Terra Nova to Gander Nfld

There have been a few misty days on the Bonavista Peninsula when I have felt like a hobbit who packed too much stuff. I have no ring of power to throw in the fire but I have an ego that could listen more and talk less. I was extended a warm welcome in Terra Nova.

Day 7 & 8 Arnold’s Cove, NL

After a week on the trail woke up after a good rain with two windows missing on the tent, glue gave way I guess. I bought the tent 6 years ago from MEC so decided to call their service center for advice. I used duct tape for quick fix but knew that was a bandaid,
