(Also called Gaspe & Atlantic Provinces by Adventure Caravans).

In June of 2022, two months after retiring from Schmidt Associates; Becky and I set out on a two month adventure. We took the RV 6,434 miles, over 71 days, from June 19 – August 29, 2022.

We (Duane & Becky) traveled in our 2021 Thor Axis 24.1 RV and Becky’s sister and her partner (Jennie & Roni) traveled in their Winnebago View V RV. We met-up in Indianapolis and traveled together to Niagara Falls and Acadia National Park before joining up with an Adventure Caravan group at “The Pumpkin Patch RV Resort” in Hermon, Maine (near Bangor). There we met a bunch of new friends for 2 months (the 59 day tour package was called “Gaspé & The Atlantic Provinces“. After introductions and a few days prep at “The Pumpkin Patch” we headed north for our first stop; Quebec City.

Map Above: the second month’s travels “on the rock” in Newfoundland. The straight black line isn’t accurate because the actual route the ferry took from North Sydney, Nova Scotia to Argentia, Newfoundland; curves south under St. Pierre and Miquelon but I couldn’t get it to map the curved ferry route.

There is basically one main road in Newfoundland; The Trans-Canada Highway (1). It goes from Port aux Basques to St. Johns.
The road north on the “Great Northern Peninsula” to St. Anthony is called “The Viking Trail”, Route 430.

We also saw lots of “Beware of Moose” type signs. There are supposedly more moose than people in Newfoundland. We looked for a month and never saw one…
