Heading North in Western Newfoundland

 From Gros Morne we went north on the Viking Trail...our next stop was Arches Provincial Park. There we boondocked overnight. The area has arches carved by the sea. Eventually, these rocks will return to the sea.

 


 While parked at Arches, we drove back to Cow Head to see the lighthouse. On the hike up to the lighthouse, we passed this rock. There was no reason for its name, just a big rock...

The lighthouse is no longer in use...good thing since it is surrounded by trees! I wonder how many times the light keeper banged his head on the door while tending the light.

 
 
We first saw the arches at low tide, but since we spent the night, we also got to see them as the tide was coming in.. In case you are wondering, the water is part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.


 Arches Provincial Park was our 28th stop since we left home on April 29th. There are many more stops to come on this trip.
