Heading north up the Great Northern
Peninsula along Hwy 430

This is all that's left of the wreck of the S.S. Ethie.

Along the western coast of Newfoundland the trees are
battered so much by the almost constant wind they grow very low and
dense. The result is called "tuckamore", and is pretty
well impossible to walk through.

Not far north from Gros Morne National Park are The Arches, a pair of
huge rock arches situated right on the beach.

At Daniels Harbour there is a boardwalk trail running off to the east
through bogs. Along the way we found many Bake-Apple berries.
They weren't yet ripe, so we didn't pick any to snack on. But as
one of Newfoundlander's many traditions of utilizing foods from
the bush, these are commonly made into excellent jam.

Further along Hwy 430, heading north up the Great
Northern Peninsula.
The Long Range Mountains run northward parallel to the road, but
mostly inland off to the east. Here, near Eddie's Cove, the
mountains edge closer to the coast.

Flowers Cove. |

Near the north end of the Great Northern
Peninsula the main highway crosses over to the east side before heading
further north to L'Anse aux Meadows. It's a long, flat, empty bit of road. |
