Our threemonth tour of Newfoundland, from midMay until midAugust, 2022, was an amazingly epic journey. This easternmost Canadian province, a halfhour ahead of Atlantic time, was the 10th and last to join the Canadian Confederation in 1949. Before that time, it was the Dominion of Newfoundland and a part of the British Empire.
Part 15 includes our visits to Hermitage and Seal Cove, both on the Connaigre Peninsula. While we were enjoying this beautiful southern tip of Newfoundland, the wild fires we had driven past on our way south had continued to grow. Strong winds had caused this fire to jump the highway and closed the only road north back to Grand FallsWindsor. We have documented this unexpected event as we slowly made our way back north.
