Trekkin' and Such: Blow Me Down Provincial Park
http://newfoundlandehboy.blogspot.com/2012/12/blow-me-down-provincial-park.html
Thursday, December 6, 2012. Blow Me Down Provincial Park. Blow Me Down Provincial Park is located in between Lark Harbour and York Harbour. It offers stunning scenery right on a small peninsula between the harbours and amazing hiking trails. It is a popular place for campers, but it has a small campground feel, with woods separating the sites and facilities. My Aunt's father once counted the stairs and reported there to be about 400. Needless to say it is a good workout. So, I have hundreds of pictures t...

Trekkin' and Such: History/Language Lesson!
http://newfoundlandehboy.blogspot.com/2012/10/historylanguage-lesson.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. Anyone who has ever visited England, or maybe even the far southern parts of the United States knows that there are many different dialects English. In the ever true words of George Bernard Shaw, "England and America are two countries separated by a common language." One of the hardest to understand dialects of English has to be that of Newfoundland's. Lets get to the good stuff. Here are just a few terms I have picked up over the years, and a few from Wikipedia:.

Trekkin' and Such: Bottle Cove
http://newfoundlandehboy.blogspot.com/2012/12/bottle-cove.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2012. Bottle Cove is the small cove located next to Little Port and Lark Harbour. A map of the Bay of Islands. As you can see on the map it is located across the peninsula from Lark Harbour. If you follow the road to the end of the line you get there. I am writing about Bottle Cove because it is one of my favorite places to go when I'm not in the mood for a hike. If you need to kill a little time, or get out of the city to a scenic little beach then this is a good place to go. It is ...

Trekkin' and Such: November 2012

Sunday, November 25, 2012. Icebergs: Nature's Ocean Ice Cubes. I was just looking at some pictures from my trip to the island two summers ago when I happened upon a side trip that we took up to St. Anthony to see icebergs. It was quite a split moment decision. We had been hearing for days that the best icebergs in years were making their appearances at the northern tip of Newfoundland. On the way I searched for a last minute hotel room, accidentally booked one in Labrador (woops! The icebergs refrigerate...

Trekkin' and Such: Hiking Gros Morne
http://newfoundlandehboy.blogspot.com/2012/11/hiking-gros-morne.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Gros Morne is the second tallest mountain in Newfoundland. It is on the west coast, a little more than an hour north of Corner Brook in Gros Morne National Park. As I speculated in the last post I believe that Gros Morne means big mournful mountain, or something like that. I have only hiked Gros Morne once, and I can't wait to do so again! The mountain takes about 8 hours to hike, so you have to start in the morning. 8 hours is an estimate, which includes some short breaks.

Monday, November 5, 2012. Gros Morne: Part 1. Western Brook Pond in Gros Morne National Park. Gros Morne. An interesting name for an interesting place.

It is home to numerous waterfalls classified as the highest in eastern North America. To get out to these magnificent waterfalls and cliffs there is a short (...
