Irish Loop

Setting off at 1 PM on August 8th from St. John's for the short drive to Witless, Mobile and Ferryland, we stopped at Bay Bulls' tourism information centre to find out the location of RV parks. We were informed that the two parks on the East side of the peninsula did not have electric and water hook ups. The guide said, "Just haul over to the side of the road and park in a gravel pit!"

We had planned on spending over a week in The Irish Loop area. After traveling to south of Ferryland without finding a suitable place to stop, as well as the long miles of driving through wilderness that we could see ahead of us, the decision to turn around 85 kilometers south of St. John's was made. This is not easy towing a large trailer.

We returned to the TCH West and booked back into Bellevue Beach Park. It was like coming home.
Thursday August 9th, high winds and heavy rain soaked most of Newfoundland. We were happy not to be camped in a gravel pit beside the road.
