WE’RE THINKING OF YOU, GAIL. GOOD LUCK!

NEWFOUNDLAND – PORT AUX BASQUES TO DEER LAKE.

Day 28 – There was no wind this morning. What a concept. At 7 a.m. it was 34 degrees and sunny. We’re looking forward to getting on the road again. What was supposed to be a fairly quick stopover, turned into 4 nights here. But this was a very good campground to be staying in for the longer period of time.
