Day 14 Placentia Junction to Woodford Station 41k

Our evening camping at the "Mundy Pond Murphys" spot was starlit but cool, and overnight we had a visit from a posse of 5 ATVs looking for their own site, and a moose just passing through. No video evidence of the moose but Smitty swears he heard one! The cool morning sped up our final camp breakfast of steel cut oats with dried fruit, and our usual EXCELLENT percolated coffee.

We were on the road by 7:45am, earlier than usual, quickly warmed up by the rising sun, and soon passed through Whitbourne, Ocean Pond, Brigus Junction and Avondale.

In Chapel's Cove we called it a day and spent the afternoon and evening with family and friends at Cathy and Rick's place, resting up for our final day tomorrow. The end of our journey will be the "Mile 0" sign by the train station in downtown St. John's at 3pm on Sunday.

Trail Conditions: Excellent
Weather: Cool start but quickly sunny and warm
Issues: None
Distance Today: 41k
Distance So Far: 828k
