We had a quiet night sheltered amongst the spruce. It rained a little overnight but the day was dry and only partially clouded. Temperatures were up to 14C. We decided to spend at least one more night here.
The propane detector went off again last night. It s the second time we have had trouble with it on this trip. The common element in both events is a synthetic sleeping bag we use. After we removed it from the vicinity of the detector it behaved itself.
In the morning we drove into Rocky Harbour to purchase a few supplies. We cleaned the trailer and did some repairs. The outside cleanout door for the cassette toilet is leaking so we recaulked it. As well some adhesive hooks have been failing so we cleaned up the mess and replaced them with better quality ones.
In the afternoon we hiked the Bakers Brook Falls Trail. It is a fairly easy 10 km. hike which took about 3.5 hours. It passes through bogs and forest to a beautiful series of waterfalls. There was a lot of evidence of moose on the trail, which we tried to avoid stepping in, but we did not see any. Lots of interesting plants and wildflowers in this area. Took pictures and samples for later identification.
On the way back we noticed a new motel and discovered that it is broadcasting a strong wi-fi signal so we uploaded yesterday’s blog and took care of some business.
The forecast for tomorrow includes winds gusting to 70 km. by midday. Although we have become very skeptical of the forecasts, we are considering leaving and heading south east where the weather is marginally better.
