Been working in the house too long so time for a break from pulling walls down and rebuilding walls.
Left Durham about 11 a.m. Stopped in Hanover for supplies then on to Point Farms.
Very quiet in the park, so had the pick of many good sites, took #145. All set up by 1.30 p.m. just in time for lunch.
Sat around the site for a while after lunch then took the trail to the beach.
Quite windy along the beach but brilliant sunshine, and as you can see, no one in sight for miles. May be everyone knew we were heading here so they stayed away.
Took the usual 131 steps up from the beach.
Getting used to it now. Still really pretty to look around from the steps.
Wandered the trails from the beach. The Hare's Trail, Tortoise's Trail then onto the Old Farms Trail.
Great weather for walking.
Saw the Group fire pit. Not an inviting looking place really. I certainly would not like to be there after dark!
Carried on along the trails back to our site and just in time for Happy Hour.
Then my Chef appeared to BBQ supper.
He's a good Guy!
Campfire was excellent, which was a good thing as the evening was quite cool. We sat outside until about 9.30 p.m. when we could hear a pack of Coyotes howling and barking.
OK, they are very loud, there sounds like there could be quite a large pack of them and they are getting louder. Does that mean they are getting closer? Me - I am not waiting to find out. I am heading into El Campista, right now. Guess what - Mike was right there too.
Nite Nite.
Thursday 27th September.
Cool, sunny morning so looking forward to hitting the trails.
First headed to the stairs to take us down to the beach.
Really pleasant along the beach. Quite a bit calmer than yesterday and certainly a fair bit warmer in the sunshine.
We actually saw someone walking their dog.
From there we headed through the trail to the northern end of the park towards the Ravine Trail.
Yes we are here to do that trail again, and yes it is still very pretty and still a little scary. You could walk off the ravine/bluff very easily.
Once again took too many pictures, but it quite fascinating walking in the tree tops.
About half way along the trail we met up with another lady. This one had two dogs. Both very well behaved. The lady also!
From the end of the Ravine Trail we got onto the Old Farms Trail. We had never done this part of the trail. It runs the perimeter of the park and is very well groomed and signed. It made a very easy walk after the ups and downs of the Ravine
Trail.
It had got quite sunny and warm so the shady areas of the trail were very welcome.
Back to our site after about2 1/2 hour hike, very enjoyable too.
Leisurely lunch and relaxing afternoon moving around the sit to stay in the sunshine.
Walked around the camp ground trails early evening. Then lit the fire, as it had cooled off again.
I did walk to the look out point to take a picture of the sunset, while my Chef did supper.
All in all a really great day.
Friday 28th September
Time to get back to building walls, even though it is . one again, brilliant sunshine. A little cool right now but still really nice.
All packed and ready to leave 12 p.m. 310880
Took different route back as we stopped in St. Jacobs to get another wheel cover for El Campista, as we had lost one on the trip out.
Got back home about 4 p.m. 311098.
All unpacked and sitting around our own camp fire by 5 p.m.
Catch you all very soon - hopefully!
