Witness to Erosion and Celebrating the Return of the Soley Cove Waterfalls!

I had a return tour participant today and we ventured out to Soley Cove. With numerous Five Islands Provincial Park Tours Soley Cove warranted a special private tour. I was shocked by the signs of extreme erosion after last Thursday’s heavy downpour. It had caused severe flooding, major damage and one death across the BayContinue reading “Witness to Erosion and Celebrating the Return of the Soley Cove Waterfalls!”
