Our
beautiful travel day started at 9:30 a.m.
Through
mountains and around dozens of ponds we traveled on TCH 1 then had 20 miles of
hills and valleys on two lane roads.
Arriving
around 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon, we were directed into our back-in sites by
Barry.
Paradise Farm Trailer Park has
views of fields, barns and ponds, surrounded by pines.
We were
greeted by Chris, our RV Park owner, at 3:30 with a complete introduction to
the area and what we would see tomorrow.
Chris,
dressed as the town crier, came after dinner with a group of “newfies” to
conduct our “Screech In” ceremony, making us honorary Newfoundlanders. The newfies were Jan Holter, Mercedes Wilson,
Judy Douglass, and Guy Grube.
The ceremony
included hard tack, dried bread, roe and screech, a Newfoundland Rum that is
downed in one gulp. Screech is very
strong and burns all the way down. Our
next task was to “kiss the cod” Chris had caught that morning. It was a very wet kiss.
As Newfies
we had a greater appreciation of the beautiful province of Newfoundland.
Thanks to
all for providing pictures.
