Day Seventy Two
Today we are headed back up north towards Bottle Cove, along the Captain James Cook trail. The trail follows the shore to the land points Cook mentions during his five year project mapping Newfoundland. Bottle cove being the furthest stop on the trail was said to offer a spectacular view.
The day was absolutely beautiful and little traffic was on the roads. We slowly took our time, stopping at anything that would catch our eye along the way. When we began the approach into Bottle Cove, a fog bank had rolled in eliminating all visibility in the cove, we were in disbelief.
Out of curiosity, we continued to travel the road southwest to see where it would take us. Within minutes of leaving the cove, the fog cleared up and the blue skies were back. The road ended in a small harbour called Little Port Pier. We took in the scenery along with some photos and turned back towards the Blow Me Down Provincial Park.
We arrived in the park shortly after one. The ranger station located at the front gate was holding a free BBQ with hotdogs, pop, and cake in celebration of Canada Day. We enjoyed a hotdog each, and Lori sweet talked the ranger for an additional hotdog for two mongrels that had their faces pressed against the window of the truck. We chatted with the ranger for a little, and was informed there was no entry fee on the park today. We took the opportunity and explored the park. After our visit to the park, the time was getting close to three o’clock and we head home, putting our arrival to the RV just in time for supper.
