We spent one night in a private campground in Antigonish, NS. We stayed at the same campground on July 3, 2001. I woke up on July 4, 2001 with my right arm hurting so bad I did not think I could stand it, and it still has not stopped hurting.
After Antigonish, we spent three nights in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. From there we took an overnight ferry from North Sydney, Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. We spent last night in a provincial park. We are currently in Stephenville, NL.
Stephenville was a small village prior to 1941 when the U.S. Army built an air base to use during World War II. During construction of the base, Stephenville’s population grew seven-fold. It is now a town of about 6,500 that services a population of about 25,000. The people have fondness for the United States. However, I could not find anyone that would trade us Justin Trudeau for Donald Trump.
We are going to St. Barbe, Newfoundland to take the ferry to Labrador. I am not sure when we will get to Newfoundland, but we are getting into sparsely populated areas so we may not have Internet access for several days.
