I awoke to a calm lake lightly blanketed by the morning mist. As I packed my things up I took my time taking in the view, such a wonderful display of nature lay before me. Having got some food in me and showering up I hit the road, a big drive ahead.
I thought it might rain all day with the sky a thick white bundle of clouds. I was feeling cheerful despite the cloudy weather, continually admiring what the landscape had to offer in its misty state. To my surprise, soon the clouds cleared up and blue skies revealed themselves.
The roads rolled like the swell from a great boat moving across a calm body of water, climbing and descending, winding and weaving. The pavement would often turn to gravel roads that became a stressful navigation.
The journey took me past many sights, one being a massive dam that towered above me. I wondered how much power they harnessed from the falling water within its thick concrete walls.
Often the lakes and rivers hid themselves behind the treeline, it’s times like these I’m thankful for a drone and a gps, it allows me to see what would otherwise be concealed from my sight. I found myself stopping constantly to take to the skies and catch a glimpse at the hidden beauty before me.
The road felt endless. I watched as the blinding sun clothed itself in a fiery garment before dipping down below the mountains.
With darkness now covering the land I pressed on, trying to get closer to Newfoundland before calling it a day. On my drive I noticed a creature walking down the road. As I got closer I realized it was a fox carrying a rabbit in its jaws. It dropped it’s kill off beside the road and walked up to the car to pose for a picture, afterwards darting back into the bushes as it returned to its feast. Continuing on I ended up finding a dirt road off the highway where I set up my tent and finally called it a day.
