DAY 11 SAT. SEPT. 14 ST. ANTHONY - ROCKY HARBOUR

Cool but sunny this morning. A quick Timmies breakfast and refuel and we said goodbye to St. Anthony, our furthest point north. Back down the 430 we headed. Today was the start of moose season and we encountered many local lads clad in cammo and orange vests in their pickups plying the highway. We have absolutely no problem with these guys hunting: moose are not endangered in Newfoundland and what these men kill will fill many a freezer in local homes and restaurants. We didn't see any kills, but heard of a couple of guys who "got their moose today."

The drive back to Gros Morne National Park is speactular, as described earlier. Today, though, we had time to stop and photograph many wonderful sights. We did an hour and a half hike at the Western Brook Trail to see the most iconic part of Gros Morne, a place where a glacier lived and died eons ago. Such beauty in a windswept place.

Tonight, we holed up in Rocky Harbour, enjoyed another sea food feast ( cod and scallop ) and plotted our next moves. We are tired but game !!
