this is a trip report from 1 of the inmates over at ADVRIDER.com
good reading should get you primed for planning a trip to Labrador
I am going to try a run to Goose Bay this coming summer on the trans lab hiway.
I used to Live in goose bay in the 70's when my dad was in the Air Force , there is not alot of infastructure for roads to get into all the little fishing villages along the coast , ferrys are the means of travel , your best bet for the coast would be to hit goose bay and then see what you can see from riding out of the Goose area !
Keep me posted as I am trying to talk the wife into going with her Tiger also .

Last time I went up thar it rained 11 of the 12 riding days. Maine along the coast is nice but the traffic from Portsmouth to Bar Harbor was brutal. Pouring rain and brutal traffic. We took the ferry over to Yarmouth and rode all over Nova Scotia (in the pouring rain). From there we traversed up through Prince Edward island, into New Brunswick. The remote areas of New Brunswick were beautiful, even in the pouring rain. Running the '84 FJ flat out along those desolate stretches of highway, fully loaded with camping gear etc, was just awesome, even in the pouring rain. On through St. Stephens and back into Maine, Acadia National Park, incredible. Even in the pouring rain. We didn't get up as far as Labrador but I think you are in for an incredible journey.
Sounds sweet!
We'll need a good trip report, naturally. Take lots of pics and keep notes.
