July 18-Grand Falls Windsor to Twillingate

Super rainy this morning, had to pack up the trailer in the pouring rain.  Not sure if we missed part of the canvas when folding up one side as that night we found mud and water around the front bed as if there was a gap somewhere.  Made an awful mess.  Drove in the teeming rain for hours, almost had an accident on the TCH it was so bad.  Worked our way up to Twillingate, still raining like crazy, and discovered that Dildo Provincial Park had a serviced site for two nights.  We called the private park we had originally booked into and cancelled our reservation as it was half an hour farther up the road from where we wanted to be for the morning.  (They didn't seem to mind, saying they had someone right there who could use the site.)  Mud everywhere, got pretty soggy setting up for the night, and almost went off into the ditch backing up as the rain made it so hard to see.  By the way, the name Dildo refers to a calm bay, not the other use of the word......
The rain finally eased up, so we drove up to Twillingate to have a look around, and found an awesome spot to watch whales.  We saw humpbacks breaching and fin slapping, it was worth the drive!  It was so cold and windy there, we didn't stay long, and tried to eat and R and J's which had a good reputation in the past, but new owners recently and it was a nightmare.  We waited 45 minutes after ordering to be told they were out of what we wanted to eat.  Left and ate chili and toast back at the campsite.  Bad sleep that night.
