Another Day

JUNE 20, 2017  TUESDAY

Woke up to rain and more wind.  Took our time packing up for the trip today to Chester, NS.  We have reservations at Graves Island Provincial Park. 

For the trip to Chester we took the better road (103).  It was a good idea as it rained to whole way and was again foggy.  Some of the rain was very heavy but Jim did a great job of getting us to Chester safely.

Thankfully, the rain had stopped when we got to Chester and we found the campground with no problem.  The park is located on a small island.  There is a one lane but short causeway to the island and we checked in with no problem.

 Set up camp quickly.  The site we have (#30) is very wide and deep so we had no trouble pulling in.  We can see the bay and out into the ocean but it would be better with no fog on the water.

That's us on the right.  You can see the water further down.


Had a great night with more wind and some rain.  Tomorrow we visit Lunenburg.

OOPS!!

July 10, 2017  Monday Gorgeous morning in this beautiful campground.  Our site is surrounded by birch trees and the light coming through the leaves is so serene.  We plan to head out to our next destination…Gros Morne National Park.  We have reservations at the Gros Morne/Norris Point KOA. After packing up we started out.  Jim, of course, was driving the motorhome and I was guiding…somewhat.  I was in front and watching to make sure Jim did not hit any of the trees in front.  We had looked all around the motorhome and thought we had plenty of touring radius…we were sadly wrong.  As Jim was turning and I was watching I heard a horrible cracking.  Of course, I had Jim stop immediately.  I walked around to find a tree…a multi-trunk tree stuck in the back of the motorhome.  We hit the tree just at the seam where the side panels and the cap end come together.  The passenger side cap was pulled away and the access door for t...

Doyles Day 2

July 21, 2017  Friday Had a cool night last night.  Took our time getting ready this morning.  Finally headed out on our car tour.  Drove up the 406 to the Cape Anguille lighthouse.  Gorgeous coastline.  Lots of wild flowers and rocks.  We met a couple…never got their names…who just arrived yesterday off the ferry from Nova Scotia.  They are just beginning their Newfoundland trip.  They did recommend a place to eat in PEI.  Michael Smith, famous Canadian chef, has a restaurant named “Fireworks” in Bay of Fortune.  He prepares a feast on the large property.  It is expensive but those people said it’s worth it.  We’ll check that out. We left the lighthouse and stopped at the Anglican Church and cemetary.  It sits right on the coast.  We walked around and looked at the tombstones.  Looks like some sad stories from times long ago. On our way back to the campground we decided to stop at the Grand Cod...
