Thursday August 20 Mill River Prov. Park (Woodstock, PEI)

Slept well with the sounds, winds and smells of the ocean. Got going fairly early b/c I knew it was probably going to be a long day. Lots of kitschy stuff and stops that I just went by like Quilting Museums and E.M. Mongomery's house that she lived in for one year. Stopped in Alberton - good thing as it is probably the only "town" on this end of the island. Picked up baked goods, beer and groceries and didn't see anything other than a general store near the end of the day. Not too may campgrounds on this end of the island either. Saw two private ones that had no trees and Jacques Cartier Prov Park which was quite similar to last night Prov Park and even tonight's Prov Park. This campground is not on the ocean but I had to take it as it was nearly 6:30 pm when I got here. Made it up to North Cape and even Skinners Pond today. Used the abandoned r/r (Confederation Trail) and it is a possibility, even though it is gravel is quite fast, flat of course, straight but not very scenic. May have to adjust my daily schedule as the days are getting shorter. 7 1/2 hr riding days no longer give me enough time to get cleaned up and eat before it is dark.
