Happy 14th Birthday Zaph!!!

Think we hit the jackpot today as far as looking for farmland went. We drove some roads in the Codroy Valley that we hadn't been down before and found several farms, lots of fields of cut hay, some baled hay, a tractor baling some hay and some cows. It's nice to know that there is some agriculture still happening in Newfoundland.

We think part of this farm is used for sod.

In the background you can see cut hay and a couple of large round bales.

There's still lots of ponds around --- this one was called Loch Lomond.

We also took some time to take a walk down a wetland trail. We saw several different birds and what we think was a mink.

We'll be leaving shortly to catch the 11:45pm ferry to North Sydney with mixed feelings. I'm sad to be leaving Newfoundland especially the out ports. I really loved all the little harbour towns. But I'm also looking forward to going home and experiencing the adventures waiting there for me.
