    A Canadian friend of mine once said: "If you want to go to somewhere REALLY remote, try Labrador"...although Canada has far more remote provinces...Nunavit, NWT and Yukon. Gas is as nuch as $9/gallon? Wow. Well, you did get to see icebergs! You DON'T want to see Polar Bears, except from a distance. It's really stark, very wide open, but in its way, lovely, dramatic and impressive. Quite a bit of grey skies, though. Dave: You did the right thing in Goose Bay/Happy Valley....gee, that sounded a little shaky! Thanks for sharing, it's a lovely video. Have fun on the ferry ride as you head south to NF! Can't wait to see what the ferry ride was like...maybe you can also give us a brief peek what it's like to be a ferry passenger (inside). Take care!

      When we leave NewFoundland in July we will be taking a 17 hour ferry ⛴️ from Argentia to Nova Scotia. We paid extra for a dog friendly cabin so Roodle would not have to stay in a crate the whole time. We will definitely show everyone what this ferry is all about. Thanks for coming along.

    Thanks for this video. I have sketched out a route including the Trans Labrador highway, not sure if I’ll ever take it but fun to watch.

    Cool video that reminded me of the trips I made to Lab City in the early 2000's for Railroad photography. That is Arcelor Mittal's (former US Steel) Quebec Cartier Mine railroad that you saw first at Fire Lake. They run from the Mine at Mount Wright to the St. Lawrence Seaway at Port Cartier PQ. At Lab City, you came across the Quebec, North Shore & Labrador. A Rio Tinto Mine that was formerly the Iron Ore Company of Canada. There has been some new build out since I was there in 2005, but I believe the two railroads still don't connect.
    My last trip, the 389 was Gravel from Manic Cinq to Gagnon and from Fire Lake to Mount Wright. Looks like almost everything South of Fire Lake is paved now.
    Great video. Keep up the good work!

    We are really enjoying this trip you are on... Now let me say I was shocked when you gassed up and decided not to completely fill. To my mind that's a big mistake as I learned the hard way that the next town you are relying on to fill might be out of gas, I'll never do that again.
    My rule now is when the fuel gauge gets to half I fill at the next opportunity and I always completely fill the tank.

      Labrador and Newfoundland are separated. We took a ferry in Montane, Quebec across the St Lawrence River ( so we could avoid Quebec City) … we then drove through Quebec until we got to labrador City in Labrador. We then drove 800-ish miles through Labrador and back into a tiny corner of Quebec where we took our 2nd ferry across the Labrador Straits landing in St Barbe, NewFoundland. Newfoundland is a HUGE island and we will have to take a third ferry to leave the island.

      There are 3 main ferries ⛴️ onto the island.

      Sydney, Nova Scotia ⛴️ (17 hours)
      Southwest part of the island-Port aux Basques, Newfoundland to North Sydney, Nova Scotia (7 hours)⛴️
      West part of the island Blanc-Sablon Quebec (after you drive 800 miles through Labrador) to St Barbe, Newfoundland (1 hour) ⛴️
      And then once you are on the island of Newfoundland (which Is HUGE) there are several ferries to smaller islands off the coast of Newfoundland.
