dinneR ★ Posted August 17, 2021 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2021 We had that one on our short list of routes last year. The logistics sounded hard and then covid, so we scraped it for now. I've read so much Howard Norman, I feel the need to visit Newfoundland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were flooded with American tourists from the eastern seaboard every year. Do not go there without heading just a bit north of the trail to Gros Morne National Park 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it was widely touted that if you wanted to see Alaska but it was too far/expensive to get there, then go to Newfoundland because the climate/flora and fauna is similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way! I could see, though, how years ago folks did see it as more "approachable" than Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I'd be on land, I'll be picking @Longjohn's brain for ways to identify quicksand and best methods to survive a trap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
