Day 36 Sept 8 2014 Argentia NFLD to North Sydney NS



Day 36       Sept 8 2014     Argentia NFLD to North Sydney NS


The camp ground that we were staying at in Argentia used to be a US military base.  The base was built between 1940 and 1941 and was apparently in use up till the 1990’s.  I went for a walk up an old gravel road and found 6 underground storage bunkers.  The kids and I went for a walk together to an abandoned underground hospital.  On the recommendation of the person that told us about it, we were armed with flashlights as the structure is as dark as a mine.  The hospital was full of graffiti with one message in the first room written in pink saying “there is another floor that you don’t know about.  I will see you there”.  I think it freaked David out a little as he seemed to be in a hurry to leave.  I made everybody turn the flashlights off so we could see how dark it was.  We boarded the Atlantic Vision to North Sydney at 4 PM with an expected arrival time of 9:30 am.
