As I mentioned a few days ago, yesterday I hit the road, heading to Gros Morne for a four-day course given by the Gros Morne Institute for Sustainable Tourism. This was my first road trip in awhile. My last one was a doozy – driving with the Berry (Laurelyn) south to Florida, west to California, up the coast to British Columbia, then back across the country. So comparatively, yesterday’s trip was a piece of cake, and travellers to Newfoundland should know that while the threat of moose is to be taken seriously, driving our stretch of the TCH is pretty easy and offers some great views.
I love being on the road, with my thoughts running as varied as the scenery. Driving along, sipping coffee, listening to music and sometimes just the sounds of the road – what a great way to spend the day! And since I am now a bonafied blogger, I took some shots along the way. I’m always excited when the mountains first start to peak up when driving west in Newfoundland. 
My chariot awaits!
If you’ve done any driving in Newfoundland, chances are you’re familiar with this big guy!
Long way to go!
Where it all began (my birthplace).
See? Wide open road – I told you it’s a great place to drive!
And there’s that view.
Welcome to Gros Morne (and yes, I did pull over to take all these pics!).
662km later, I reach my destination. Looking forward to an informative few days with a great group of people!
