After the wind died down, we had a good sleep.
The following morning, I took a quick walk around the truck and trailer to determine all of our possessions were present and accounted for.
We hit the road, ready for another long driving day to the east coast of Newfoundland, then headed south towards our campsite about 15 minutes from the ferry terminal.
On our drive south along the coast, we cautiously passed through Wreckhouse which is well known for extremely high winds.
Situated at the southern end of the Long Range Mountains at the western mouth of the Codroy Valley, the name is earned because high winds – often well in excess of hurricane force, are a hazard to RV’s, travel trailers and transport trucks.
We continued south to spend two nights at JT Cheeseman Campground. The post cyclone weather had settled down, and we gave the system time to handle the backlog, so we made a reservation to sail a few days later.
JT Cheeseman Campground was well situated, and it gave us a few days of rest and relaxation. During our stay, we were without cellular and wi-fi. We didn’t have any water, sewer or power hookups – we were OFF THE GRID and loved it.
We took long walks along the beach under clear blue skies, the waves gently washing over the sand, plovers running in synchronization to catch shrimp. We noticed lots of dead marine life washed up after cyclone. Chloe wanted to eat everything – like a seafood smorgasbord. Susan was grossed out by all the slimy things.
To pass the time, Susan collected and started painting rocks while I caught up on reading.
These will be a fun way to bring more traffic to our Instagram, Facebook, and Website Blog.
During our stay, I heard the sound of a waterfall in the distance, and after a short walk, we explored the area to be rewarded with a lovely view.
After two days, we were rested and ready to leave Newfoundland. Our two weeks on “the rock” were amazing.
