I spent the week out in Newfoundland for work. I flew into Gander and was picked up by one of the regional techs out of St. John’s. We then headed to Head of Bay d’Espoir.

The forecast for the week was cloudy and showers everyday, but as always wait 5 minutes and the weather will change. Wednesday turned out to be a great day. The evening ended with a nice sunset.

At lunch one day the cook came out from the back and asked us “what’s you working to?”, it took a few seconds for me to process it to english, to figure out she was asking ‘where we were working’.

It was a good trip for wildlife, I saw a moose on the highway down to Head of Bay d’Espoir, a black bear near the site, and some caribou on the way back to Gander.

I drove back to St. John’s with Brent to catch my flight to Toronto. It was a good drive, only a few showers along the way. While in Newfoundland I only encountered 4 traffic lights, one in Gander coming out of the airport and three in St John’s, not bad considering I drove close to 800km. After three weeks on the road, I’m back for a week, before heading to Champaign, Illinois in a couple of weeks.
