Off the beaten path adventures and musings.
Sunday | Aug. 23, 2015 @7:30pm We've managed to keep the interesting days going. This morning we slept in for the first time on the trip. Then we listened to a sermon in the car. We then headed down to the beach to go for a walk. As usual there was still some fog hanging …

Saturday | Aug. 22, 2015 @9:00pm It's been another very different day. The variations on this trip are greater than most. Today we went to see Battle Harbour, but there were a few logistics we had to clear up first. We had arranged for a guy to get us there on his boat, since the …

Friday | Aug. 21, 2015 @ 8:00pm This morning we woke up at 4:30am, took down the tent and made for the Labrador Ferry. It was quite dark out which made taking down the tent interesting. Once we got on the road there wasn't much of note that happened and not much to see as it was …

Wednesday | Aug. 19, 2015 @7:00pm Today was all non sight seeing stuff. First thing this morning I woke up early because the tent was blowing around due to high winds. One of the stakes had come loose again. We later staked down more of the extra supports in hopes that it would blow around …

Tuesday | Aug. 18, 2015 @6:30pm It's been a long, tiring day. We woke up at 5:30am this morning hoping to hit the trails at a decent time before the heat of the day. I hadn't slept a whole lot, since it was windy out and the tent was blowing around quite a bit. Turns …

Reading through this entry, I realized that I never once say that the boat tour we went on was the Western Brook Pond tour, which is one of the more well known spots in Gros Morne. Monday | Aug. 17, 2015 @ 9:00pm This morning started off a little different because the alarm didn't go …

Sunday | Aug. 16, 2015 Today was a very tiring but very good day. We woke up at the usual 6:30am and headed for the tablelands. The sun was just rising, which made the shadows sort of long across the mountains, but the early timing meant there was no one on the trails yet. We …
Saturday | Aug. 15, 2015 @ 7:30pm Well, we have started stage two of the trip, and it's been awesome. I had my doubts, but they are gone now. The day started out pretty normally with getting up at 6:30am and getting on the road for Gros Morne. The drive there was kind of boring, …

Friday | Aug. 14, 2015 @ 9:30pm Today was yet again a very different day. We started by driving to Twillingate. I had originally planned to take the back road around the coast but decided not to due to tiredness. That meant we got to Twillingate a little earlier than planned. Right away we could …
Thursday | Aug. 13, 2015 @ 8:00pm Today was wonderfully laid back, and we got to see some incredible scenery too! We woke up at a decent time this morning after a night of rain. It was a bit cloudy out but not raining so we set out on the short drive to Salvage. The …
