        Thank God that they did not outlaw pit camping!  I did not mean
to imply that the only place people camp is in gravel pits, I apologize
if I offended.  Your province is one of the best places to camp.
The scenery is just great and the hospitality generous.  Could you give
me a little more detail about the public access, like how from the water
is it public domain?  I was also wondering if there were many good
repair shops/dealers around the island? When I have been there before I
was driving a Saab, so I wasn't looking for VW stuff.
        We hope to be on the west coast this August and would love to
meet some Newfoundland Westie owners if you are on that side of the
island

Later,
