Ed was feeling geocached deprived, so he took an hour this morning and found a few geocaches around Gander. Then we drove to the most easterly campground on our trip. We're about 45 kilometers from St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland. The campground we're at is just off the Trans Canada highway and has absolutely nothing around it. We chose this location as it puts us within day trip range to a lot of things we want to see in the Avalon Peninsula. Once we settled in, Ed ran a couple of errands (and found a couple of geocaches) in the town of Holyrood, about 6 kilometers away. Lucky me, I did laundry.
On our drive today we saw moose detectors on the side of the highway (this is the second time we've seen them). When a moose is detected, signs flash lights to warm of a moose on the highway. We've also seen a couple of signs indicating the number of car/moose accidents so far this year. Moose on the highways appears to be a major problem in Newfoundland.
