Trivia

The Board

Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.

Down the road

Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.

The Dungeon, Bonavista

bonavista · The Bonavista Peninsula

A collapsed sea cave with two openings to the ocean — a blow-hole crater you view from the edge of the cliff.

The Dungeon, at the very tip of the Bonavista Peninsula within minutes of the town of Bonavista, is a day-use provincial park around a massive heart-shaped crater with two separate openings to the sea. Atlantic waves carved the sedimentary rock over roughly ten thousand years into two sea caves whose roofs collapsed, leaving a natural archway the park describes as a blow-hole, or gloup, that will itself collapse into a sea stack in time. It is a designated geosite of the Discovery UNESCO Global Geopark, reached by a dirt road passing green fields, with parking, a viewing area and cell service; camping and campfires are prohibited (Parks NL).

How to get there

At the very tip of the Bonavista Peninsula, minutes from the town of Bonavista: follow the dirt road past the green fields — parking, the viewing area and cell service are at the site.

Mind yourself

Stay safely back from the edge — the park's own page warns the crashing waves below are a reminder to keep clear of the rim; keep dogs leashed.

Fact

Where that comes from

On the go

Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.

The kitchen

Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.

The hall

Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.

The yarns

He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.

Not the house

No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
