The Road Into Happy Adventure
Today marked 8 months on life on the road! I spent the night in Happy Adventure which I felt was a befitting name for a special personal date. I celebrated with coffee on the rooftop with the umbrella setup. Heide, my wife, returned back to Alberta over two months ago, making life out here on the road all the more lonely. Sharing an experience or place with someone else makes it much more fulfilling. A photographer named Steve was down on the docks photographing and took this pic of me and emailed me while I was still parked in the same spot – thanks Steve!

Salvage is just down the road from Happy Adventure. Salvage, much like Happy Adventure, is a tiny fishing village of maybe 40 houses, with fishing shacks lining the harbour.
Brian Hunter was born and raised in Salvage. Today, Brian was out fishing for Lobster, and out of his 150 Lobster traps he had set, he caught 23 Lobsters. At four dollars a pound, that doesn’t even cover the expenses of fuel, equipment, etc. There may be tough times ahead for Brian and other Newfoundland fishermen. In the left hand photo, Brian is seen mending his cod net.
Nets hang in the spring breeze on the backside of Brian’s fishing shack.
These Salvage fishermen were checking their lobster traps.
Walter has lived in Salvage for 60 years in the house behind him.
Terry is the village craftsman in Eastporte and according to Terry, business is good, with many projects on the go and more coming up all the time. In the summer months, Terry will get upwards of 200 tourists a day stopping by to see what he’s up to.
