Tuesday Aug 4





Notre Dame Prov. Campground
Near Grand Falls/ Windsor
Raining 200 C


There was a boil order warning on the water at the campground so we boiled and made coffee and breakfast while waiting for the tent to dry some.
Then off on the “Road to the Isles” out past chapel Island, New World Island, Fogo Island, moreton’s Harbour, Twillingate and out to Crow’s Head. By the time we had gotten to New World Island the sky had cleared and the sun was beaming down hard.
The view from the causeway between Chapel and New World Island was spectacular to say the least; either side with huge bays populated with numerous small islands and coves as far as the eye can see! And the trip all the way to Crow’s Head didn’t disappoint either! There is an amazing vista from the viewing station on a high promontory at the end of the island overlooking `Iceberg Alley`! Unfortunately we were three weeks too late to see a large tabulated iceberg fetch up at the mouth of Back Harbour!
Next, two Possibilities: camp in Dildo Run or push on out towards Gander via Victoria Cove. to camp in Terra Nova National Park.
