4B9 (Simsbury Airport) Fly In and Car Show

Gorgeous day for the annual fly-in in Simsbury Connecticut.
Sun, planes, cars- seems like a great excuse to hang out on a Sunday and enjoy probably one of the last summer like days of 2009.  Hundreds of planes and cars turned out for the annual event. This year we attended with the Mog, the 1965 series [...]

The Last Piece of The Mog Returns Home Via Montreal

Spare tire left in Labrador returns home via Montreal and a midnight pickup.
Sometimes it seems like a trip never ends. After our “breakdown” in Labrador and the subsequent decision to leave the spare tire behind because of weight considerations we had to figure out a way to get a 275 pound large tire back home. [...]

About To Depart Newfoundland

I am writing this update from the ferry terminal. We will be boarding the ship for Nova Scotia shortly. Only 1000 miles and we will be home!
So far the vehicles are performing flawlessly (knock on wood). We spent the afternoon riding zip lines high above a waterfall in Corner Brook Newfoundland. Great adrenaline rush.
Last  night [...]

Gros Morne National Park for Five Silent Days!

Spent several days exploring L Anse aux Meadows, the site of the first Viking landing in North America- long before Columbus. Saw plenty of icebergs and moose- in fact had a [...]

Aboard The Goose Bay to Cartwright Labrador Ferry

Hello from Labrador! Doing what we do best! Enjoying some frosty beverages and updating this blog from the Sir Robert Bond marine vessel on the way to Cartwright Labrador (overnight ferry). Modern technology is amazing- internet in the middle of no where.  We had to prove that we were indeed alive and well after the [...]

Update From Labrador

We have reached Churchill Falls Labrador, halfway along the dirt Labrador highway between Labrador City and Goose Bay. Due to a significant vehicle problem (a long story to be published later) we are lacking sleep, food and some of our wits but we are only a half day behind schedule.
We have many people to thank [...]

Update From Baie Comeau Quebec

A quick update from Baie Comeau Quebec
Murphy must be traveling with us. Certainly Mr. Weather is not.
Our satellite tracker went bonkers today and did not update our position all day. A few of you might have been tracking our trip and figured we broke down in Quebec City. Not the case. No issue with the [...]
