It was pretty deserted in general, but there was plenty of regular traffic on the Trans Labrador and we even met some locals and had a wonderful chat (and saw a Sharp Shinned Hawk while chatting with them)!

Great description of that first section of the "dirt" road. Yes, that section was just fine. The section section, starting at the first iron mine you encounter to the Labrador border was worse. And that was an approxiamately 60 km section. However, we made it to Labrador City. Nice to have "spotted" you at your camp. The rest of the Labrador Highway is extremely "smooth" compared to these two dirt sections. I presently made it to St John's.

Awesome! Thanks for the update on the road further north and for all the cool pictures and updates on Facebook! Enjoy your trip. I look forward to exchanging notes for when we "go the distance"! 🛻

Hey, nice job. You are both very brave taking your lovely Airstream down such a long gravel road. I also ride an adventure motorcycle and this road was on my and many people's bucket list due to its combination of unpaved length and remoteness. But now I've heard they're paving more and more of it. I've read many rider's reports on doing the trip. All of them talked about how aggressive the bugs were! It's a tough place to suffer a mechanical problem and break down. BTW, the American term for the vehicle you follow through a construction zone is a "Pilot Car."

PILOT CAR!!! That's the word I was looking for!!! Thanks! I also got reminded that those ripples are called 'washboard road'. Quite nasty! We saw several biking groups on the road. I hope you get a chance to enjoy this epic landscape!

Do you have a transmission cooler? Since you are putting lots of strain on the transmission and odysseys are known for relatively weak transmissions

I’m still confused on the capability of the Honda. I love the fact that they are doing but I need to know what makes it possible. I’m only seeing a tow capacity of 3500 with a hitch weight if 350. Or am I mistaken.

Trailer looks too big for the vehicle while towing with those conditions.
