The Rock

Image
I tried to come up with a clever name for this post but honestly, nothing is more suitable than ”The Rock” Our journey doesn’t begin in Newfoundland, it actually begins in Stewiack Nova Scotia. When we were figuring out how we would get to Newfoundland we weighed out all of our options and each time we did the math along with the days we had, it came down to flying instead of driving and taking a 14 hour ferry ride or a 6 hour ferry with a 10 hour drive. It was half the price to fly but we would have to do something with our truck and tiny home on wheels. This is where Stewiack NS comes in. While surfing the net I came across Gourley Holdings “Store it Here.” Chris Gourley answered the phone and when I inquired about storing our truck and trailer while we go to Nfld, he said he has people do it all the time. His storage lot is only about 20 mins to the airport so we thought this is perfect. But it gets more perfect. Chris then says for a small fee he will also drop us off and pi...

Turn Around, Go Back

We flew back from Newfoundland without incident or turbulence thankfully and as promised Mr. Gouley was there to pick us up when our flight arrived. We picked up our trailer and headed straight to our campsite at Laurie Provincial Park. A stunning park right on a lake. We got the bikes out and went for a ride that night and then again the next morning. It was still a bit on the chilly side so we didn't bother trying to go for a swim. I was excited because we were having company join us for dinner. I have a friend from Banff named Barb who lives 20 mins from Peggy's cove. We have been in contact since we arrived on the east coast and she happily agreed to drive the 2 hours to our campsite for dinner. That is one thing that has astonished me. The lengths that people have gone out of their way to see us. We are so blessed to have so many great people in our lives. We had such a great visit and it was lovely to meet her partner as well. We figured it had been about 6 years si...

Poutine, Boondocking, Lobster, and a Lighthouse

Our drive from Long Sault Parkway was a bit arduous. The French have a bit of a reputation when it comes to their driving skills and driving to Quebec City made us think the reputation has been earned, (respectfully).  We found a campground outside of Quebec City that seemed to suit our needs. A cool place called Camping De La Joie. It touted full hook ups, showers, a pool and close proximity to downtown. I suggest making a reservation at this place if you intend on going there, even for this time of year, it seemed busy and I know why. The service there is impeccable. First off, wifi is $2 per day in your campsite or free if you are at the front gate. When we arrived they asked if we would like to take the shuttle downtown instead of driving our truck. They would pick us up in the morning and bring us right to our campsite at either 1:30, 6:30 or 10:30 pm giving us lots of options for the day. We took the 9:00 a.m. shuttle into the city and were instantly blown away by its beauty...
