Road Trip 2015: Day 1. The Drive

Here's the journal from the first day of my Newfoundland trip.  Not a whole lot happened and this may be a less interesting entry, but it's honest.  The first day of the trip out east is tough.  Waking up at 4am, driving 13 hours, and then not really getting any reward from the point of …

Road Trip 2015. Day 2. The Ferry

The ferry ride to Newfoundland was one of the most different experiences I've had yet.  Here are my thoughts, written from the lounge of the ferry. Sunday | Aug. 9, 2015 @9:45pm I'm sitting in the lounge of the ferry to Newfoundland with so many new thoughts running through my mind. It's dark out, but …

Road Trip 2015: Day 3. The Avalon Peninsula

Monday | Aug. 10, 2015 @7:30pm It's been a bit of a rollercoaster day. To start with, we woke up on the ferry. Due to the rainy weather we had decided to sleep in rather than waking up early for the sunrise. We got up around 8 and by then land was already in view. …

Road Trip 2015: Day 4. St. Johns

Tuesday | Aug. 11, 2015 @7:20pm It's one crazy day after another. I'm getting tired of it, although it has been good. This morning we woke up at 4am to drive to Cape Spear to see the sunrise at the most easterly point in Canada. The drive there was interesting as it was still dark …

Road Trip 2015: Day 5. Bonavista

Wednesday | Aug. 12, 2015 @ 7:30pm Today was much more my preferred pace. We slept in this morning since I was going to have to call some glass repair shops. We slept really well since the ground under our tent was quite soft compared with previous campgrounds. It took a few tries but I …

Road Trip 2015: Day 6. Salvage

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 …

Road Trip 2015: Day 7. Twillingate

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 …

Road Trip 2015: Day 8. Arrival at Gros Morne

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, …

Road Trip 2015: Day 9. The Tablelands

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 …

Road Trip 2015: Day 10. Western Brook Pond

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 …

Introducing: Skye, my new Jeep.
It's been a different summer. Due to my Jeep's starting issues I haven't really gone on any road/camping trips. This might end up being the quietest summer I've had since 2007...when I first began adventuring. I do have one trip planned with friends later this month, but otherwise I'm just patiently waiting for my new Jeep to arrive from the factory.(with no idea when that will be)
