ButterPot Provincial Park Kayak
Butterpot Provincial Park
The Park is located on the Avalon Peninsula approximately 36 km southwest of St. John's along the Trans Canada Highway. The park covers an area of 2833 hectares of varied terrain and vegetation - forests, bogs, heaths and ponds. Hiking trails take you through forests and over barrens to a remarkable scenic view-point.
Even the nights are better! The stars are so bright, because the night is so dark. The Big Dipper will appear tangible and the Milky Way, literally, a sight to behold. Sleep under the stars (or in your tent or RV), but be sure to take a look around you at night.
The owls are awake all night, and by dawn the Moose, Hare, Beaver and Otters are up and browsing for breakfast by the pond. If you are leaving Newfoundland via the Argentia Ferry, you are about a one hour drive to the Marine Atlantic Ferry Terminal.

Season: Mid May - Mid Sep
Amenities: Day-Use Facilities, Pit Privies, Playground, Angling, Hiking Trails, Comfort Station, Dumping Station, Laundry Facilities, Nature Craft Program, Amphitheatre, Boat Rentals, Drinking Taps Located Throughout the Park.

Drive to St. John's
This is just a little video of our drive back from Holyrood to St. John's yesterday. My plan was to the a full drive through Holyrood. The roads in Holyrood are so rough image stabilization software could make it look smooth and enjoyable to watch.

Kayaking Conception Bay
Went kayaking with my friend Diane on Conception Bay, Canada Day 2014. It was a glorious day to be on the bay. There is a sequence in the video where we enter a sea cave. If you want to know what that experience is like be sure to watch this video. You will be in the driver's seat and some may find it intimidating.
