We've really enjoyed every trip out east. Newfoundland however takes top spot!I have been down east before as my mother's family is from Nova Scotia; however, it has been many years since I have been back. Never been to PEI or Newfoundland, but would love to see both. A good friend spent several days riding around Newfoundland and has many stories about the adventure.
ThanksReally enjoy reading this! Brings back memories of a similar East Coast route I did in 2011, look forward to more posts!
LX3 has been ordered.Yeah keep your eye open for an Lx3 if it suits your need. Hard to beleive they are around so cheap. Down side you need to keep an eye on the battery.
Where are you off to next?
We'll be prepping Alaska for you
Thank you.This was a fun read so far! I took an extended lunch just to get caught up. I dream to do this one summer but being a responsible adult (going to work) gets in the way.
Ride safe and thanks for the inspiration!
So we're leaving St John's tomorrow and heading back home. We have a few loose ends to tie up and want to spend a few days with family before taking off for Alaska.
We picked up Fodors Alaska used for cheap and from a tip from a guy who has ridden up there many times....Milepost which he says ia must have.
Heavy sucker tho.
Are you leaving from Argentia or riding back to Port Aux Basques? That long ferry ride didn't appeal, so I rode back to Port Aux Basques and checked out Rose Blanche, missed it on the way in. All the while on NFLND I didn't see one moose, which I didn't mind too much, ha! or one whale-I kept missing them
Well at least you have long daylight and two sets of eyes for moose.
I'd take the 900k day over the extra expense and a long ferry trip.
Any moose pics?
If you have time the road through Isle aux Morts to Rose Blanche is nice. I was told the road builders were paid by the mile so they made it winding. No idea if that's true or not, but it makes for a good story & a good road. Pretty towns.
Nice trip and blog. Very interesting stuff out east and since I've never been that way, it is now a place for me to check out. Thanks for the pics of Gros Morne - seems like a must visit kind of place.
Safe travels!
