A view out towards where the whales were breaching and the fog was inviting them to dance.I was introduced to @theoatcompany through my being a local hike advocate for #HikeNL and @legendarycoasts. After finished my blueberry bars, I ordered a 12 pack so I could try all their flavours. Yesterday on our Spout hike, the Snowball bar was just the ticket of sweet and chocolate to finish lunch and to propel us through the post lunch 40 minute steep climb out. So, this is my Snowball (chocolate and coconut) at the Spout! #maderighthere and with speedy free delivery here in St.John’s, they are now my go-to hike treat for the summer. I can’t wait to try the rest of the flavours! #BuyLocal #poweredbyoats #ExploreNL #OutdoorEats #Getoutside #hike #yummyinmytummyWe had an absolutely fantastic stupendous hike to “The Spout” yesterday. We tried the overland route and with the dry conditions this summer, it went well. Following the good navigational challenge, The Spout-a freshwater geyser propelled by ocean wave action, did not disappoint. It was blowing well. During lunch, we spotted some whales at the next point and didn’t they just breach while the spout was spouting. A magical moment for sure that will never be forgotten.My turn to make a shape. We had a lovely ride beside the sea in Conception Bay South. I found a few lumps to roll over and @wissmarian snapped this beauty. It looks like I’m riding in the mountains but it was sea level.This marvellous track took us from St. Mary's to Gaskiers and back. As we returned the weather threatened with the steely blue sky but ultimately gave us a pass. Isn't that sky the most amazing colour? We returned to the trailhead with only some wet feet from jumping over a few boggy bits. We kept our eyes peeled for whales and the view from the Gaskiers' Light new disappoints. Lots to do and enjoy in around St. Mary's Bay.Starting to contemplate where to head for this weekend's adventure and which method of locomotion to use...will it be hike? bike? hike a bike? canoe? sea kayak? So many choices to choose from to get outside, get active, and have a fine time exploring our province. Any suggestions or recommendations for a place not to be missed this summer?TA’s Facebook Page
