On the road again . . .
First, let me thank my best friends, Tim and Sharon Atkinson, for letting me crash at their home in Michigan. I have not seen either of them for far, far, too many years (my fault!!) but it will not happen again!! Next time Tim, we will remember to put the sunshade up on the boat!!…

Gateway Arch National Park and Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site
Today was a busy day . . . rainy as most of my days are . . . yet still packed full of new experiences! Last night was a tad restless. The area was wracked by severe thunderstorms. They woke me a few times, banging through the fifth-floor hotel windows. Apparently, the storms became so…

Outward Bound!
I am, once again, in Port aux Basques, Newfoundland, waiting to board the car ferry for Nova Scotia. It has been a long day with about seven hours of driving from Dildo Run Provincial Park, outside Twilingate. In some ways I am sad to go . . . the people and scenery here are magnificent.…

Pistolet Bay Provincial Park, Vikings, Icebergs, and a Feathered Thief!
The sailing across the Strait of Belle Isle, back to Newfoundland, was uneventful. The weather was calm, with almost glassy seas, partly sunny but not warm, and I offloaded from the ferry and headed north to Pistolet Bay Provinical Park.

My plan was to originally spend four days in Labrador. The first was going to be at a B&B that was one of the first hospitals in the Province. I was then going to spend the remainder of my time at Pinware River Provincial Park. This was all changed by the horrible weather that has…
