This post was from a day befor the last blog of the Hike to Green Point and Rocky harbor.

Ahh we arrived yesterday afternoon, we were totally amazed by the landscape and topology. We went through large mountain passes, deep fjords, lowlands, and costal planes in about a 3 hours time. It was partly sunny and raining, we seen 2 strange rainbows, one was actually horizontal with no arch.  We noticed there are not many cars on the roads; actually I think we passed 4 cars in about 2 hours.

We were not sure if we were going to like Green point due to the fact that it is right on the ocean and it’s been a bit cloudy rainy and windy, but when we arrived it was amazing, the wind was blocked by a barrier of pine trees along the low bluff of the ocean. The camp ground is right out of a magazine, there is actually grass on the sites, there separated by a few rows of trees, and they have a fire pit and a wash basin and picnic table. Out of the 31 sites in the campground there are only 3 others camping in the area? We setup and Tom went for a walk and I went to find some firewood.

I took a drive toward Cow Head ( I was feeling bit crabby and down from the cold) and found a gas station near cow head that had a bundle of wood, I wanted more but the only had 1 bundle, so I went down the road to a campground. To my amazement as I went down the road, I seen my first moose (dam Tom wasn’t with me, he’ll never believe it) off into the woods he went and down to the RV park I went to find wood. Well he guy didn’t want to sell me any wood, it was for his campers only and  said the park usually brings wood to the campgrounds. So he ended up giving me some nice scarp wood I could use as kindling and back to the campground I went.

Tom was frittering around the campground and let me know who he talked to and what information he got, like there is a guy who comes around every evening around 7pm selling wood… He also found out that at the end of green point is where there are some spectacular geological formations.  Then we napped! As you always try to do on vacation, it’s just part of the deal!

That evening we made a grilled chicken dinner over the fire with lima beans from the garden and a cucumber salad. After dinner we cleaned up and we then went for the evening hike down the shore trail a bit then headed back along the ck coast like in front of the campground. As we came up from the shoe to the campground we met the wood man. We told him where we were camping and we soon met him over at our camp, we bought a bund of wood and talked about. The wood man works for the park for 6 month out of the year and the rest of the time he is a taxidermist in Rocky harbor and that he had a shop and a museum in rocky harbor. Well the evening fire was a fine one, the winds were coming off the ocean, but we were sheltered from the pines all around us. It was getting cold and we heard it was gong down to 0 or 32 degrees. As the sun went down and the stars came out it was a whole new world in the darkness, the waves craing and the wind in the pines and a billion starts in the sky. We walked down to camp road a piece a looked at the moon, it was a half moon in a star lit sky.. you don’t get too many evenings like this and we just soaked it all in. We turned in around 11pm… what a day and what a night.
