The iPad or whatever else is involved reached on new low today. Here I am in Labrador, Happy Valley - Goos Bay, ready to post the last two days' posting for Days 7 and 8, and although I can get both 3G service and WiFi, Google aparently does not work up here. I know there will be no internet connection for the next seven days or so, so this may be the last posting for a while, bt I do not know when they will be. In the meantime, here are the headlines for the last two days postings, whicvh I will post when I can, along with the photos. (I am posting this on a desktop in the information center in town.)
Tonight we will camp on the beach at NorthWest River, Labrador, and then Tuesday through Thursday night off the road somewhere on the road to Blanc Sablon, Quebec, where were will catch the once-a-week ferry to Nastashquan, Quebec. Where we go from there, who knows?
A summary of what we have experienced so far:
Defender is working admirably.
Dogs are in their element, Erde especially, who has finally found the freedom she has been searching years for, and does not know what to do with it. It seems we had to come 2000 miles to find a place where a dog can be a dog, Leben, of course, is his loyal self, sticking close to me.
The road is all I expected it to be, although they are paving some of it. While this takes the "fun" out of the trip (for the Defender anyway), it does allow you to concentrate on the magnificent views, which change every minute, and no two are the same. You have mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and road, and that's it. Go figure it for yourself. If the drive is 8 days long and seven hours a day, multiple those together and then by 60, and that's how many different views there are to see. Absolutely magnificent, especially the camping at night besides these wonderful lakes and rivers and in a day or so, the Labrador Sea.
Photos will be added to all the various postings at some time in the future. When they are posted, the heading will have appended to it "Photos Included"

Later...
When I got to Happy Valley, I fully expected to get WiFi or 3G, but I got neither. I would becable to call up the first page of a web site, but then my screen would darken, indicating that I could go no further. I called ATT to find out why my internet 3G or WiFi did not work here in Northwest river when I had the international option and iPad shows 3G is available. As it turned out, somehow my iPad lost the connections since Labrador City and by selecting Settings, General, and Reset, my connections were reset and everything is just fine.
