As seen from the other side
Our campsite, last night, was very comfortable. With the combination of our electric space heater and our new sleeping bag liners, the outside never bothered the inside. I could have stayed for another day, in a place where one of the electoral postulates is an actual C&W celebrity, but we had to keep movin’ on.
Across the water from home, we sometimes see a coastal beacon. This morning, we followed the roadsigns. Up to the Cape St. George light, out to admire a funky wildlife spotting antenna array and then, down the other side. All the way to St.FX City, where we had lunch, found single-ply TP and tanked full. Then, off to the Causeway and beyond.
We ignored our traditional path and crossed over near Lake Ainslie. Intermittent sun and showers; the colours of autumn in wet and dry values. The GPS took us out the back way to the park entrance, where we sited ourselves and then went to finish up the inevitable paper work. I am good with the concept of daily camping fees. Less so with the notion of purchasing an entry pass to reach that same campsite. Governments do abuse the “fees” section of their responsibility list.
Also, please crank up the field strength on your park wifi. I know it is active; I just can’t connect. One bar, from time to time? Are you a Bell affiliate?
It doesn’t matter. This is not a contest to “beat the clock”, and when I’m able to go to bed at dusk, I can finally say “camping bliss!”
