Wow, what a campground… The fanciest, most resort’ish campground we have seen.
Our campsite at Topsail. Sites are highly landscaped and semi-private from adjacent sites. Short walk to the bath house. There is also a shuttle to the beach for people like us with no bicycles.
Favorite pic of a Brown Pelican. These are big, majestic birds. The were floating in “squadrons” along the beach; just using the heavy winds to move them along. More pics below. They were fun to photograph…
The beach at Topsail with “double red-flag” blowing. That means don’t get in the water. Dunes are roped off to preserve turtle and bird nesting areas. The waves were coming all the way up the beach occasionally. I was looking up shooting pictures of pelicans flying over when a big wave filled my shoes with sandy water…

Ruddy Turnstone’s: so named because they turn over stones looking for yummy stuff
Cavendish Beach along the Gulf of St Lawrence. This sandy beach reminded me of Indiana Dunes National Park back home. We saw very few sandy beaches on our two month tour of the North Atlantic area.

We ate at Fisherman’s Wharf; Lobster Suppers in North Rustico. We had lobster several times. It was fun to eat lots of lobster on the trip. Lobster is delicious but fresh caught, pan fried cod is even better.
While on subject of seafood: we had several dinners of fresh scallops cooked in a sea of butter on Jennie’s Blackstone grille. Most of the meals on the tour were provided but on days they were not we often cooked on the Blackstone grille. Jennie also cooked up some “Bacon Jam” which was delicious.
