Day 72 – Drawn to the sandy shores

The nights have been growing noticeably colder as autumn draws near. Upon exiting my tent, a brisk morning air greeted me with a chilly embrace as blue skies above beckoned me forward to explore the land.
It wasn’t long until Jenn and I were on the road, venturing out to Greenwich, a part of Prince Edward Island National Park. We found a place to park and began walking along a short trail that took us to a nice little picnic table where we snacked on some cheese and crackers. With a sparkling lake beside us, the scenery stayed nothing less than stunning. Having chowed down, we returned to the trail and finished the short little hike.


We found ourselves craving the ocean so we ventured to one of the nearby beaches. A weaving wooden boardwalk guided us to the pristine sands we’d been craving so deeply. Refreshing and cool, the ocean breeze swept through the area as Atlantic waves steadily crashed into the shore.


With eager excitement we walked along the beach until we found the perfect place to settle and soak in the sun. Occasionally we’d dip our feet in the chilly water before returning once more to our comfy perch. Having spent the afternoon there, we slowly packed our things and returned to the car.


Only a few hours remained before the sun went down so we took a coastal drive to the most eastern part of the island. We arrived just in time, with the sky bringing forth a dazzling array of warm colors to illuminate the horizon.


It was time to find a place to rest. We drove an hour and a half west to a campground that was close to the Anne of Green Gables museum we’d planned to explore in the morning. With Hurricane Dorian arriving tomorrow afternoon, it should be an interesting day to say least!
