SALVAGE.

Day 65 – We slept really hard last night. The Park was quiet, it had cooled down nicely, and we were tired from the long day. The low last night was 54 degrees. When we got up, it was quite murky out and 66 degrees. We spent some time this morning in the screened tent. Then after lunch, we took a drive.

FAREWELL FOGO.

TRAVEL DAY

From: Brimstone Head RV Park, Fogo Island, NL.

To: Terra Nova National Park, Newman Sound Campground, Glovertown, NL.

Day 64 – At 5 a.m. this morning, it was 51 degrees and clear out. It was much warmer and it looked like it would be nice day again today. We were up early because we had to catch a ferry, and our time on Fogo Island was over. As Rob was hooking the Honda back up to the RV for our drive to the ferry terminal, a group of Northern Gannets flew into the cove and took turns diving for herring. As many as five Gannets dove straight down into the water at the same time, very close to each other, and not far from where we were parked. Because we were busy hitching up the car and getting ready to leave, we didn’t have the cameras ready. It was still amazing to see.

NEWFOUNDLAND – VIRGIN TERRITORY.

Day 43 – We got spoiled having the entire Armistice RV Park to ourselves. Last night at this campground in Deer Lake, people nearby had their country music blaring and they were shouting back & forth with some arguing going on. We both had to put in earplugs at bed time. We got up a little before 7 a.m. this morning; 42 degrees and cloudy. No Red Foxes to greet us. Today we are driving into virgin territory, roads we’ve never been on before as we head from Deer Lake east on the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) to Terra Nova National Park.
