One Rock to Another
Hello your wonderful people of the East Coast Rock, from George on the West Coast Rock, Vancouver Island. I just received my May copy of Downhome and noticed an error on page 17 under the caption "Oak Bay." Thanks for pointing out our mistake as we have always called that mountain "Mt. Baker!" I had the rare privilege of being on your island home a few years ago. My sister who lives in N.B. and myself from B.C. were delivering some things to her grandson who was attending Memorial University. Being from B.C. one would think I am used to traveling by ferry, not so! We had a cabin for the trip over but when we got to Argentia we waited too long before we went down to the car. I knew we had a problem when we were met by a number of staff with safety vests on. One of them got on the radio and said, "we found them." Sure enough when we got to the car deck ours was the only car in sight! They must have looked at the N.B. plates and figured two more mainlanders got lost, and sure enough, we did! Now I have been told that Newfoundland is infamous for the moose on the road. Some one must have sent out a wildlife warning that a car from away was on the road because we never saw one. Is that good or bad? Now, I have seen drivers swerve all over the road many times, but I have never before seen the road swerve all over under me. The wind you have over there ... oh me nerves!!!! My friend who is a Major with the Salvation Army, so I know he would never lie, told us about all the wonderful seafood on the island, only problem was we were there in September, all the good restaurants were closed and we ended up eating most meals at the golden arches. All in all it was a grand old trip with lots of laughs, good food, sights to enjoy, and new friends to meet. I hope to return some day, but during the tourist season.
