Day 8 Event Day in Grand Falls

Mr.Sun really loves our company cuz HE"S STILL HERE! WOO HOO!
And we're off to the Corduroy Brook Nature Trail, an amazing park that has 15 kms. of trails, seven of which are wheelchair accessible. Believe me I know, I pushed over them! A few local gentlemen have created the Park and maintain it year round which is a big job. There are lots of bird habitats, rabbits, fish, oh so many beavers and as always in Newfoundland, a few moose.
I got a great surprise when we arrived and got off the shuttle. The most beautiful Newfie dog I had ever seen ... and friendliest too!
After we kissed a while we started our park tour. I got a real treat next. The park has a wheelchair accessible swing that I drove RIGHT UP ON! It was awesome! Swinging for the first time in 14 years, I was really elated! Video to follow.
Next we toured the park and saw lots of evidence of beaver activity.
There were chewed tree stumps EVERYWHERE! Wish I had my electric chair for the hills!
After we left the park we went across town and all had fish n chips for lunch at the salmon ladder!
It was yummy AND educational.

This was amazing to see in person, beside these beatiful falls, a series of pools up the hill to the river above and fish were jumping up into each adjoining pool. I wanted to fish from here!

It was a beautful day with georgeous scenery. Can't wait to come back fully equiped with vacation time!
