The grande portage is now over so it’s time to slow down and relax. We had tentatively planned our next stop to be Lomond River, just outside of Gros Morne Park, but decided to stop at Corner Brook instead. We had admired the city from a distance on our last trip and wanted to get to know it better.
The scenery is stunning between Part-aux-Basques and Corner Brook. We met many hunters returning with moose and caribou.
We found a Kinsmen Campground on the outskirts of the city which worked very well as a base from which to explore. It’s not particularly attractive but we got a fully serviced site for only $20.00. After setting up the trailer, we set out to see the sights and check out Blow-Me-Down Provincial Park, about 45 km past the city. Unfortunately, the rain became quite heavy with hints of snow and visibility was very poor. We decided to leave the trip to the park for a clearer day, hopefully tomorrow, and turned around to explore the city and pick up a few more supplies.
Powered up and watered up, ready for the unserviced sites in Gros Morne Park.
