Back in October 2008 we camped in Burlington Campground in a tiny tent next to a hollowed out redwood big enough for the tent. In July 2014 we stayed again in this most magical place but it was crowded and to get a spot for one night we had to be at the ranger station early in the morning and repeat the process each morning. Today we arrived early afternoon and had a choice of several sites. We settled on the quite spacious #53 and set up for a two night stay. Chatted with a couple of neighbors then eventually got around to walking over to the visitors center. We watched a contemporaneous documentary about the devastating Christmas 1964 Flood, learned about Charles Kellogg and his Travel Log, a camper crafted from a single redwood log, got the scoop on several places to visit in the area, and purchased a Sequoia seedling to take back and raise in WNC. At dinner time we headed south looking forward to a meal at the Chimney Tree Grill but they are closed on Wednesdays in the Fall. We ended up at the Avenue Cafe a couple of towns away on The Avenue of the Giants.Â
Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
Our adventure in Halifax was an extremely informative visit to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic coupled with a beautiful walk from the ship and back again.
