8/1/11 - Western Brook Pond

We had checked with the boat tour company yesterday and found out that the 1:30 trip we wanted to go on was booked (we had a caravan in our campground again). The 4:00 tour was open so we purchased our tickets for that one. We had not purchased the annual Canadian "Discovery Pass" that gets you into all their national parks and historic sites. We had been paying at each one individually and when we went through the Highlands National Park in Cape Breton, the ranger had told us that if we decided we wanted to purchase the Discovery Pass (it cost $57.00) that if we saved our receipts for the past 30 days and brought them into the park office they would discount the cost by that amount, so that is what we did. We had about a 15 mile trip out to where we had to hike back into the boat tour. We saw this moose on the way out.
