Camped at Grand Codroy RV Park for 2 nights

Last night and tonight we're camped at "Grand Codroy RV Park". Sounds pretty grand eh? Compared to the provincial parks we've been staying at, it is! Electric hookups, laundry on site, and wifi. Luxury! A  big feature is that it's only about a 30 minute drive to the ferry. We'll be heading back to the mainland tomorrow on the 11:45 am ferry.

Yesterday we drove here from the Twillingate area, stopping for lunch at Jungle Jim's in Deer Lake. It doesn't sound too appealing, but we did enjoy it. French onion soup, BLT, Greek salad, chicken quesadillas. Guess we were looking for a change from seafood (gasp)!

It was a very nice day for a drive, until we got to Cornerbrook. The road climbs some serious hills around there, and as we crossed the peak and continued southbound down the other side it was like somebody flipped a switch. The weather went from blue sky and white fluffy clouds, to dark, overcast, light rain and fog. At 3:30 in the afternoon it was like dusk (which hasn't been happening until 9:30-10:00 pm or so) and quite foggy. We were down to 50 kph and slower, straining our eyes looking for the moose that were going to jump out in front of us. Didn't see any though. They do take the moose road hazard seriously here - it was only other Ontario vehicles that were passing us in the fog.

Here at the campground today (Tuesday) it was a beautiful day. Once again, no pictures at all, not sure why. We got some laundry done, and dried some in their propane-fired dryers. No static and no dryer sheets needed in those. We also were able to hang some things out on our own handy clothesline.

We were surprised to discover lots of Black Flies here. They were so sneaky that we had several bites before realizing they were so bad. Likely part of the reason they got us so bad is that we were outside a lot enjoying the pleasant weather.
