| The endless highway to Burgeo |

| Town of Buck Lake |
It took nearly
four hours to drive from Stephenville to Burgeo, a little over a hundred miles
on the worst road we’ve encountered in Newfoundland. Burgeo is a very picturesque seaside village
on the southern coast, and the only way in or out to get here is this
road. No gas stations, no convenience
stores, nothing but scenery with small scatterings of trailer camps and few houses along the way.

That being said, it is a lovely town wrapped around hills, coves and lakes. Additionally, Burgeo is the site of a beautiful provincial park, The local museum was unfortunately closed, but we drove the narrow roads of this village of 2000 enjoying the natural beauty surrounding it. There is a nice memorial in town with two tablets honoring the local seaman and veterans.

Sandstone Provincial Park is beautiful, well
laid out with trails and with boardwalks over the vulnerable wetlands. The views were beautiful during the day, and
the sunset was gorgeous in the evening.
We’ll make the long trek north and west tomorrow, but the journey here
was well worth it!
