Day 15 – September 3

We are driving today to North West River and then further south to Port Hope Simpson. Little did we know that 180 km of highway 510 were under construction. And the black flies tried to hold us accountable.

I don’t know what Mary was thinking when she took this.

This morning we visited the Interpretive Center in North West River and then the Heritage Museum in the old Hudson Bay general store. Sharon was a fabulous hostess and spent an inordinate amount of time telling us stories about all the items in the museum.

Then began (2 pm) the long drive south along highway 510.

Travel south from Goose Bay.
Who would believe that this sign would appear on 510?

  1. We can see the experienced drivers who practiced by doing the Dempster all the way to Tuktoyaktuk! Looking good and very interesting. Can’t wait to see more photos when you visit us in Quebec. Looking forward to see your progress especially once you reach the island…
