I’m up in Canada for work this week and stumbled upon an amazing view or two.
I also have a Sentra for the week. It’s perfectly meh, but has heated seats which is fantastic.

I swear there are more adirondack chairs in eastern Canada than there are people

After hiking a few hours this morning, that may be true

Looks like St. John in the second photo.

Back in the late 1970s, we took a family trip to the Maritime Provinces, driving from Norfolk, VA all the way to the northern tip of Newfoundland. Visited New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. Saw my first iceberg off of St. Anthony. It was one heck of a trip. I think it took a little more than three weeks. It also kindled my love of long-ass driving trips.

That sounds awesome! I much prefer driving if it’s feasable. I’m hopeful I’ll see an iceberg while I’m here or if I come back.

They’re probably all melting before they get there...
A couple of years later, we flew to Seattle and spent three weeks driving around the western provinces. That was awesome too. But fewer ferries.

Parks Canada put those chairs at scenic places in every National Park I believe.
This is in Nova Scotia. Sorry, I couldn’t find one I haven’t ruined by being in it.

Yeah, I was thinking this trip was too early. Should have a better chance when I come back over winter.
This is my first time in Canada, but I love it so far and will be back.

Haha, there’s a reason I’m not in any of the pictures I took. That’s really cool and I love that they did that.

Welcome to my corner of the world! Although I am a ways below you in Nova Scotia rather than Newfoundland....glad you’re enjoying your time here. :)

Thanks! I was originally going to go to Halifax, but switched due to scheduling conflicts. I’m pleasently surprised how nice the weather is for this far north.

The weather has been very odd lately - only just starting to dip into the single digits and below 0 Celcius in the last week and a half (at least here).
Cool, try and get to Halifax someday if you can, very nice city! I only live 50 mins from Halifax and attended university there! :)

Awesome! I’m almost certain I’ll be coming back soon. Not sure if I’ll be stopping in Halifax or St John’s though

I lived there for a while. I suspect it was a cold day hiking along that trail. Hell, that trail was cold in the middle of summer.
If you enjoy a beer every now and again check out Yellow Belly Brewery. Great restaurant and fantastic beer.

Yup. National Historic Sites too. Used to be a game to find them all until they started publishing coordinates.

It was a few degrees above freezing and felt pretty good outside, but definitely cold.
I’ll look into it, thanks!
