Lost Canadian
Expedition Leader
I'm starting this a little late as we only have a couple weeks left to go but as the old saying goes better late then never. Anyway my wife and I are doing a little Eastern Canada touring. Our trip has taken us from the hectic confines of Southern Ontario into Quebec, up into Labrador, south to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, P.E.I., through New Brunswick, and finally back into Quebec (where we are now). We are visiting family right now but we will be leaving tomorrow to explore a few more areas of Quebec before heading back to Ontario for 1 last week of touring.
The trip has been great with only two problems to date, 1) a corrupt SD card with some of our Labrador and Quebec pics, and 2) a blown seal on my driver side Donahoe coilover. I'm pretty sure we've lost most of the shock oil, the drivers side is a little bouncy, but we're taking things slow. As for the SD card, I'll deal with that when we get home.
My only complaint would have to be the crazy black flies in Labrador. I had heard they were bad but it was borderline insane, at least for us as we were camping. We spent most of our time rushing from the truck up into the tent and back. Mosquito nets and deet did very little to discourage the little buggers from trying to eat us alive. If you go to Labrador, go in the fall and save your sanity.
The rest of the trip has been a complete blast however, there are no words to describe just how great it has been for me. I have truely gained a new appreciation and love for my home of Canada. Anyway I'll spare you my blithering, here's a small sample of our pics.
