But it was not entirely an ill wind. It allowed Bill Caulfeild-Browne to get a gorgeous picture of Big Tub (this page) as waves pounded along the north shore of the peninsula and the wind whipped the spray inland. And when the storm finally abated, a couple of BPDS Outers Alumni — Travis Kelly and Will Francis — decided it would be fun to snowshoe in to Indian Head Cove in the national park and see how it looked after the storm. They found a wonderland, where trees had been bent to the ground then buried under tons of ice and snow. They took a few pictures for Facebook and resolved to tell all their friends. They returned the following day with a larger group of Outers Alumni. Everybody took pictures and video for Facebook and resolved to let the world know about it. Two days after that the path was so well-travelled you no longer needed snowshoes. Since then, dozens, maybe hundreds of people have made the walk and all have been rewarded with a spectacular scene. The windstorm of December 12th and 13th taken by Bill Caulfeild-Browne from the south side of Big Tub Harbour. Many of them have posted it on Facebook.
