Up early to catch the ferry from N. Sydney, NS to Port au Basque, NFLD. I'm getting pretty good at breaking camp and setting up. Even for one night, it is not too much effort. A couple riding a Harley were behind me in line as we rode onto the ferry. They were Newfoundlander's, and were experienced in lashing down the motorcycles. I foujd the couple again upstairs in the seating area and we started our 4 hour ferry ride. I learned that they had been to Florida on their bike in the past. This trip they were returning from a loop through Pennsylvania and Virginia. I described my roadtrip and destination. They highlighted the best route for me on a map and described some attractions and scenic rides that I should not miss. At the time, I started thinking about riding to the Avalon Pennisula and exiting the island from Argentia rather than touring all the way East to Jimmy's house and then back West to Port au Basque. That still seems like the most reasonable plan.
I exited the boat and started riding north. I've ridden some 75 miles and out toward the St George penninsula. I set for dinner of pork chops and hope to find lodging shortly. The best bet seems to be the campground on the way to Gros Morne National Park.
