| Dead trees at Arches Park |
Today was a “driving day,” heading north towards Viking country! Started out overcast and windy, which almost cost Jim losing his Red Sox hat as he was photographing “The Arches” at Arches Provincial Park. These rock formations were formed over millions of years as a result of glacial action, wind and water.

| Roadside stop for lunch |
The beaches – all stone or gravel –
were evident along the entire coast. One
of the best things about traveling in an RV in remote country is when you get
hungry, or need to use restroom facilities, you just pull over. After 30 miles of no restaurants, and no more
towns for 20 miles, we pulled over on a gravel strip and ate – with wind
blowing steady against the RV at about 30mph!

| One of many caches of lobster traps along the road |
As we continued the drive along, we spotted cache after cache of old style
lobster traps, just lying aside the roadway.
Like with the thousands of wood piles we’ve seen, we suspect nobody
messes with them!

| St. Barbe RV Park |
Finally made it to St. Barbe (pronounced “Barb”); this is where the Labrador Ferry departs from, and the 3:30pm Ferry was unloading as we arrived. The RV Park is a huge gravel lot surrounded by a fence with only electric hookups (no water or dump station at each site). The only other things in town are one gas station/convenience store, the Ferry terminal attached to a restaurant/motel, and some fuel storage tanks. Works for one night!
