Buried Treasure: Digging Deep in Western Newfoundland

There are few places better suited to “social distancing” than the mountains (yes, they have mountains) of Western Newfoundland. The only problem is the people there are so warm and friendly you don’t want to distance yourself from them at all. This is a story about digging into the unexpected and finding adventure where every you end up, but it’s really about a group of BC kids discovering just how similar mountain culture is on the other end of our great nation.

A few steps into our first day on the trail, my daughter and I descend into a dark, windless ravine. It’s humid. Close. There’s a faint hum in the distance. Then, in a blink, we’re surrounded. The hellhole of a mosquito blitzkrieg is upon us, and we run. The swarm follows, and I imagine a long, thin cloud of tiny dots trailing behind our heads, squealing a chorus of glee. In a torrent of curses, screams and continuous swats and swipes, we sprint until we emerge into the sun and breeze of the next sideroad, panting and laughing, momentarily free.
