First full day in Newfoundland

Our intent was to tour Corner Brook, the second largest city in Newfoundland, but this is Canada Day weekend and a holiday, so most everything is closed. We hiked up the hills out of town to James Cook’s Memorial. He was the first explorer to actually chart/map this area of North America. From on top the hills, we had a neat view of Corner Brook. Like Pittsburgh, of old, it is very hilly, but instead of the Thrtee Rivers they have the Humber Arm, and instead of the steel mills, they have a huge paper mill that is the main industry.
We continue our trek of this Western section of Newfoundland to Deer Lake. It’s a small town and the little beach/park is also a RV campground. So we found a home for the night. After settling in, we biked around town and down to the beach. Folks are in the water, the weather is partly sunny and mild but the water is chilly. We will just watch.

'Nerdy Bike'
Just wanted to check if the picture on Canada Day was a picture of the nerdy bike. If not, please send a photo of it :-D. (Just curious!) Thanks, Jamie
