West Coast Explorations;

We traveled from Port aux Choix to Rocky Harbour and stayed in Gros Morne RV park. From here we visited coves in the area: Norris Point, Woody Point and Trout River. We decided that Trout River seemed to be the most isolated area we had traveled through in the province.
The landscape in the Western area is so different from the Eastern and Central sections that we felt that we had entered a different province.
We traveled to the Marble mountain ski area just east of Corner Brook and stayed here for one day. Stephenville was our next stop. While there we traveled 80 km. west of the town to the tip of the cape. In our opinion, this area comes second to Trout River in the category of isolation.
With extra time due to not going to Labrador and the western coast not taking as long as we anticipated, we decided to go back to our favourite place, Fogo on Fogo Island. The trip from Stephenville to the ferry to Fogo only took us 5 1/2 hours so we decided that the drive was worthwhile.

Wednesday September 12th we will start making our way toward the Gulf ferry at Port aux Basque. We have a summer full of memories to take with us.

Internet is very sporadic here.

Port aux Choix

On September 1st when we drove to where the ferry leaves for Labrador we made a second decision to turn around. The first one was south of Ferryland on the Irish loop. Heavy rain and wind played a role in this decision. We travelled south to Port aux Choix,which is known as the the capital of the shrimp fisheries in Western Newfoundland. Our camp was at the Oceanside RV park. We enjoyed a very nice seafood dinner near the waterfront Saturday evening and we spent Sunday, a beautiful day with sunshine, walking on the rocks along the shore. The wind is enjoyable when the trailer is not being towed!Walking along the beach we found many fossils in the rock. Here are a couple of pictures. To show the size we placed a penny in the picture.
