Turn Around Day

Not only is it Hell-With -The -Bell -Tuesday, on this, the 16th day of our trip, 3,655 km from Dunromin, we made the turn for home. But it certainly isn't an end to  our adventures ... still more to come. One Newfoundlander we met who was visiting friends at a campground for the long weekend and was from Corner Brook, said "The best is in the west." (To clarify, she had never left Newfoundland.)




Taking the shorter ferry to and from Newfoundland does have an advantage: driving the same route west and east.  It rained all morning and was at times very foggy as we drove west  back through Terra Nova National Park. Fortunately the weather was clear when we were driving east through the park. We eventually drove out of the rain and  stopped  in Glovertown to eat lunch, made a brief stop at  a Tim's on the highway past Gander and arrived at Sanger Memorial RV Park on the outskirts of Grand-Falls Windsor around 4:00. The campground is situated on the banks of the  Exploits River, "one of the top Atlantic salmon rivers in North America".



We drove 420 km today. Harvee Too got a good power wash.
