Today we travelled up the western side of Newfoundland. There is a ferry to Labradour, but as most of the roads are unpaved, it would only be a side trip - one we'll skip for now.
There are interesting things we've seen as we've travelled the highways of this province:
- Telephone and power poles that have a fence and large rocks to hold them steady instead of guy wires
- Garden plots in the middle of nowhere, it appears that if there is a patch of ground that can grow something, people will plant vegetables
- Cut and stacked wood, cords and cords of what appears to be community wood stacks
- Lobster traps by the hundreds, all stacked as neatly as the wood piles (waiting for next season I guess)
- Octagonal wood boxes at (nearly) every house for garbage cans. I'm assuming it protects the garbage from both wind and animals
