A traveller does not have to venture too far before coming upon these types of road conditions, along the TransCanada Highway in Newfoundland.

We are a couple of hours out of Deer Lake, heading south along the TransCanada.

I'm guessing the winds do get a tad breezy through these parts.

After a four hour drive from Deer Lake, we have pulled into the information centre with Port aux Basque in the distance.

I'll Just Take One

We're having a relaxing bite to eat after which we'll be heading over to the Rose Blanche Lighthouse.

Not quite an hour has passed since our last stop and we arrive at Rose Blanche.

The Visitor's Centre we stopped at for a snack is located on the TransCanada Highway, just up from Port aux Basque in the lower left corner.

A Lighthouse Next to an Outhouse.

Rose Blanche Lighthouse

Looks quite comfy-cosy doesn't it? More so on those long, cold, and stormy winter nights.

Looking down from the top of the light tower.

YIKES!!

Oops. I guess I set the timer to 2 seconds instead of 10.

That's better.

It's time to head back down while we can still find our way because the fog is closing in pretty quickly.

Wandering Aimlessly.

Not too much out there by the looks of it, not even the parking lot is in sight.

As I begin to head down myself, I take one last look back towards the lighthouse, only to see it almost completely engulfed in fog.

Nah, I think I'll wait.

On our drive back from Rose Blanche we pull over to the side of the road. And while Donna and Keith take a stroll through the fog, Sharon and I search out some Picture Plants to photograph.

I want to see how the water is inside the bowl felt, but what I don't want is the plant folding up and digesting my finger, so I left well enough alone.

Next Up:
After 19 days of globetrotting around and across Newfoundland, we are leaving the island and ferrying back to Nova Scotia.

See you there.
