We were able to keep the trailer hooked up to the car overnight at Green Point, so had a nice easy start today. 11C, a beautiful day for a drive.
We saw a large Bald Eagle sitting in a treetop near Bonne Bay looking for fish, and a silver fox hunting near the highway.
We stopped for lunch and a mall walk in Grand Falls, having a good cod bits & chips at a mall restaurant the tourist info lady recommended. We also got one of our 20 lb propane tanks filled at a nearby station, after 2 years of camping use.
It's the long weekend, and camping is fairly busy generally. We've had no problems finding sites though. By 3:15 we were parked at an unserviced site in the Dildo Run Provincial park. They did have one serviced site left, where we could have run our electric heater, but they warned us it was in a party area, so not for us. We expected to do more day tripping in the area, so signed up for 3 nights.
We've camped on non-hookup sites at the previous Provincial parks too, 5 nights plus the 3 nights here. It's working out ok, but means we have to limit our furnace use, as its fan is our biggest consumer of battery power. Solar is too expensive yet. Some changes I made to the Tahoe last year have worked well for charging up the laptop and cell phones as we drive.
