Shoal Brook – Water’s Edge
We booked August 2nd and 3rd to spend some more time in Gros Morne Park. After a very relaxing afternoon at the River of Ponds, where we had much needed downtime, we headed back to Gros Morne and a spot right on the ocean at Waters Edge in Shoal Brook. It was another back in. Don will soon be a pro. Beautiful. Right on Bonne Bay near Woody Point.
After unhooking, we drove up to the Discovery Centre to find out more about the guided hike to the Tablelands the next morning. That side of Gros Morne Park is pretty spectacular. We did a quick run through Woody Point and then back to the rig for dinner.
The next morning we made the 20 minute drive to the parking lot and headed off to explore another absolutely fascinating geological location. It was weird to think we were walking on ancient ocean floor. It looked like the moon.
After our hike, we drove to Trout River and then back to explore Woody Point. We had been thinking it would be nice to eat out and that’s when I discovered that it probably would not be a good thing for me to eat out. Too much seafood on the menus and the possibility of cross contamination so much to Don’s dismay, we had to go back to cook our own food. we spent our last afternoon in Gros M9rne sitting behind our rig on the ocean watching the local fishermen going for mackerel and cod right from the beach.
Once again the water was not potable. The source was a dam up on the mountain and it could be accessed by moose and other critters. So many boil water advisories on that side of Newfoundland.
Once again, once I find better wifi, I will upload the photos.
