A post from Mark McCarthy: My cousin Daniel tells a funny story from his first year of geological studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s. On the very first day of class, the professor was explaining the many techniques that are used to identify different rock types. Colour is an obvious indicator, andREAD MORE

With all the steeped history, the momentous legends and lore, the intricate architectural features and the many brilliant natural attractions found throughout St. John’s, Newfoundland – I always find a way to include a stop at the ‘Terry Fox’ statue on the harbor front whenever I conduct a “City Tour”.

My Father and I are in the process of writing a guide’s booklet for our 12 day, comprehensive tour of Newfoundland & Labrador. Though we’ve yet to make it back from Labrador in our musings, I did write this introduction last weekend and thought this letter said so much about our company and the experience our guestsREAD MORE

A post from Eugene Flynn: Greetings from Rankin Inlet, The sun is hanging around longer now and today the temp rose to a balmy -30. Once it hits the negative teens I’m hoping to get a tan and stock up on vitamin D!! Moods are improving all around and hopes of spring take on aREAD MORE
