Sunday

2nd Weekend - Brule shore

 May 20th to 23rd, 2011 - Sunset Watch Campground, Brule Point


Technically, I only spent 2 of the 3 nights of the long weekend at this campground.  I went to Oxford Friday night to spend some time with some good friends and go yard sale hunting on Saturday!   Can you say rain, rain, rain!!  It rained most of the night and was cool.  Most of the yard sales were cancelled but did manage to get some forks for the camper.  Went back to Brenda and Eds for Lunch and then headed to the campground


Very nice campground, well looked after!  The have a fair amount of seasonal campers there but they are all great and very friendly!  Great campground if you have kids.  Lots for them to do!






Below is an example of what the winter has given them.  Lots of coastal erosion!  Real shame!


Although we did not really have that much sun, the campground was appropriately named.



Wind farm on Nuytby Mountain.


Weather:  Arrived on Saturday after it rained most of the Friday night and the whole day on Saturday.  Temperature did not get above 11 or 12 in the day time and at night it went down to 4 or 5 degrees.  brrrr Sunday was about the same weather with the sun peaking out just a little more but not much!  Still had a fire both nights.

Cost:  the 2 nights taxes in: $72.00 even.

My Maiden Voyage - KOA - Halifax, West

May 13th and 14th, 2011

Planned my first weekend for the KOA at Halifax West.  It was their Kamp and Kare weekend for kids with cancer.  If you camp there Friday night they give you Saturday night for free.  All they are looking for is a donation to help Kids with Cancer.


 I took the 13th off from work to get there at a reasonable time.  Friends of mine joined me for the weekend as well in their camper(Sean, Heather and their daughter Brianna Martin).  A little bigger than mine..hahaha  Below  Heather is checking on Brianna in her bunk.  Great kid!!

 

 Tjis and Tim came with the boys on Saturday for Lunch.

 It was a nice weekend but the weather was not so nice.  Friday night we were able to have a fire but Saturday night got rained out. 

Cost for the week:  2 nights of camping = $ 35.68 + donation
Weather: overcast with sunny periods on Friday, 4 degrees overnight (brrrrr), overcast all day Saturday, light rain early evening and then full rain Saturday night.  6 degrees overnight Saturday night, still a little chilly!  Sunday packing up it was still overcast but warm.
