Monday Aug 10


Flatwater Pond Campground
Near Ming’s Bight, Nfld.

Today was a long run from the Baie Vertr peninsula all the way to Trout River in Gros Morne, and then on to Rocky Harbour.
Again, we were pelted with biting rain and high winds but had a few clear moments off and on; the weather seems to be on permanent “rain, cloud, sun, rain” cycle! What we’ve seen so far of Gros Morne Park is impressive to say the least! Lots of moose, no caribou so far….
But a first for this trip….snow on the high ground!!
If you look carefully at one of the pictures of Trout River you will see up in the upper right that there is a snow field laying in what is called “The Tablelands” way up beyond the town!

I suspect there is very little to sustain the folks of Trout River; Not exactly what I would call a tourist destination, picturesque, but poor, for sure!
The road in and out is sure to thrill any motorcyclist!
