Cassandra and I journeyed to Fort Amherst for the first time since being here. After turning the wrong way and going onto a highway in the opposite direction we eventually ended up in the right place. You would think we would know our way around especially after getting directions from google maps. Nope, downtown is still as confusing as always.
When we got to the lighthouse the ruins are all caged off because they are falling apart. It's still pretty cool though. Several paths for the east coast trail start there too. We could hike the 150 km to Ferryland if we wanted to. I don't think that will ever happen though.
We did see a small rodent creature running around though, it was pretty friendly. Seemed like it was fed by tourists. Cassandra thinks it might be a Stoat. My flickr page has more pictures.
