Yesterday evening we arrived at Farillon National Park. Often called “A Gem at Land’s End”, this is almost as Far East as we will travel. Our campsite faces the St. Lawrence. We take our coffee down to the beach and watch the seals swim by.
This morning we hiked to the Phare de Cap Gaspe. It is still a functioning lighthouse. At one time they fired a cannon to warn approaching ships. Now they have eight powerful electronic fog horns. Once you reach the light house you can descend another 385 metres to lands-end to see the rocks. It is easy to see why they would want to keep the ships off! When a hiker approaches you shouting “Il y a ours sur le sentier” it’s handy to know a little French. There was and we headed the other way, but not before I got my new friend to airdrop his pic. It’s six degrees, there is a storm surge, and 90 km/h winds this evening. Miss Boler is hanging in there. You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.
