    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am in the middle of planning a trip to NL with two friends.
One is a painful novice and the other a two seasons veteran of Halifax downtown driving. I have not really driven in a group before and was wondering if any of you peeps had suggestions.
 
If you get to Gander they have really really good moose milk ice cream.

Or was it Goose Bay….. Can't remember… You better check them both.
 
They have Moose Stew available in a restaurant off George Street.
I have not been to my sweet adopted home for ten years.
It will be a hoot to drive back on a road I prayed I would never see again.

I suppose a ride with only three people would be everyman for himself.
 
In a group of three, the first guy usually hits the deer and the last guy usually gets the speeding tickets.
 
The moose are a real problem. When I first moved there in 2003 a guy I worked with had an uncle who was killed in a collision with one.
Swamp Donkeys is what they call them there bye.

I remember seeing my uncles 78 f250 after it hit a moose near Gambo it was destroyed lucky my cousin walked away. There were not many moose where I grew up in Ontario and I never realized the sheer enormity of them-- I was 8 so they seemed like monsters. Between that and the humpback coming up within meters of the 17' 9.9hp powered boat while a couple of miles off shore it was an enlightening summer. ..

oh then there was the basking shark.
 
Well I am, buying an old Concours to do the trip. I am sure there will be a lot of them on the road to clear a path through the moosessssses

Hopefully you'll come back with a better opinion of that road.:p

Rain gear, really good rain gear, maybe 2 sets and anything electric that generates heat, and I don't mean Suzuki stators, I mean vests, gloves, grips. You get the idea.:D People mentioned moose, those buggers will kill you. Reason being they're the same colour as the pavement and are basically invisible at night. Unlike deer that look at you and you see the glow of their eyes, moose don't do that.
