Day 15 – Cabot Trail, Halifax, Logistics My day started early as usual, packing up the motorcycle, having two grain bars and a coffee to get me rolling. The roads were surprisingly busy (I think Sydney is a major port) with trucks already as I wound my way east into the Cabot Trail area. I…

Day 14 – Ferry Day, Sydney, NS Woke up at my usual early time with the sun (5am, 3:30 EDT) packed up my stuff and went to the Comfort Station where I ran into some Ontario folks doing an extended driving trip. They too were headed for the ferry in Port-au-Basques. I drove straight there,…

Day 13 – Barachois Pond Today was going to be a short driving day down the TransCanada so I added two stops along the way. The first, in Pasadena to take a look at the address provided by the Find My feature in iOS for my AirPods that I had dropped in my Airbnb parking…

Day 12 – Trout River I woke up having slept well despite the skylight in the Glamping Dome that alerted me to the very early sunrise. Today was my off day, and what better way to spend it than to tool around on the motorcycle without all the gear attached. First stop in Woody Point…

Day 11 – Gros Morne & Trout River I started early having coffee and a shower at 5:30 so I could be at the 3 W Link gas station to get my day pass at 7am and get back to the Inn for breakfast at 7:30 where I also picked up a falafel wrap for…

Day 10 – Ferry & Neddies Harbour I had a sparse breakfast and packed my gear to get to the ferry in time with a stop for the iceberg. The iceberg was impressive, even from a distance to see. I wish I had more time to talk someone (and pay) to get taken closer to…

Day 9 – To Newfoundland! Well, not quite, though the notice on the highway to set my clocks ahead by 30 minutes appeared while still on the mainland. The ride was about 8 ½ hours total with a riding time of 7 hours and the rest stops along the way. While in the desolate 292km…

Day 8 – Onwards to Happy Valley-Goose Bay Woke up well rested and managed to pack up the tent and have breakfast and get on the road by 8. Best part about all that wind last night, there were no bugs then, or this morning to contend with. The wind did continue, blustery and the…

Day 7 – Mid 2 After an early start (Oh look, another 1250 GS in Black) the first stop was Gagnon, a company town for a mine that was shut down, and the town was eventually torn down. I was hoping for a ghost town to explore, but apparently it was shut down, and the…
