Day 20 - Beach in Stephenville, NL to Gander, NL Walmart

Day 20/May 23, 2016 Beach in Stephenville, NL to Gander, NL Walmart Although we left the beach at Stephenville early, we hit Walmart for wifi while David attempted to get coverage on his phone. Water was procured at the Canadian Tire gas bar (on Main street/chlorinated and potable…which is major concern for me). We poked around to find a dump station/potable water by the directions given us and finally found it (48 32.772/58 33.653) by Dakota Drive by the airport. So here it is almost noon and we haven’t even left yet! Corner Brook for gas. Corner Brook also had dump/potable water at the visitor information center. Exit 17 on the TCH 1 got us propane (for our internal propane tank)…a somewhat difficult task in Newfoundland. The wonderful man even said if he was closed to just call the phone number on the door and he would come out and fill us up even if it was just a few liters worth. He knows it is hard to find☺ We are making a push for eastern part of Newfoundland (as far east as we will go this time) and will then work our way back to the west and ferry. News tidbit…there were 660 moose collisions last year (moose and car) in Newfoundland. Made it to Gander today…more time than I wanted in rv with no walk. We are parking overnight in a Walmart that is closed until 8 am…making it quiet. I was going to go food shopping but when we arrived in town no grocery stores were open….Canadian holiday.

No pictures a "commuting day"...making tracks to head east!
