On the way to…

A named place on the map, not a building, and the Trans-Canada runs straight through it. There is nothing to stop for, but this stretch makes its own weather. Check the conditions link in the seasons block before you drive it.

Port aux Basques → Cape St. George →
The most famous stretch of wind in Newfoundland.
