Dave & Maxine's Cross Canada Bicycle Treks

Yup, we made it to the ferry with lots of time to kill and guess what.
You probably guessed. The ferry was canceled until later that afternoon. There shoots a da’s riding. Awe well, at the weather is turning for the better.

We decided with the weather being as bad as it has been, we would find another time to do the Cabot Trail and see the Bay of Funday in better weather. It was so rainy and foggy we wouldn’t have seen a thing. So we are headed toward the PEI ferry.

Here we are just after midnight on the M.V. Leif Ericson that has just set sail from Port Aux Basques for Nova Scotia!

Today we arrived at Corner Brook and we were welcomed into the home of Reg and Pam. They have two of the sweetest little tots.
We had met them in a restaurant on the road a week ago and they offered up their house as a place to stay. They are quite amazing and we were given the treat of our first home cooked meal since we have been on the road. There was an awesome steak dinner (right up Dave’s alley) a variety of salads(which I have missed dearly). We hope we can return the favor one day. Thank you so much for a wonderful day Pam and Reg.

Today we went Geocaching on Marble Mountain. For those of you who are not sure what that is, it’s a grown up version of treasure hunting. You need a GPS and you need to log onto a computer and find out the coordinates of where a cache is near you and then you head out to find it. Sometimes it takes you crashing through a bush or walking in a stream or they may be in the middle of a city. When you find it you write your name in a book to say you have been there and put some little thing in for everyone to look at. You may also fine a Travel Bug looking to go somewhere so you take him out of the box (usually a tupperware container) and you take him to another Geo site. We left one here to make his way around the world.
His name is Solid. Solid Asa Rock.

We were riding into town looking for a B&B to stay at and we discovered this one. Looked interesting and clean but when we inquired there was no one home….. We had to take a picture of this one!

Right, funny title for a blog. This will give you an idea how small the towns are. How little business the local restaurants get.

After a cold and wet day’s cycling we arrived in Gander to another warm and friendly welcome! Thanks Karen for a great stay, and as we are doing this for charity, many thanks for your discount!

It’s supposed to go up to 13 today so we will have a warmer ride. I say maybe because I have heard that before.
