Day 12 Hiking at Sandbanks Park




More sights on our walk
May 31, 2013


Woke up to no rain but quite foggy.  The sun came out, fog moved in, sun came out again…Newfoundland weather.


We are the only motorhome here except for someone we think is a host.


 

Looking out upon the sea
Marion delivered our bread and cinnamon pretzels…both were very goodJ

 









The beach we walked in the distance

Today we hiked the rest of the trails we wanted to do and walked a few beaches.  Most of the trails are short and interconnect…boardwalks are plentiful due to the damp/wet ground (gets you above the sogginess).  GREAT views as seen in the photos.  Made use of the free wifi (which is only obtainable at the check in office).

The eagle
I will let the pictures speak for me….

 

 
 
What can I say?
 



The campground in the trees and road into Sandbanks
After dinner we took a walk up to the overlook and took in the 360 degree AWESOME view.  As we arrived back at the road I noticed an animal trotting towards us.  I stepped back trying to decide what it was and  David snapped a pix or two of it.  I was betting fox and he thought coyote…it was a fox as per the ranger.  She apparently has kits just up the hill.





More beach


Fox was wary as she passed with a bird in her mouth.   A few minutes later as we were talking to the ranger, we saw another one pass…smaller and again on the road…obviously hunting.  There are some pretty sizeable rabbits around here and lots of them….
