Hi all, we are now in Labrador. Went geocaching yesterday and seen
a bunch of whales real close to shore. Today we drove up to Red
Bay and watched a couple more. Red Bay feels like it is the end of
the world. No more black top roads beyond that. Only gravel clear
up to Goose Bay. Over in NFLD I saw a bear and many moose. A sign
on the Canada Hwy said that last year there were 660 moose/vehicle
colisions. Last night we paid $1.18 Canadian/liter for diesel. I
don't even want to know how much that is per gallon US. The ice
bergs are so neat. As I'm typing this in my RV, I can see ice
bergs when looking out the window. I can't say it enough how
friendly the people are here in Labrador and NFLD. Yesterday when
I fueld up, the gas station owner told me I could just plug in at
his building if I can't find a camground. He does not lock any
door except his liquer store. Even his automotive business garage
never gets locked. A total stranger at the camground gave me his
home phone number in case I needed help with anything. Another
camper took us over to see his 1 million dolar fishing boat. He
gave us some fresh cod. The dialect is tough to understand
sometimes. Today (7/1) it was 46 Degrees F. One lady at the dollar
store jokingly (I think)told us that their summer was last week.
That's all for now. Bernie
