We drove across the Northern Peninsula. The highways are largely deserted. We saw many roadside gardens far from any apparent signs of habitation. The local people plant gardens in the rich soil alongside roadsides with barricades to keep the moose out.
We set up the trailer at the Viking RV campground near Quirpon (rhymes with Harpoon). There was one other trailer at the site. It is very open. The few trees in the area are dwarfed by the harsh conditions.
We explored St. Anthony and Fishing Point where there is a park and interpretive centre.
At about midnight the winds changed to the northeast and became very strong. At about 1:30 a.m. we threw a rope over the trailer and braced the side walls internally with an expandable pole we had brought for this purpose. The trailer shook and creaked all night.
