Having checked out the trail late the previous evening, Monday, June 22nd, Day 25 of our trip and the 18th day in Newfoundland, began with a 6.3-km hike on the Coastal Trail from our site at the Newman Sound Campground to Pissamare Falls. The day would continue by driving...

On the second half of Sunday, June 21st, Cathy and I did a couple of short hikes near the park Visitor Centre, then went through the Visitor Centre to see the displays. Finally, late that evening, I went for a look at the Newman Sound Campground end of the...

On Sunday, June 21st, Day 24 of our trip and the 17th day in Newfoundland, we were in Terra Nova National Park with a full day to explore. For me that meant a day of hiking, starting with the Goowiddy Path, a 8-km loop that runs along the coast...

Friday, June 19th, Day 22 of our trip and the 15th day in Newfoundland, was an easy day. I had a 10:30 Zoom meeting scheduled with my coach for the clinical trial I’m participating in so had some time to kill in the morning. I filled that with another...

Thursday, June 18th, Day 21 of our trip and the 14th day in Newfoundland, was so amazing it’s taking me two posts to tell you about it. This first one is about a hike, the next will be about our spectacular iceberg boat tour. After a good experience with...

Tuesday, June 16th, Day 19 of our trip and the 12th day in Newfoundland, was a long day of driving due to our Most Excellent detour to Gros Morne yesterday. We had 421 km to cover. We got off to an early start, mostly because we not only had...

Monday, June 15th, Day 18 of our trip and the 11th day in Newfoundland, didn’t go anything like we had planned – it was far better 🙂 I was up early writing as usual, when a boat came along and hurried back and forth along our bit of coast...

Sunday, June 14, Day 17 of our trip and the 10th day in Newfoundland, was intended to be a partial day to explore Port au Choix before moving on, but we very soon decided to stay another night. As I write this, it’s our favourite community so far. My...

On Saturday, June 6th, Day 9 of the trip, we drove another 230 km north to Shoal Brook, one of several communities in Gros Morne National Park. Gros Morne was one of our main destinations in Newfoundland – although we only had one firm plan, a boat tour, we...

Friday, June 5th, Day 8 of the trip, was our first day of exploring Newfoundland, and it was a beauty, with a fine example of what passion can accomplish with a ruined stone building, and a walk to a nice waterfall. We also picked up a rented Starlink Mini...
