Thanks RR. Interesting question that I hadn't thought of before and not an easy one to answer to be honest. There are too many good ones to pick from. For me it was just after riding off the ferry in NFLD and being stunned by the view, equally matched when we rode into Gross Morne. I wasn't...
Back on the Road
View from the back of the bike continues....
Two weeks were not nearly enough time to see everyone and do everything we wanted to while at home. We have been thoroughly spoiled by our amazing family and are already missing them terribly. I'm pretty sure I've cried a couple of...
Re: Mount Washington Contd
Thanks guys.
I wouldn't say I missed the heat, or missed the heat :blob6:. We've actually been back for over a week now, just took me a bit to catch up on the blog.
Time to head back down, I think Lori is probably waiting outside of the hotel by now (tapping her foot).
Short section of dirt. Of course going down, the driver of the vehicle in front of me must have thought it was ice, they were going that slow.
Apparently I didn't have to...
Mount Washington
The following morning was like Christmas for me. No I don't mean it was snowing, although it wouldn't have surprised us at all. I had been looking forward to getting to the top of Mount Washington for some time and though we wanted to get home, this was one stop I wasn't going...
Westbound
After four wonderful days in St John's, it was time to get going again. The vote was in, we would take the same ferry that brought us here at Port Aux Basques. We declined the much closer ferry out of Argentia for a few reasons. It wasn't running for another two days which meant we'd...
Cape Spear
Leaving Signal Hill, we headed for the eastern most spot in continental North America, Cape Spear. Although it was only a few kilometres away, the temperature dropped from about 16C in St John's to a bitter 6C at Cape Spear. We left our gear on and donned our toques to have a look...
St John's
The following morning we awoke to dozens of the little biting flies hanging around under the fly of the tent. We did our usual divide and conquer routine where Lori packs up the inside of the tent and I work on the outside when she's done. I figured the time had come to break out the...
Hey the camera arrived today. A little disappointed that the lens remains exposed when shut off, although it appears it will take a filter to help protect it. Haven't had a chance to take any pics with it but I do like the compact size and weight. It will most likely live in the rear pocket of...
Reluctantly we packed up and left Sheldon’s place in the morning. With spectacular scenery 360 degrees around his home and the ocean just steps outside his door, we could totally see the appeal of living in a place like this though. “If only it were 10 degrees warmer” Lori said.
It was however...
Re: Iceberg Alley
Thanks, Gros Morne is definitely a must see if you go to NFLD, in fact the entire west side is spectacular. I wish we had a few more weeks to spend out there.
Iceberg Alley
In the morning we headed towards Gander Bay along the 340. We heard all about the icebergs everywhere but had yet to see a single one, we knew we were getting closer and hoped it would be a matter of time.
The scenery flattened out quite a bit as we hugged the coast. Big blue...
Fog and rain was the theme of the day so we hung around indoors on our day off. It cleared up at the end of the day and we got treated to a nice sunset.
We initially planned on riding along the Viking Trail, north to St Anthony's as there were supposed to be lots of icebergs in that area. But...
Thanks, we missed it when we arrived and looks like we're going to miss it today as well. It's definitely a type 2 fun kind of a day today (not fun to do but fun to talk about later). We're already planning a return trip sometime in the future so it will have to wait till then.
And in...
Yup us too.
No pics. The first one required my attention stopping and crossed right in front of us, the second was at the side of the rod but ran into the bush as we rode past. Apparently they're not the photogenic type.
As cool as they are to see, Lori and I both agree that we'd be happy...
