Day 20:Fri Sep 1-Cornerbrook to Rocky Harbour


We woke up this morning to heavy overcast skies and intermitant rain. We got underway about 10:30 and headed east on the TCH towards Rocky Harbour. The wind was pretty strong but there was no rain. We stopped in Deer Lake for breakfast. We then headed east on #430 towards Rocky Harbour. This is the entrance to Gros Morne National Park. On the way we took a side road # 431 to Trout River which is an outport on the coast. On the way there we went by the "Table lands" which is a large outcropping of rock that was pushed up out of the ocean floor millions of years ago. We then continued on to Trout River. It was a very quaint outport village where we toured a couple of heritage buildings and then had a very good cod supper. We then rode back out to # 430 and headed for Rocky Harbour on the coast. The weather was quite a bit better later in the day and it was pretty good travelling. We got to Rocky Harbour and booked into our motel which is very nice. We spent the night watching the BC vs. Montreal football game.
