River - Trout River: Part 2 Soon
I arrive at Woody Point. This is a
charming historic town with a population
of approx 400. I find it quite rewarding
as I linger a little, leisurely walking
and exploring along the waterfront.
A slow tour down main
street and I discover the Lighthouse
Restaurant. Perfect to have
dinner at tonight. Directly facing the
docks, it has a great view of Bonne Bay.
Rain, mist, and clouds.

The Tablelands are
visually quite striking.
Riding through this area
feels like I could be in Utah. The long
road punctuated by mild sweepers is cast
amid barren but colorful terrain.
However, today is a rainy-misty day and
much of the colour is lost.
The Tablelands are thought
to be evidence of continental drift.
Geologists believe that deep ocean crust
and the earth's mantle collided,
thrusting this mantle rock to the
surface. This was considered to be of
such geological significance that UNESCO
designated Gros Morne National Park as a
World Heritage Site.
