Another beautiful day to travel. This time was even a hundred miles Bishop Falls inland, anticipating a fun time at the Salmon Festival, close to Grand Falls. Stop at the visitor center and gathered information Grand Falls salmon on the festival, considered one of the 100 festivals in North America. The festival lasts a week and about 30,000 people are expected. The main attraction this year is the Big Blue Band, Newfoundland and other popular rock bands.

Continue Bishop of Salto and camped at the municipal campsite at the base of the falls and the hydroelectric dam. The Exploits River is known for its salmon fishing. A fisherman is allowed only four river. To obtain a fishing license is $ 50.00 non-residents and the services of a guide. It is an expensive fish. Rather catch my own fish to market.

Today we had a choice of trips North or South. Directions to South Shore bays has been a journey of more than 150 miles. Most of the area was mountainous and forested to the Bay Area. On the south coast of Newfoundland, many fishing villages. The natives say the area is beautiful, but not worth the trip. We road to the place of other advanced tickled. The name itself twisted imagination (you'll notice that I said no tickling). A tingling, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is a narrow stretch of treacherous sea water usually between the rocks or cliffs into a port. The true origin of the word is unknown. But none of these boats are tickled on either side by the narrow passage, with rocks or sailors were delighted to go through this passage in the port of traitors when they arrived after it was launched over the North Atlantic. Thus, the name becomes. At the head of Tickle is a cod fish were collected. The fish had been gutted and opens. Only a few bones and the skin remained. Here are salted and canned. We have our fish before they are salted, nine books of $ $ 2.50 pound.
Since fresh fish, I did not want to stay too long in the tickling. However, it was a little side trip I had to do: Glover port. In 1879, the city entered the Guinness World Record for the largest giant squid ever captured. This baby was plus fifty-five feet long and weighs more two and a half tons. Its tentacles were thirty-five feet long. The squid has resurfaced to die. They are usually found at depths of the Atlantic. His mortal enemy is only sperm. In the village is a center of interpretation, which attempts to describe the life of giant squid (They species). Outside is a concrete replica of squid in which brought to earth a century ago.

Today, we went to Twillingate, Iceberg Alley. We found an RV Camp Resort Peyton has 30 amps of service. Commutated converter and we were back in business. Twillingate is at the end of a series of islands connected by bridges. The area is known as Iceberg Alley, but very few icebergs of the North this year. At the northern tip of the island of Long Point Lighthouse, inhabited by Jack May and his family. They operate a visitor center, restaurant and gift shop. Show guides inside the lighthouse, which is still operational. The light is fully mechanized, but the mechanism crank motion of origin still works. The keeper had to reset the time. Always at the forefront of looking at stations in the North Atlantic. The visibility was now thirty miles. We met a lady and her son who await the return of her husband crab more than 150 miles from the coast. He had called and said he was about ten miles the coast and on the way in. Nothing has changed since the old days when women captains of the navy "is awaiting the return of their husbands over the widow foot home.
The water is clear. You can see the different currents in the ocean by the different color lines in the water. Puffins, gulls and other birds waterfowl abound.
In the Street of Walter B. Elliott joins the New World and the Twillingate Islands berth first stage of faith fishing operation. David Boyd the owner, has been fishing for over fifty years. It shows how the cod were caught, and prepared for the salty old traditional methods, before refrigeration. All you want to know about the fishing industry in Newfoundland can be found here. He has tried in the 60's to convince the government to ban net fishing trawlers slide by multinationals. They do not listen and cod fisheries of the North Atlantic is like a highway. The ocean floor was scraped clear of life, and nesting areas were destroyed, it may not be fertile again for many generations. During the tour, shows how the liver oil cod calm the waves and watching the fish and seagulls go after pieces of fish, which results in the bay. During a trip to Newfoundland, is a must.

