Points East, Prince Edward Island

Bellevue Beach Campground
Sunday, September 1, 2019 Before leaving Frenchman’s Cove Provincial Park, we took a little walk over to the golf course that is such a big attraction here. This is a very nice park with a great staff, and now I see the biggest attraction – this very nice golf course. Driving back up the Burin…

Drive Back Down Coast to Shallow Bay Campground
Friday, August 2, 2019 It had been rainy, cloudy and cold in Pistolet Bay for three days, and it was getting to Martha. She talked about how cloudy and cold makes her sad. 46 years of marriage, and I am still learning. I went to Woodward GMC in St. Anthony’s to have the oil changed.…

Cape Onion/L’anse Au Meadows
Wednesday, July 31, 2019 The couple that stopped to talk at Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve yesterday, told us to go to Onion Cove, up past a cemetery. It’s a good place to spot whales. We drove up there to find one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. There were no whales, but we…

Tahquamenon Falls

It rained hard again last night, so the river was rocking. This is a beautiful area you could explore for a long time. There are…

Scouting Betsie and Platte Rivers
Thursday, September 27, 2018 It was a chilly, blustery morning with dark, fast-moving clouds. The Platte River is a perfect river for us to kayak, so we went to check it out. It is a beautiful, free-flowing, clear stream that travels 26 miles into Lake Michigan in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore. The trouble is…

Hunting Island Day 1
Monday, May 7, 2018 It’s always fun arriving at a new place, anxious to explore and see what is here. We walked out the long boardwalk into a huge marsh. It was low tide and they haven’t had rain for 12 days, so the only water was in the creeks. I was disappointed not to…
