Day 31 - Fogo Ferry Line up to Pike's Arm on New World Island.

Day 31/June 3, 2016  Fogo Ferry Line to Pikes Arm on Twilingate Peninsula.


A very quiet night was had in the ferry line. Half an hour before load on the activity began with all the people-less cars getting their owners dropped off…even those that won’t make the first trip so they can move their cars up the line. 

 One car even bucked to first place in line…what brass…!
Uneventful ferry ride…almost everyone stayed in their vehicles so that is what we did.

Exploring the peninsula with Twilingate on it…David wanted to drive on all the roads so we did.  Had dinner watching an iceberg (no pictures)…then decided to go back on the road to find a better overnight spot (too close to main road). 
Overnight Parking

We drove some more and found Bridge Overlook on Pikes Arm. There was a nice little walk less than ½ mile up many stairs to several awesome overlooks with 360 degree views. In that 360 degree view spotted no less than 18 icebergs of size…not bergy bits. I am pretty sure that doesn’t bide well for climate change.  Depending on currents and other conditions, it can take up to two years for those icebergs to appear in Newfoundland from calving glaciers in Greenland.  It was so awesome we decided to stay there overnight as the parking was up a little hill and fit us nicely. Very impressive little park/walk.

Bridge Overlook had some awesome 360 degree views...see more below
