trans labrador highway june 19 from new england

hi everyone,
I'm heading from CT, USA on June 19 up to Canada to do a circle of the Trans Labrador Highway, going from CT to Quebec,then to Chicoutin and on to Baie-Comeau then up to Happy Valley Goose bay via TLH then a ferry to Cartwright, then riding down to Blanc-Sablon where i pick up the ferry to Black Dove Cove In Newfoundland, maybe riding around there a bit exploring and then on down to Channel-Port Aux Basques to pick up the ferry to Nova Scotia exploring there some again and then off to RT 1 to follow that to the states and the highway back home. If anyone is interested let me know, Ill be camping the whole way maybe one night in a cabin but I love the outdoors. I'm giving it a minimum of two weeks and I may be out a bit longer possibly 3 depending on how nice of a ride it is. These are the estimates of driving time with out little excursions from map quest Total Estimated Time: 93.0 hours 24 minutes Total Estimated Distance: 3331.91 miles If your interested in the trip or just have some advice your welcome to come along or speak some words of wisdom. thanks
Cheers
*dusty*

Dusty,

Sorry about the dump. Hope you get you're stuff back and are back in the saddle soon.

If it's any consolation at all I did the same soft spot boogie just east of CF. The rock dust filled potholes are invisible and are definite "Oh Shit"ers.
