| Three days in Cornerbrook, Nfld. Lucky enough to stay at the Gynmill Inn, a 1924 tudor style hotel located on Cornerbrook stream |
 |
| This fellow owned a 2nd hand store in Cornerbrook, he was quite a character, even showed us how to play the spoons, and gave us a ton on info about the area, and comped us some authentic Newfie music CD's. Thanks |
 |
| The locals told us while in Cornerbrook, we had to eat at a place called Aromas. I had the cod tongues topped with scuntchions, yum yum! |
 |
| One of the chores on the road, laundry day! |
 |
| One of the locals took us to Captain Cook look-out. Great view of the city. Down on the left is a pulp mill. |
 |
| Cornerbrook reminds me a lot of the Okanagan, but a lot lusher. |
 |
| View of the city and Bay of Isles. |
 |
| Cruisin down the TransCanada between Grand Falls-Windsor and Deer Lake, Nfld. |
 |
| Two of the medal bearer bike escorts, Wendy and Ty. They stay with the medal bearers while they do there 250 meter segment. |

 |
| Deer Lake, end of day celebration, the crowds are starting to pick up. |
 |
| Moose with moose, although why is there a statue of a moose in Deer Lake. Just askin. |
 |
| Not quite sure what Josh is up to, but it leaves more questions than answers |
 |
| Coming into Steady Brook, Marble Mtn. ski hill is right on the side of the Trans Canada. |
 |
| One of the medal bearers in Pasadena, Nfld, with her children |
 |
| I think most of the town of Steady Brook (pop. 276) came out to cheer on their difference makers, the medal bearers |

 |
| Day 11 was a celebration day in Cornerbrook. There were events planned like a group Zumba work-out, fun-run, and wheel chair basketball |
 |
| Really reminds me of the Okanagan. The inlet into Cornerbrook is 30km long coming in from the Ocean |
 |
| A little pre game pep talk |
 |
| Wheel chair crack the whip |
 |
| This elderly couple saw us from the highway and came in to donate $20. He said he gave Rick Hansen $20 25 years ago when he came through Cornerbrook and wanted to do the same. We are starting to get a lot of people wishing to do that, even though this relay is a celebration about difference makers across Canada |

| One of the radio stations came in to do an interview, I couldn't help but take a pic of the Kiss logo on the side! |
