    Newfoundland

    We've been on a secluded beach, Cape Cove on Cape freels since Saturday afternoon. Spectacular beach camping, only a hand full of people during the day and only a couple of other campers each night. Tomorrow we are headed to Norte Dame Provincial park until Saturday morn. I'll let you know when...

    Trans Taiga

    We are currently in Newfoundland and planned upon going up into Labrador and using the Trans Labrador Highway to get into Quebec. However, we are seriously considering taking a little side trip before getting back into the states. I’ve read a couple of trip reports but firsthand conversation...

    Books that Inspired You to Get into Overlanding

    I read Steinbeck’s Travels With Charley as a young boy. I really didn’t understand the book back then, as it was the late 60s and I was 14 or 15 years old. I just finished reading it yesterday and am convinced that along with a few other things in my youth, Travels With Charlie planted yet...

    Newfoundland

    We have a number of rules we are living by, one is, no driving more than 4-5 hours in a day. Another is- no night driving. Up here it is moose, a little further south it is deer. It’s not worth the risk. Another is- turn the underwear inside out after the third day!

    Yes, currently at the Avalon Laundramat near StJohns. We will be on the island for a few more weeks- 3 nights reserved at Terra Nova, then we will be wandering the back roads to the ferry to Labrador, then headed down the Labrador highway back to civilization!

    The people here crack me up, they are very humorous without trying to be.

    Newfoundland

    Newfoundland is a very interesting place with lots of great scenery. Amazingly there are no laundromats until you get over to StJohns. I mean none- fortunately we have plenty of clothes and fresh bedding that will do us an until we get to StJohns. But, to the traveler- be forewarned- bring...

    Finally done couch surfing.

    Bay of Fundy is an amazing place: did an overnighter at the entrance to a road that is only open during low tide; then three nights on an amazing little peninsula that we had all to ourselves. Photos are in reverse order

    Dream Overland Trip

    I’m going to rivive this old thread. Back in 1997 going up to the Gaspe’ Peninsula was our dream trip. The our dream trip was going back up to the Gaspe’ Peninsula. After a few years, taking in Moab became our dream trip. In the past 15 years we’ve been to the region 7 or 8 times. A few...
