Day 19/May 22, 2016 Boutte du Cap/Cape St. George to Beach in Stephenville A short walk in the morning to the point in Cape St. George and we were off to explore again. David took a short walk to an American 1944 Militry crash site (the plane was supposed to land in Stephenville and got blown off course crashing into the side of a hill near Cape St. George. A beach stop along the way. We were going to park it for the night on Long Point in the Port au Port Peninsula but since it was early we decided to do more exploring. But first, we walked on the gravel road for a bit and then found our way down to the rocky beach (think rounded rocks of at least fist size down to smaller). It is not easy walking on that so not the ideal but the colors of rocks kept me busy hunting for some to put in my garden. The rv wandered along our chosen route and when we didn’t find something of interest (quiet, scenic, hopefully someplace to walk/hike) we decided to settle in back at Stephenville beach. We could of headed onto the TCH 1 hoping to find someplace but it probably wouldn’t have been very good (like a visitor’s info center and possibly noise). It is far better to eat, walk the beach and go early in the a.m. so that is what we did.
