Yes Labrador has a good amount of tundra , but that IS part of why we go to see it , isn't it ? Pay attention to it while riding sedately and you will be able to appreciate it and catch the nuances of the repeating ridges and water channels in the ' bogs .

Visit the little fishing towns at the ends of the gravel side roads , like St Lewis, Charlottetown,Pinsent Arm ,and south the old towns are on the main highway as at Mary's Harbour, . Red Bay has the Basque Whaling Museum .

In Quebec do time your ride to take in the guided tour of the Manic Cinq hydro electric dam where you get to see the inside of the actual dam structure as well as the generator halls built into the solid bedrock .
