Conception Bay






The windy and rainy days have out numbered the sunny ones this month, but today is beautiful and we are expecting temperatures into the high 20ies. We still have many places to visit here. Conception Bay is just the right place for a day tour by car. A little village that we wanted to revisit from 6 years ago is Brigus, a National Historic Site. Hawthorne Cottage the home of Capt. Robert Adam Bartlett and the Great Grandfather of a friend of ours in Vancouver. The sail monument is dedicated to him and he had the tunnel hand dug and blasted with black powder in the mid 1800's.The tunnel comes out to where the sail boats are anchored and he would have loaded his ships in that location.
