| Triple Falls RV Park after the rain |
It was one of those rare days where we made no sightseeing stops but did enjoy the scenery as we motored south. It was mainly cloudy, a few sprinkles of rain to start and a cool 10º when we left St. Anthony taking a different highway, Route 432 down the interior of the peninsula for approximately 100 km before coming back out to the coast. Bad mistake. It was the worst highway yet.... terrible condition for much of it ... pot holes, frost heaves where the pavement was cracked. We slowed often to 40 - 50 km/h.
Back on Route 430 S we stopped in River of Ponds at a walking trail parking lot to have lunch. We made two more stops for gas: enough in Rocky Harbour to get us to the Esso station in Cormack on the highway. It was nice to see gas down 4 cents to $1.67/ l.
The scenery was still stunning under mainly cloudy skies as we drove out of Gros Morne National Park. We returned to the Gateway To The North RV Park in Deer Lake. We travelled 428 km.
We had a bit of a mix-up in getting a site. We were told to pick a site in a certain row. We did and were told after we had set up that the site was taken for 4 nights (the people had left for the day) and we'd have to move. We were not impressed.😠 The campground owner was very apologetic and brought us a peace offering of fresh frozen cod filets from his personal freezer. 🐟🐟
