I am sorry to report that the intermittent and low band width of wifi in Newfoundland and Labrador has made it quite difficult to do postings.  The last one I did covering the ride from Alma to Sidney and on to St. John’s NB, which took considerable time to compose and upload photos, got lost in cyberspace and couldn’t be recovered.  That was a final straw so I have reverted back to Facebook posts which are much easier and direct.  Sorry I can’t provide a running commentary on this amazing ride through the Atlantic Maritimes and beyond, but such is life.  We have to go with the flow and make adjustments to challenges as they come along.

We are now in Mary’s Harbour, Labrador.  Interesting area.  Quite barren but impressive in its wide open spaces.  Obviously it wasn’t too long ago (10,000 years ago) that it was covered by the Arctic ice shield.  We have just recently (Red Bay), said goodbye to the paved portion of the Trans Labrador Highway (affectionately referred to as the TLH) and are now riding on gravel.  We have a 250 mile jaunt tomorrow to Happy Valley Goose Bay LB which should be challenging, especially if our threatening weather turns to rain.

Will upload a few photos so you can get an appreciation for the expanse of Labrador and the TLH.

If you want to follow us on our trip, please visit me on Facebook.  Again, I am sorry that I couldn’t continue to keep posting.  Thanks for joining along on this amazing adventure.  Until then – – – Au revoir.  Je vais vous sur Facebook <We are getting near Quebec :)>
