<-- Day 7 Aug 8th: Visiting St. John's For The Halibut | Day 9 Aug 10: Primitive Camping -->
Our intrepid Newfoundland crew spent the day meeting more folks and taking in the sights.
They started the morning at the break of dawn, hoping to see the first rays of sun to hit the North American continent. So, they drove to Cape Spear (A National Historic Site), the most eastern edge of Canada. However, Mother Nature fooled them, hiding the sun behind some clouds ....
After they returned to camp, Eric Penney, the father of Todd Penney, dropped by to visit. We first met Todd Penny in Fort Nelson, BC, at the end of our first day of the 2017 Alaska trip. He invited the Alaska Or Rust crew over to his auto shop (Dalex Auto Services) to meet some local townsfolk and enjoy some pizza. When Todd heard some of us were heading to Newfoundland, he made sure the crew had a chance to meet his father Eric. Meeting Coast to Coast Penneys is pretty cool! Any other Penney's we need to meet, Todd?
After Eric, the crew's next visitor was hunger, so they drove off in search of food. They found some at a seafood restaurant called Chafe's Landing in Petty Harbour.
Now, this is where I have one big halibut of a bone to pick with the crew. What the heck is going on here? I'm seeing a lot of burgers and not so much seafood being eaten. At least, please tell me those are fish burgers?
After lunch, the crew explored Petty Harbor a little bit.
Eventually, the crew left their vehicles behind, strapped on some hiking boots, and hit a scenic trail. It looks like it was a beautiful hike.
They even spotted a moose:
Eventually they reached the coast. Looks a lot like Maine's coast to me.
When dinner time arrived, the group ate at camp. About that time, the rains came:
I don't know if there were any plans after dinner. And, I don't know what is planned for Saturday. But, whatever happens, I will hope for some sunnier weather!!
