Going north along the West coast we entered the lower portion of Gros Morne.

Pitcher Plant- this plant grows in bog and washes. And can survive by luring

flies inside its flower with nectar then drowning them in pools of water

to absorb their nutrients. This is the flower symbol for New Foundland.

At Trout River we ran into SKP’s Deb & Tom, and Joan & Ken

A delightful village. Several of the local women knit socks, mittens, & scarves hang them on a line in

their front yards. Note the picture of the house. We have noticed this through out the Maritimes. Very

common, don’t know why. But they just have doors going no were???