Twillingate left and stopped Boyd's Cove Interpretation Centre Archaeological Beotuck. The Beotuck were an aboriginal tribe of hunters and gatherers who died in 1829, when the last woman dies in captivity. Due to their lack of knowledge we have of this tribe survives. Archaeologist Dr. Ralph Pastore of Search San Juan Bay Notre Dame traces of this company. One day he finds a clearing. Without knowing what it was, he went to ground and noted the potential of an archaeological site. After a thorough search of the sample met the members of households eleven, including a ceremonial. Thousands of items, including stone arrowheads, bone of various animals, and iron working. While Europeans are seasonal fishermen left the house every winter and left behind things that did not need for example, iron nails, hooks, broken metal objects, etc Beotuck recycled products, including heavy iron spikes and remodeled in the tools they could use the spear and arrowheads, scrapers, etc. For over one hundred years, lived in peace, while the French in the English north and south have fought each other. When the English began to move through the Notre Dame Bay, the small tribe of Beotuck, no more than a thousand members, and finally fell extinct, mainly due to illness.
The archaeological excavation can be accessed by a path of 1.6 km. We took Morgan about it. He did pretty well and I did everything possible to walk the whole distance. But the heat and length made it impossible, especially with the proliferation of mosquitoes and black flies annoying piranha, who wanted to enjoy Buffet in our body, even if they had sprayed.
From there we started to take the ring road 330 near Hamilton Sound. We crossed many small towns, many residents having the same surname. We decided to camp in Musgrave Harbour. Out of the East were the Wadham Islands and the north, the island of Fogo.

In Puerto Musgrave is the Banting Interpretation Centre. Sir Frederick Banting, one of the founders of insulin, died in a plane crash here. Wreck and a replica of his plane are exposed.
I drove to the coast of Newton, the Venice of Newfoundland, because the city is built around nine tickle (Remember them?) connected by bridges. Here the family lived Balfour, a wealthy seafaring family. Since the 1960s, allow tourists to visit their property to see what life was like in those days. The family and still lives there part of the year. The Centre consists of two houses, one built on the 1870s, which housed about thirty people, and the other a Queen Anne design, built in 1904. Both houses are equipped with original furniture and memorabilia of family. employment ship Balfour was born in a hurricane than a year and ended up in Scotland. He turned lemons into lemonade, bringing home an engine of Calvin and marble sinks. All hands were saved. The Centre plays an interview with CBC Captain Balfour, who is fascinating in itself. The center has costumes representing Teachers characters in different school house, a stage of cod, and hunting from a boat replica of the seal. One building is used for a theater where plays are performed regularly. Newton himself is very picturesque.
He drove a few miles Greenspond another fishing village that once was the capital of this part of Newfoundland. The Courthouse was restored in 1904 and teachers to travel disguised Construction. Parking is minimal, especially on Saturdays, when everyone seems to be buying fish in fishing native species. This put much stress on the baby, trailer, and our personal relationship.
Our next step is to Gander, once a of the busiest airports in the world. All transatlantic flights had to stop here once to refuel. A week ago, the Concorde made an emergency landing here because there was not enough fuel to get to New York to London. London has been the experience of a heat wave with temperatures around 100 ° F. After supply fuel the plane took off. The condensed fuel in height, are not far enough from New York City. The only plane at the airport today was the U.S. air transport of the Force.
Near the airport are the ruins of the city at the time the Second World War. There is nothing left but the streets and few signs.
Just outside town is the monument Silent Witness victims of plane crash December 12, 1985 the troops of the 101st flying home from a mission peacekeeping in the Sinai peninsula, landed in Gander. He was a crew change and refueling, but at launch, the spacecraft failed and crashed, leaving no survivors. The cause is still unknown.
Another fact about Gander is its people. After 9 / 11, when U.S. airports were closed, many plans that had bound the United States, landed in Gander. The people of Gander and the surrounding area was in the airport and invited passengers to their homes. It really the spirit of hospitality of Newfoundland.
Our next step is to Botwood, where he spent the night in the old World War II amphibious Force Base Air. Even before the Second World War, Botwood is a great airport. The first commercial transatlantic flight in a Clipper aircraft landed here in 1937. This was the advent of a luxury air service across the Atlantic. This was after the Second World War when the sea had made the journey from the cart. A single plane PBY Catalina is located in the port today as a reminder of the heritage of the city. In the port is an island with a causeway leading to it, which housed a gun defense during the war.

