| The Town Fathers of Mahoney |
On Tuesday we set off for the delightful little town of Mahoney, which was preparing for their annual “scarecrow” festival where all the town businesses decorate with appropriate stuffed creatures. We liked the “town fathers”, and one at the cute restaurant we ate at – “Oh My Cod”.

The biggest treat, however, came as we drove into town. Becky had fallen in love with the lighthouse replicas that we saw all over Newfoundland, anywhere from 2 to 10 foot high. We wanted to bring one home, but they are all custom made and no body sells them! As we drove into town, there were two for sale sitting in front of a house! After securing cash from an ATM, we met the owners and found that Walter Wentzell makes them as a labor of love-so home it came!!

Leaving Mahoney, we drove to the beautiful town of Lunenberg where building sailing vessels had been the main industry for decades. Its main industry is now tourism, and it’s a great place to spend a day.

The ride back to Lakeville included a stop at their favorite campground, Kejimkujik National Park and historic site.
