Today we had a good drive. We had to start the day by tackling the construction on the Cabot Trail. It was a slow process and Walt drove over one cone so he only made 10 points for the day. Each cone was valued at 10 points. At one point we were driving right along the water, maybe 5 feet between us and swimming. We had the Lord watching over us and we came through in one piece. The rest of the trip was fairly good roads and we reached our camp site by noon or a little later. When we drove into the park we were amazed. There were sites along one drive way that were parallel with the shore line. Walt directed and I drove the rig until we finally found a spot about 5 feet from the water. You know you trust your husband when he is directing you to back up in the direction of the shore line. My only request was “ tell me to stop before we hit the water.” It ended up being a very nice view once we raised our drivers side about 3 inches to be level. The sunset over the water was great. Since I am the sunset grandma I received my wish for the day.
We also took a short drive along the coast line and it is very rugged. We went off the road about 2 miles up a curvy dirt road and found the most exquisite view of all times. I believe I could have stayed up in that area for a day. The waves were going over some deep water shelves and it made the most fabulous crashing waves against the huge rocks. Some local people were there also and they talk about how the tropical storm in the Bahamas are affecting the waves way up here in this area. They said they are much more dramatic now because of the storm. (Port Bickerton)
We then came back to Shelbrook were our home is located and spent the evening in pure quiet since we cannot get any T.V. or internet hookup. I do hope we have something when we go to Peggy’s Cove on Monday. We certainly should have the things of the modern world since it is close to Halifax.
Time for lights out.!!
