Newfoundland First Impressions

 We spent our first day in Newfoundland exploring our home base in Glovertown.


Glovertown is a city of giants!


We wandered through the bog on the Ken Diamond Memorial Trail ...

... and then visited an old mill (called "The Mill") built in the 1920's but never went into production due to financial issues at the time.

We also visited the visitor center at the Tera Nova National Park, but no pics sadly :-(  We wandered down one of the trails until we got tired and turned around and came home.

Next day (today Tues June 21!!!) we decided to visit Salvage Nfld and wander its trails.  (We've been calling it "Savage" by mistake, but after walking the trails the town is pretty savage.


Continuing this vacation's theme of "Sonya sitting on benches looking at things", this trail had very well positioned benches and picnic tables.  The coastline was amazing!


More coastline, I had a hard time curating a small number of pics for this blog.


In between vistas, some amazing forest trails.  We saw a few very fresh bear scats, so we wandered along singing "Welcome to the rock!" (that's the only line we know from that song, it got pretty monotonous but it kept the bears away).

When society finishes breaking down (should be any day now, 2024 by the latest) I'm going to move to Salvage.  There's a waterfront house currently listed for $120K and I figure remote enough to attract any attention.
