From Gros Morne to Corner Brook, NL

While we were at Gros Morne, the truck started to have transmission problems. It was very sluggish gearing from 1st to 2nd gear. We worried about the monstrous hill that we had to climb to return south again out of the park. We found out that the closest place to have a transmission diagnosed was at Corner Brook. What to do? Do we leave the trailer at the park and drive out with just the truck for repairs? Or do we take our chances and pull the trailer out with a questionable transmission? After considering all the pros and cons, we decided to leave Gros Morne a day early and proceed to Corner Brook with the truck and trailer. We really wanted to spend another day and investigate the Tablelands but there would have been another hill the locals called 'the Struggle' to negotiate.
Well the truck did get up the hill and we reached Corner Brook and the folks there were so good to squeeze us in for a look-see. It turned out to be a couple of sensors that needed replacing. So we were shortly on our way.

Here are some of the views on the way south out of the park.

While investigating Corner Brook, we came upon this store. It was very ironical because early in our vacation, Bob talked about Flotsam and Jetsam, neither of which the other three of us had ever heard of before. Worth a good laugh!