Duct Glen Falls-Windsor and visited Mary March Museum, dedicated to one of the last Beothuck members of the Nation. It is interesting and highlighted the search for Beothuck in the valley of the Exploits River by Cartwright, Buchan, and later Peyton. At this time the country was dying from diseases introduced by Europeans and many disagreements between two cultures.
Behind the museum is a recreated village with different types of buildings the Beothuck used.
Within walking distance of a logging museum, included in the price of admission to the Museum Mary March. This is one of the highlights of our trip to Newfoundland. The museum is a reconstructed logging camp in 1920, where 40 100 men cut trees for pulp mills wood. The fields are generally used for two years before moving to a different domain. In addition to holding office construction foreman, cooks and kitchen and bunk rooms house, was the construction of the forge and the storage facility. The job applicant has been to sharpen the axes and saws every day. He worked in cutters night while you sleep. There were some interesting names for their various facilities: piss quicks, pot bitch, ass juicer, etc. Each of them was an important element in the lumber camp.
The result of cutting in general in recent weeks in August until the fall of snow. Newspapers have been transported to the river or the river itself is frozen. When spring came, they were expelled by the river at the mill. Finally there was a small cleaning kit to find documents scattered along the river. The salaries of the knives was the game, depending on the number of channels cut. Other jobs were paid wages.

Today we went to Baie Verte Peninsula (Green Bay) to see the mines and, above all the Indians of excavations Dorset soapstone Fleur de Lys, at the tip of the peninsula. On the way we passed a open pit asbestos mine, which closed for several years. Mother Nature is taking over, forming a lake at its center.
A Fleur de Lys is the site of the Indian heritage in Dorset from about 6000 years. It is pre-shaped bowls, lamps and other objects in the soft rock, then remove the site. The tools have been used for other hammers chisels and stone scrapers. Soapstone, which feels like the soap has properties that held the heat and has used for cooking pots and oil lamps. Talc is a part of the rock. Today, there are very few places in soapstone. A few scultpurers used for decorative purposes.
We made a detour to Tilt Cove. This was once a prosperous town of two thousand people. Today, she is the ghost town of only five families. The area is beautiful and isolated, leading to the cove Notre Dame Bay is surrounded by steep hills.

hiked Today, a beautiful sunny day. The first track we went to was the noise of the Falls Creek Road, where the water falls is eight hundred feet of the mountain. It was a short route, only one kilometer in length, but all the stairs. Morgan came with, but tired of approximately three quarters of the road.
After that we went a short distance Alexander Murray trails, some eight miles long, most of them climb to the top of a peak of 1,000 meters. More than 1,200 steps will take you to the summit. There is also a deviation in Corner Brook Falls, 205 steps in each direction. Falls seem to come out of the mountain, instead of falling on the mountain. The view from the top of the Green Bay area are beautiful. On the way two waterfalls, one of them named Gull Brook Falls. A walk, which is said to have only three hours, lasted nearly five hours in place. We came back totally exhausted.

We began our travels on the East Coast and, like the migrating birds, seek the warmth of the seasons. No more shoveling snow in Chicago. We have discovered volunteering with the National Park System. During our travels we have found that each town has a story to tell: some are more interesting than others. Both of us enjoy good listening music as we go. John has a CD he has recorded of Native American flure music. We have learned that RVing has a learning curve. We want to pass on some advice the help others avoid this trecherous curve. Life is an adventure. We are living it to the utmost.
