This is what happens when your eyes are on ice bergs and not on the road. We learned that Newfoundlanders will try just about anything to help a person out. This fellow actuallly thought he could pull eLVvie out of the ditch with his four wheeler. eLVie moved but not enough. Just when we thought it was time to call Good Sam along came another willing Newfoundlander and this time with a big truck.
This time eLVie made it to the road just as the tow rope broke. We were very grateful for the help and eLVie was no worse for wear.
This is the siren ice berg that had lured us off the road and subsequently in to the ditch!!??
The Vikings were the first people to arrive in Newfoundland about 1000 years ago. L'Anse Aux Meadows is a World Heritage Site and is situated north of St. Anthony at the northernmost part of the province.
I can't imagine crossing an ice filled ocean in a boat like this? It is thought that the Vikings sailed down from Iceland looking for new lands.
Some of our boon docking stops along the north west coast.
The Provincial and National Campgrounds that we stayed in were all but empty and we could have our pick of ocean view sites.
These formations were called thrombolites and were living creatures millions of years ago.
Some how I can see rob in that boat crossing oceans!!
