Day 4: July 17

Sunset on the St.Lawrence

The high point for any scavenger hunt is getting the reward for finishing it and going into town and buying some souvenirs. The last full day is a perfect one to take a bit of time for shopping. after a trip to jumpy rock,

Elizabeth and Ginnie headed with the kids to Alex Bay for a bit of souvenir shopping. After visiting nearly every store on the small strip, each of the kids had a really great souvenir that was worthy of a well finished scavenger hunt. Meanwhile, Rob and Josh took the Mighty Puffin out for a sail.

The sky was ominous all day and after a quick trip to the grocery store we head back to make dinner and keep our fingers crossed that the weather would hold out for a sail. After getting back and starting dinner, the sky broke open for a quick storm. The shelter kept everyone dry and as we continued our dinner prep we were rewarded with a beautiful rainbow.

After dinner, we made our way to a small island nature preserve right in the Kring Point State Park and just steps away from our campsites. We had explored the island earlier in the week and determined that it would be a perfect place for sunset. We were right. After walking by the lunch section reserved for the guides and St.Lawrence fishermen we headed to a stunning spot. Rob
fished, we swam and watched the sunset. The view was amazing. As we watched the sun go down a line in the sky darkened and we rushed back to the site under our handy shelter. Despite a very ominous cloud, we missed a big storm and were able to fill up on smores and enjoy our last night.
