Stop 1: Wreckhouse
The most famous stretch of wind in Newfoundland. The Long Range funnels southeasterlies here hard enough that a man was once employed to decide whether trains could pass: Lauchie MacDougall, the human wind gauge. The Trans-Canada runs straight through it, and high-sided vehicles still get held when it blows. Check the forecast for your timing.
Stopping here adds 0.2 km to the drive.
