There's really nothing there except a small provincial park and some picturesque but unexceptional (by local standards) scenery. 

 

Now if you get the chance to go to Gros Morne Park, on the west coast (past Corner Brook, up around Bonne Bay and Rocky Harbour) that's not to be missed.

Agreed.  When we (ahem) bypassed Baie Verte  we were on the Trans Canada turned right someplace and went through Gros Morne.   Spectacular.  Also saw signs while going through the park telling us how many moose/car accidents there had been that year and how many people had been killed.   We thought that rather unnerving and so were very vigilant.  From Gros Morne we went to L'Anse aux Meadow.  We stayed in Port au Choix on the way up and back, and in St. Anthony for one night. The terrain sure changes,  doesn't it?

OKay, folks!  Sometime later today, ElsieD should be opening the foodblog.  Whether she'll have time or inclination to post here before then I don't know. At this point before a trip our household is usually in an uproar with last-minute preparations, but she may be better organized.

 

Here's the last teaser photo, or maybe I should call it an appetizer: Roadside art.

I"ll post a link to the blog when it opens.
