Day 10 on the East Coast Trail is a rollercoaster of views, gear struggles, and shifting plans. 🥾⛰️

I start the morning with a breathtaking sunrise at *Cape Spear*, the easternmost point in North America. After ten days on the trail, the "hiker hunger" and dead batteries are setting in. I was ready to duck in for a bed in a hostel in St. John’s just to charge up and do laundry and shower—but a lucky find and some trail magic changed everything.

In this video:

Cape Spear Lighthouse: Incredible coastal views and a much-needed "loitering" session to charge batteries.

Wildlife Sightings: Possible bear scat on the Avalon Peninsula and tale of whale sightings ahead at Signal Hill.

The Struggle for a Campsite: From ant infestations at Gunner’s Cove to a race against the sunset, I finally find the perfect "stealth" spot at Sandy Bottom Lake.

Solo Hiking Realities: Managing a heavy battery bank, the freedom of changing plans on the fly, and the push toward the final leg of the trip.

With only 5-6 days left, the momentum is building. Thanks for following along on this journey through Newfoundland!
