KeithR Posted July 1, 2009 #1 Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) We went on our annual Iceburg hunt today!. Came across these....the big one was approx 10 miles away and they say its close to 3000ft ft long...I'd say that one will be there all summer! Keith Edited July 1, 2009 by KeithR
RossKean Posted July 1, 2009 #2 Posted July 1, 2009 Keith Where is that one? I did a Newfoundland trip last summer and covered a large portion of the coast. Didn't see icebergs, just whales in the water and moose on the land. (This was end of July/early August). Going back this summer to see the bits that were rained out! Likely the same time of year and will focus a little more on the west and north rather than the east (had good weather for that part). Ross
KeithR Posted July 1, 2009 Author #3 Posted July 1, 2009 Ross Those were bergs were off Twillingate.....North of Gander. Let me know when you are over this way and we may be able to get together for a ride. Keith
RossKean Posted July 1, 2009 #5 Posted July 1, 2009 Keith We had a beautiful day in Twillingate last year (see pics), but no bergs. Started raining on the way from Twillingate to Grand Falls-Windsor and was at least damp for the rest of the trip. Ross Edit: I'll let you know if I'm going to be in your neck of the woods.
Brake Pad Posted July 2, 2009 #7 Posted July 2, 2009 Do you what would look good in that picture? Me!!!!! where is that, i want to go.........
RossKean Posted July 2, 2009 #8 Posted July 2, 2009 its right here... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=twillingate+nl&sll=48.79239,-56.557617&sspn=5.19719,9.832764&ie=UTF8&ll=49.645847,-54.757233&spn=0.31923,0.614548&z=11&iwloc=A Copy and paste into your browser if a "click" doesn't work. North coast of Newfoundland. Need a ferry to the island of Newfoundland from North Sydney Nova Scotia. Twillingate is actually on an island but there are bridges. I strongly recommend Newfoundland as a MC destination. MANY beautiful things to see and probably the friendliest people you'll find anywhere. Ross Edit: About 2800 miles from where you live.

Brake Pad Posted July 2, 2009 #10 Posted July 2, 2009 Only 2805 miles away, (One way) No problem:doh: with wife in tow, it would take 8 days to get there. I guess we will have to fly up......
Yama Mama Posted July 3, 2009 #11 Posted July 3, 2009 Those were such beautiful photos. I have never seen a glacier before. And no I was not on the Titanic. Hehehehehehe:big-grin-emoticon:
