Went for a little walk/snowshoe (not required but helpful) in Gros Morne National Park, up to Baker's Brook Falls. Great day for it. #nfld
Today in 1949, Newfoundland joins Canada, becoming the 10th province.
Prior to this, it had been the Dominion of Newfoundland, and then a colony of Britain. On June 22, 1948, 52.3% of the island's residents voted to join Canada.
Joey Smallwood became the 1st premier.

Old Cape Spear Lighthouse, Newfoundland
March 21, 2013
I was invited to accompany @StevenKennard on one of his teaching trips, this time to Newfoundland (1/4 of my family hail from NFLD ).
This lighthouse is iconic and the day was perfect for our only day of sightseeing.

@flexghost @NerdGirlInVR I have a feeling this game is going to be rather boring. Especially, if there are no first downs. 😆 What happens if no one scores? 😆

Today in 1985, Arrow Air Flight 1285R crashes at Gander Airport in NFLD. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 256 people on board.
It remains the deadliest aviation accident on Canadian soil. It is believed ice contamination on the wing led to the crash.

All the little windswept trees, Kelsey Drive. I dunno why, in #Nfld, you'd allow a large development without considerable windbreaks... but yet town keeps allowing it (Stavanger, Hebron, Galway, etc.).

Didn't care for soda streams too much initially, but mannnnn do I loves a bit of syrup and soda. The season is upon us now.
(Scattered drop of #vodka to the mix does no harm either)

Just finished 1899. Holding judgements yet.. except the map.
In the first episode, we are given co-ordinates for the Promethius and shown a map (#Nfld makes an appearance!), The Kerberos 130nm north of the Promethius, which tracks 7.25 hrs at 18 knots).
Just past the Milne seamounts and south of the Flemish cap. Land is ~500km away, whereas to turn back is ~3350km. So towing the boat back doesn't work out?
