RVing to Newfoundland Ep. 4 - ICEBERGS and VIKINGS! L'Anse aux Meadows/The Great Northern Peninsula.

[@ShawnPatterson402]

Bucket list stuff for sure. Great video...continued safe travels...

[@andreagoodling2133]

Good morning. Love your channel. Wondering if you would do a video ever on unique places to visit in Canada. We live in Wisconsin, been to 4 Candian providences, but will be back. It's hard to find all the cool places without a local helping.

I think it's hilarious that she finally references the movie "the Christmas story" when she's going to put her tongue on that piece of ice when the obvious reference for me was when she put on the survival suit and then she's like the kids little brother that can't hardly move after the mom dresses him up to go outside in the snow

Thanks Nicj, that gave Cindy a genuine laugh…”I cant put my arms down!”

[@nicj99]

Oh, I also hiked to the top of Gross morne .. it was June had a beautiful sunny day with waterfalls coming off and still snow

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Sounds amazing!

[@nicj99]

I am from Oregon and I was living in Idaho in 1991 when I made a road trip to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in my VW van with my cat and I went all the way up to the northern tip where you guys went to L' Anse aux Meadows and I would pull chunks of ice out of the ocean to use in my icebox in my van for refrigeration and I did a little bit of "tallying" on small floating iceberg next to the shore, and I found out what Tucker Moore was .. I spent the summer on Cape Breton Island near Mabou great video!

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Sounds like an amazing adventure!

[@nicj99]

Wow, that plaque says August 2, 1991. I visited that site in June 1991 and I don't remember any visitor center or any of those pathways only have that extensive infrastructure that looks like it was all there after I visited just remember some sod mounds replicating what was discovered in 1960

Terry and Cindy (and Ranger), thanks for taking us all along on this camping expedition. I seriously doubt we'd ever get up there so it is nice to be able to see it through your camera lens and perspective. I have to ask, do you wash the Ram and MiniLite before we see them in the video? They always look so clean, polished. I guess the bug population there is not near what it is down here. ~Jim

Hi Jim, so glad you're enjoying the series! It really was a facinating expedition that we enjoyed every bit as much as the trek to Alaska. As for keeping the rig clean....I had a good chuckle at that. We do use a ceramic coating (made by turtle wax if you can believe it) on the trailer that does a pretty decent job of providing gloss and it definitely makes it easier to remove bugs (and black streaks) - which I did a few times during the trip just using a bucket of water and brush on the nose of the trailer. As for the truck, I was starting to go a bit crazy because we couldnt find many car washes in Newfoundland - it only got 2 washes in the 9 weeks we were away.....lol.

[@JimMFishing]

@ Terry, I have been using Meguire Marine Flagship on the MiniLite since I have been using it on the KW. I do use their ceramic product on the trucks and will give it a try on the MiniLite. The bugs are an issue here in Florida, especially in the spring and summer. And the black streaks appear no matter how much you clean the roof. Did we err with the white exterior?? Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey!

[@TrueNorthCamping]

@ for us we really like the white colour scheme on the Rockwood…and we have lots of bugs here too that make a huge mess…but they really do seem to clean off much easier with the ceramic coating.

[@nicj99]

The scene at 12 minutes 18 seconds in the video is exactly what I remember nothing more no walkways no statues no "meeting of two worlds"

[@vivian2077]

Your filming and editing is getting better and better! We are enjoying your series as we plan to go next summer. What time of year were these episodes filmed? Is mid June too late?

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Thank you Vivian. We left our home May 22. Our ferry to Newfoundland was May 31. We arrived in Gros Morne June 1 and in St Lunaire on the Great Northern Peninsula on June 5 and were there 4 nights. Hope this helps.

[@nicj99]

Interesting how they seem to have tweaked the dates of first landing there because in 1991 they were quoting the year 990 for leaf Erickson. They seem to like that nice round thousand years ago number I don't know if carbon dating has got so precise that they can dial in 30 year difference or not but I think that's kind of funny.

[@TheRoVingMoose]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing. What month was this trip please? We're looking at RV'ing over there next spring (May), and hope it's perfect ice berg time. :--))

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Thanks very much! We were in the St Lunaire area with the icebergs June 5-9. Hope that helps!

[@TracyBirds]

I was told that touristy places don’t open until July, but that doesn’t seem true since you are there May/June.

[@TrueNorthCamping]

There were a few places slow to open but we found most (especially historic sites) opened in early June.
