Travel Newfoundland August 12, 2018, 07:50:06 pm This is my 23rd trip to Newfoundland/Labrador over the last 34 years of motorhome travel. We have made many friends on what Newfoundlanders call "The Rock" over the years. We are again spending our summer here again seeing whales, icebergs, nesting sea birds and more beautiful scenery on non RDF (rain-drizzle-fog) days and this mid June, snow. We like to boondock a lot and most residents are happy to find a place to park in the small outport fishing villages. This year we will be attending two weddings of friends in different parts of the island. We do take a lot of photos. I do not 'Blog' because of time restraints and it is too public. Yesterday I met a motorist that stopped me saying he had just met another Lazy Daze traveler from Massachusetts near St. Marys, NL. Not surprisingly, we haven't seen a LD on this trip since leaving Florida in early June. However, that could still happen even though it is a 575 mile drive across the island. Here are a couple of campsites we have enjoyed lately. 10 Likes

Re: Travel Newfoundland Reply #3 – August 13, 2018, 07:17:30 am While dry camping at the Cape St. Mary's Lighthouse, we got up at 1:30AM this morning to watch the Perseid Meteor at it's 2AM peak. The sky was quite clear and we did see a few. I also got the camera out but didn't capture any. However, I did notice earlier the previous late evening a bright orange light to the east above the horizon and thought it was a radio tower light in the distance. Jupiter and Venus were also in that evening sky but nowhere as bright. Well, that light had moved across the sky at 2AM. We checked with our phone astronomy app and discovered it was Mars! Many times brighter than I have ever seen in Florida. Checking the NASA web site we found this night is the brightest Mars has shown since 2003. It certainly was! The attached photo shows Mars with the lighthouse's passing beam illuminating the LD and a neighbor in his teardrop trailer. We were the only two RVers in the area. Another memorable travel moment. 1 Likes
