E – Last stop on a most memorable trip
Our last stop was in St. John’s and we stayed at a city-run urban campground called Pippy Park. It was literally 10 minutes from downtown and a great park. We were there for 4 nights after a relatively easy drive from Terra Nova. After we arrived and got connected we went into town and did…

Di: St. John’s and an Answer to the FAQ
Back to a city. It was really surprising to see how much the landscape changed moving across the province. One thing that didn’t change? The wind! Our first day in St. John’s was a blustery 63 km/hr wind in the city, and much stronger at the top of Signal Hill. This is a fun place…

E – Change of look in Terra Nova
After Twillingate it was on to the National Park in Terra Nova. We had a decent site in what is a very large park. We took on a couple of hikes here. There was a significant change in both topography and vegetation. The terrain was much less dramatic and actually was very Algonquin/Ontario like. One…

Di: Icebergs and Hikes in Twillingate
Another mechanical issue in Twillingate. Oi! We pulled into the provincial park and oohed and ahhed over the views and our wooded, lakeside site. We hooked up, opened up the slideouts, tested the propane and started planning for an afternoon in Twillingate. Not to be! I turned on the kitchen water tap and…..nothing. We waited…

E – Twillingate – Unique Challenges and More Awesomeness
After a spectacular time in Gros Morne it was on to Twillingate and we were wondering how could it get any better. It was about a 5 hour drive and our two night stay in Twillingate was at a provincial park with only 55 sites and the…uhhhh…unique name Dildo Run. We got to our site…a…

E – Spectacular Gros Morne
Our second full day in Gros Morne was centered around a boat tour in a fresh water fjord, Western Brook Pond. It was a 3km hike into the boat which was flat and with nothing really to see but once you got there…..It used to be a real fjord(salt water) but that was few years…

Di: Gros Morne Fjords, Bears, and Fog
Sightseeing on Thursday: Western Brook Pond Fjord You can’t out-think the weather here. We were scheduled to go on a boat tour of the fjord on Wednesday, but, trying to get the best day possible, changed the booking twice. So, with fingers crossed for good weather, we finally settled on Thursday for our BonTours Western…

Its been a while since we have travelled with rig but this trip was on the bucket list. There was a significant amount of preplanning for this trip to ensure we had as smooth a trip as possible😊. Based on information from friends and some googling it was advised to book the ferry to and…

Di: On the road and first days in Gros Morne
So beautiful. Gros Morne National Park is a great first stop after a long couple of days to get here. The diversity of the landscape is incredible. Every time we go around a corner there’s another amazing view. As, expected, we’re getting quite a variety of weather too. On our first day, we got a…
