boutte du Cap. It’s very isolated in an incredibly beautiful location.
THE NORTH HUMBER ARM PENINSULA.
Day 155 – It rained some during the night and continued raining on & off throughout the day. The low temperature last night was 50 degrees, and the high today was only 53. We left at 11 a.m. for a drive along the northern arm of the Humber River/Bay of Islands.
RAINY DAY.
Day 154 – Another rainy day today. The low temperature last night was 55 degrees. Today it reached 60, briefly. It’s quite muddy out. We stayed inside all day and did lots of cooking, making a Pesto Shrimp Scampi and a couple of loaves of Garlic Bread. We’re sure that between the two items, the garlic can be smelled for miles and miles. The girls liked having us here all day. We’re lucky they don’t seem to mind the garlic! We’re throwing in some kitty pictures for today’s blog post.

Day 153 – It was 51 degrees this morning with dense clouds. It wasn’t supposed to rain until 2 p.m., so we went for a drive in the mountains north of Corner Brook, thinking the sun might come out for some pictures and views. Didn’t happen. It began raining at 11 a.m. and it rained all day. The high temperature today was 55 degrees.
THE SOUTH HUMBER ARM PENINSULA.
Day 152 – It was 57 degrees this morning when we got up, and it reached 62 degrees today. From the weather forecast, it looked like today would be the best day for a longer scenic drive. It’s supposed to rain the next three days.
