Moving On
Time to hit the road and go to St. Anthony. Tomorrow we go to Labrador for the day.
This was a good stop in Rocky Harbour. Yesterday we first toured the lighthouse and then drove to the Gros Morne Visitors' Center. One of the most impressive centers we've visited anywhere.
Beautiful viewing area, spacious exhibits, etc.
We took Maggie and Chuck with us for the day and stopped in Woody Point for lunch. Maggie and I also detoured to visit a rug hooking studio in town. Then it was off to view the dory races.
Quite entertaining. Whoever didn't get tangled in the other boats was usually the winner. After one heat, we left, having "got the gist of it all".
More scenery viewing of table mountain. A rained-out drivers' meeting and then Joker at Helm's motorhome.

Gros Morne National Park
We are in a beautiful national park, Gros Morne, and are scheduled for a hike and boat tour of the fjords tomorrow morning.
Tonight was a wonderful seafood platter dinner at a local motel restaurant. Tomorrow night we hear a Newfoundland band, Anchors Aweigh, with members of the caravan.
Yesterday Larry and I went ziplining with Chuck Helwig and it was awesome. The zip is only a year old (in August) and reputed to be one of the best in North America. And, I even made the first run (being so experienced and all). More lines than in Whistler and without all the step climbing. A hearty two thumbs up!
The guides even gave Maggie a ride up the mountain so she could take pictures and hike down with us. A very cool experience.
