We saw extremes of both geography and weather today, starting with cold mist alternating with rain from Gander to Km 600 along Grand Lake. As we gained altitude and passed through the mountains to Deer Lake and past Corner Brook to Km 750, the sun came out and the temperature rose. The day ended spectacularly in summer after starting in miserable wet spring. It's interesting to see what gets left behind along the road - a jawbone tied up with a plastic bag and an iPhone cable (I could have used that if it hadn't rusted!) among the more usual bottles, rusted metal and bits of old retread. We also ran into Dave, cycling to raise money for cancer research, but he was too busy gaining kilometers to chat. We're still waiting to see our first moose, though. We returned to Corner Brook for the night. Tomorrow is reserved to explore Gros Morne National Park, then it's on to Km 900 and a day with relatives before catching the ferry back to Nova Scotia Saturday night. We hear that our garden back in Montreal is in zucchini overdrive and our fridge is getting full - got some cooking to do when we get back!! Stay tuned for more updates ....
