Sept 13 - Port Blanford to Arnold's Cove - 81 km


Less hills today, but the headwinds appeared after noon. We can live with that.

One of my sisters wanted me to check out Come By Chance, because she saw it on a map. So, I did. I knew beforehand about the Come By Chance oil refinery, but I decided I would fulfill my sister's wish and have a look. There's the town's sign beside the highway. The next photo is one of only two non-residential buildings in the town ( the other is the firehall).

So, sister, I went all the way DOWN the hill and had to pedal back UP the hill (fully loaded), just for this photo. You owe me big time, kiddo - at least two energy bars (the good kind!).

Arnold's Cove, where we stayed is actually the main residential area associated with the oil refinery and has some neat old fishing wharves. We stayed at Tanker's Inn, which is a converted construction camp, probably left over from the refinery (or,it seemed like it must have been!)

Thank you from the sister who made you ride up a hill. She won't mention how far she rode because her brother had some crazy idea about riding across Canada... :)
