scamp yahoo groups user "honda03842" AKA Norm, goes there and said he was going back but i dont know when. He said...The 13 hour Labrador Ferry is no
longer necessary since they opened a new segment of the road, is actually the
reason we're going back.

I assume you are referring to the section of road from Goose Bay to the Labrador coast. It's built, but it's rough. It takes you to a shorter ferry ride to NL. Lived in Labrador for a number of years, still have family living in Churchill Fall.

Jerry,

We've been to Newfoundland 4 times, spending about 6 months there including one cross Labrador trip. We typically are there sometime from May to July though the first time we went in September. The unfortunate part of the September trip was we missed the icebergs.

In all our trips we have never seen a Scamp or Casita in Newfoundland, sort of surprising in retrospect though I believe a Scamp or Casita would be perfect, partially because it reduces the ferry charges.

We absolutely love Newfoundland and of course Labrador, even more rural. We plan to return so we can drive the new segment of the Labrador highway.

I can't imagine any issue with an August or September trip. I will say that to really see Newfoundland you need two months, at least and a lifetime would not be too long. The people and land are great.

Safe Travels,

Norm Milliard
