Morning hike around the island - names of inhabitants were all along this boardwalk
I love that this is a thing in the Atlantic Provinces - Adirondack chairs set out to rest and view the sights. Our camp last night and the van can be seen in the distance
The firs are very stunted but are heavily laden with cones to try to reproduce
A pleasant surprise
Remnants of a sled
Colors
Someone built an inukshuk
More damn stairs!
Northwest Head Light Station
Bogs
And then suddenly a pine forest on the lee side of the island
This man puts up all these flags for the following weekend’s music festival
My dorky husband
The prominent school building at the top of this gravel road is the only thing there - the sign warning that it was a school zone cracked us up
Explored the Ramea museum, which was a mishmash of small town life
This is universal. Old men gathered daily to share companionship and comment on the comings and goings of the community
Headed back to Burgeo
Clearer skies today to see the coast that we will not be going to since it requires a boat to explore it. The ferry only runs a few days to these outposts and none take vehicles
I spotted another basking shark, although this one wasn’t as closes
Left Burgeo and headed inland, through a no mans land. Found a pullout alongside the road to spend the night.
