Camp for the night

We found a turn off 100 km north of Port Hope Simpson, 400 km from Goose Bay. After changing the oil on the Ural I wanted to switch out the rear drive wheel for the spare with fresh rubber. That's when I noticed the spokes were beyond loose! I was able to move the wheel almost and inch each way due to loose spokes. When I went to remove the rear axle for the change out, it was stuck!
After much effort it was my best guess that the axle had been slightly bent preventing it from sliding out with ease.
This dis not sit well, I couldn't get the bad wheel off, and if I could get the spokes fixed I still would be stranded if I got a flat. This could not have been a more remote area for this to happen.
Not being able to locate my spoke wrench, I was able to use an 8mm and a Canadian dime.
The plan was to ride north, check the spokes and make a call around the junction to Cartwright 90km away.

Rough Road Ahead!

That is an understatement, loose gravel over hard gravel with potholes. It didn't matter if you went 10mph or 80, this was one tough section of road. The scenery is breathtaking, iv slowed down to around 20-40 mph the BMW boys headed off at 80 mph. We meet up every 100km or so, they may be in a rush, but I'm enjoying the trip and view.

Whale watching

Ferry ride to Blanc-Sablon

Little more fun than the redeye from Sydney.

Red Bay Labrador

We stopes for lunch in this small fishing town, after this it's no fuel for 150 km and all dirt until Goose Bay 1000km away. We met up with Charley in Sydney, NS he bumped into us here and there but stuck with us when we started the Trans Labrador Highway.

Disembarking the ferry

The ride out of Blanc-Seblon was very scenic, a coastal twisty road though Quebec into Labrador. There are small fishing towns every 10-20 km, we fuel up at the first pump and head towards Red Bay, 100 km away and the start of the gravel highway.
