It was only 2C this morning, another furnace morning. This park had really good drinking water, so we filled our water tank before leaving. We saw another moose on the way out, and some whale spouts off the western coast as we cruised by.
We're leaving Pistolet Bay today, heading to Green Point campground in Gros Morne park. We had a look at this park on our way north, and it has some nice sites.
Not too far south we noticed a ferry arriving from Labrador, at Pidgeon Cove / St Barbe. The Labrador coast is relatively close here, easily visible, but still a 1 hr 45 minute ferry ride. The ferry is not a large as the one we took to Newfoundland, but still a good size:
Here's a short video of the nose opening and the ramp lowering. This is where vehicles unload and load here. They must back in to the dock at the Labrador end, like they did in Port Aux Basques on our arrival in Nfld, so nobody has to drive in reverse on the ferry:
We were camped at Green Point park by about 1pm, so had our pick of sites. No hookups, pretty basic. More expensive that the Nfld Provincial Parks, this unserviced site was $15.70 for the night. It would have been another $18 for the required day pass, if not for our annual National Parks pass! No seniors discounts.
A really pretty spot though, on a pretty day:
