We are REALLY counting our blessings as we start our 13th day of riding with yet again spectacular weather. After a breakfast of cheesy avocado omelettes with beans and naan toast, sunny skies and t-shirt temperatures followed us from Arnold’s Cove to Long Harbour where we refueled with JPB sandwiches and 45 minutes basking in the sun.
Pushing on to our destination of Placentia Junction we found Harry chatting with a Mr. Edison who gave us directions to an EXCELLENT camping site a couple of miles further along. Quickly setting up camp (we’re getting good at it!) we cooled off with a beverage while Cathy prepared our moose chilli with black beans and couscous, Jim tended to his minor road rash from a little spill, and Harry and Smitty gathered wood for Smitty’s lesson in lighting a fire!
This is our final night camping as we head to Chapel’s Cove tomorrow for the final night of our journey.
Trail Conditions: Excellent
Weather: Sunny and warm
Issues: Minor road rash from Jim’s spill; bruised rib from Cathy’s spill
