Day 2 on the Island

Well, this is the second of two pristine days here on Newfoundland. We have settled in the heart of the Gros Morne National Park and will go to Western View Lake tomorrow as tomorrow's weather is supposed to be great as well. Last night we lucked out and stayed in an empty lot on the edge of an old US Air Base in Stephenvile.... Pretty interesting. The town has even named their streets after US states.. It was right on the ocean with a bike path and walking path across from it, and the other good thing was it was free. There were 2 other campers there and just one of those places people camp and no one bothers. After a morning bike ride we went in search of the Gravels walkway, a place my friend Susan recommended. It was very near by and we walked the trail along the ocean's edge. There was a man fishing for mackerel and Don stopped and talked with him for a while. Thanks Susan. We have internet access here so I can catch up and communicate so it's nice to be able to look at photos we have taken and update this blog. We met a couple of ladies traveling from Dover, NH driving an old RV by themselves. Both are in their late sixties, early seventies. They had a breakdown on the road here and people stopped, brought them to a mechanic, and let them stay in their yard overnight. We had heard people here were nice, and I guess that's a great example. I cannot imagine driving something that big by myself. It's very mountainous here, and this park is spectacularly beautiful. I am still looking for those "Buck or Two " stores and Susan's snowballs. Hope I find them. Below are photos of some of the trucks we shared ferry space with as well as a photo of the trees leaning with the wind.
