Coastal Village

Coastal Village

It is a mere 168 kilometers (105 miles) from the provincial campground to Deer Lake (the starting point for the long coastal drive to the ferryboat to Labrador).  However, for me it was a two day trip; there was just too much to see and too many pictures to take.

The main problem (if it can be called a problem) was Cape St. George outside of Stephenville.  Earlier in the day, at the Cape Anguille Lighthouse I had talked to couple of young girls who told me that if I could afford the time, Cape St. George was well worth the hour or so of time that it would take to circumnavigate the Cape.

And so Cape St. George was added to my unscheduled “plan”; but I traveled (or more correctly shot photographs) for more than two hours before even reaching the starting point for the route around the peninsula.  It was clear that there was not enough time left for me to traverse the peninsula.  Questioning my wisdom, I reluctantly turned back for the Trans Canada Highway.

An hour later, despite my days early start, I found myself (at dusk) searching for a campground and then trying to set up my tent before, what was now a light rain, became really intense.

Kindly the rain obliged me and actually fully didn’t develop until the middle of the night when I was long gone.
