Transportation to Newfoundland

This would be so cool:

A St. John's MP persuaded fellow parliamentarians to support consideration of a
fixed link that would connect northern Newfoundland to the Canadian
mainland.
"I think it would be good for national unity as well," St. John's
East MP Norm Doyle told the House of Commons during a Tuesday night debate.

Of course they are thinking of the economic reasons, but I'm thinking of the touristy reasons.

Last summer I traveled to Newfoundland for the first time and it was awesome. Thankfully I slept through the 6-7 hour ferry trip. We camped in Gros Morne National park and it was beautiful. So much wildlife and the scenery was amazing. Would you like to see some pictures? Here ya go:


















And, of course, the requisite moose and beaver:

Thanks Dimmy! But I do have to give the photo credits to Ramble. He took a lot of great pics on that trip.

Glad to hear you got away from the "big frigger" moose. Luckily in the park they are a little accustomed to people staring at them, I think.

It's too bad that Canada still allows the annual clubbing of baby seals for their fur. The Humane Society of the U.S. and Humane Society International is currently in Newfoundland to report on this cruel hunt.
