North on the Viking Trail

It was a nice sunny morning when we got up at Rocky Harbor.  We wern't going to go up to L'Anse Aux Medows since it was 200+ miles up and 200 back down the same road.  But changed our minds, had a great tail wind blowing us all the way up the Gulf of St Lawerene and the Straits of Belle Isle.  The Straits of Belle Isle is also call iceburg alley, 18 years ago when we took this trip it was full of iceburgs, with the warming weather there were no burgs to be seen today.

Arrived in St Anthonys around 4pm.  Stopped to get directions from a guy washing his rv in his driveway, also asked him were we could get some fresh cod fish.  These NL folks are so nice, he went into his house and came out with a big cod filet, wouldn't take anything for it.  Found an rv park with wifi near the heart of the major sites and will probably spend 2 nites here.

Pics, The Arches--my rock hound--think we must have 20 pounds of rocks in the trunk, didn't keep my rock, view along the Straits of Bell Isle, co-pilot on the lookout for moose and last proof reader of the blog.

  1. It looks like you're having a grand trip! Heidi and I are envious as we baste in the 90+ degree heat down here - enjoy the rest! Take care...

  2. Rich & Heidi, good to hear from you. Every time we leave town disaster strikes there, hear you almost had a tornado and did have an earthquake, better come back so you will all be safe. Has been sunny and warm here in the daytime, need blankets at night and a little heat to start the morning. Thanks for commenting.

  3. June sent me your travel log site and I've been reading about your adventure. The photos are great and it also looks like nice weather; I did however read that you had some rain. Its a different world up there and you've avoided some nice hot weather in MD. Al S.
