Book Synopsis Gros Morne National Park by : Michael Burzynski
Download or read book Gros Morne National Park written by Michael Burzynski and published by Breakwater Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gros Morne is the largest and most spectacular national park in eastern Canada-one of the best known parks yet one of the least visited. It is renowned as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and for its unexpected landscapes: massive cliffs, fjords, alpine tundra, white sand beaches, and the golden Tablelands plateau. The geology, plants, and wildlife have drawn naturalists and researchers for decades, and the human story of the coast stretches back over 4,500 years. This guidebook reveals both the accessible park and its hidden treasures. It explores coast and forest, mountain and lowland, backcountry and frontcountry. An indispensable guide for planning a trip at any season, or a companion during a visit, it also describes services, campgrounds, trails, and other facilities.

Download or read book Subpar Parks written by Amber Share and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **A New York Times Bestseller!** Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America’s national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors. Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply "Too cold for me!" Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as "Too spiky!" Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, “Save yourself some money, boil some water at home.” Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors. Equal parts humor and love for the national parks and the great outdoors, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend time outside as well as have a good read (and laugh) once they come indoors.

Book Synopsis The Killdevil Lodge Experience in Gros Morne National Park by : Stewart Payne
Download or read book The Killdevil Lodge Experience in Gros Morne National Park written by Stewart Payne and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2019 marks the sixtieth anniversary of the Killdevil Camp and Conference Centre, situated in the scenic Bonne Bay area of Lomond, Newfoundland and Labrador, in Gros Morne National Park. The twofold purpose of this book is to tell when and how the site was acquired in 1959 by the Diocese of Newfoundland and developed over those sixty years, and to hear first-hand the experiences of people who have spent time at Killdevil, particularly campers and staff. Thirty-five people have sent the author stories of their experiences. Some stories pay tribute to certain volunteers who gave many years of service directing camps and to making Killdevil what it is today. Bishop and Mrs. Robert Seaborn came to Newfoundland in 1958, Bishop Seaborn to be the assistant bishop in the Diocese of Newfoundland. They naturally brought with them their experiences and love of church camping and planted the same in what has become known as the Killdevil Camp and Conference Centre. In 1959 a large house known as Killdevil Lodge was purchased on a fourteen-acre site. Bowaters Pulp and Paper in Corner Brook deeded 30.6 acres of adjoining land to the developers. When Gros Morne National Park came to life in Bonne Bay forty years ago, Parks Canada expropriated the Killdevil property and paid out $200,000. From there on the property has been leased and has carried on church camps and conferences. In the beginning the focus was on church camps for children and young people, but almost immediately it expanded to include a conference centre. All the people who pass through the gate at Killdevil are visitors to Gros Morne National Park, which is important to Parks Canada. In addition to the thousands of people who have experienced Killdevil in one way or another, the organizers have had, during the author's time as Bishop of Western Newfoundland, three Boy Scout Jamborees, in 1987, 1991, and 1995. In 1987 there were more than 1,600 scouts and leaders on the site. This book shows through personal anecdotes, historical narrative, and photos the Killdevil experience from its beginnings to present day.

Download or read book Mattie Mitchell written by Gary Collins and published by Flanker Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An adventure story from award-winning author Gary Collins: Newfoundland's Favourite Storyteller! "There is a feeling that comes to one who goes unafraid into the wilderness. For the very few who experience it comes a sense of belonging; of being a fragile part of the mysterious whole; of profound peace; of wanting never to leave," says Gary Collins in describing the inspiration that overtook him when he penned the final pages in this, the biography of Mattie Mitchell, a hunter, trapper, and guide of Mi'kmaq descent whose daring feats became known worldwide, but which history books somehow forgot. In researching the life and times of Mattie Mitchell, critically acclaimed author Gary Collins (author of the award-winning What Colour is the Ocean?) gleaned much insight on his subject from the diary and other personal papers of Marie Sparkes, granddaughter to the remarkable Mi'kmaq woodsman. Now, for the first time, Mattie Mitchell's legendary deeds are revealed in full, comprehensive detail. In 1998, the government of Newfoundland and Labrador recognized Mattie Mitchell's contribution to the growth and prosperity of the province by opening its Mattie Mitchell Prospectors Resource Room. In 2001, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada recognized Mattie Mitchell as a person of national historic significance. In 2005, a plaque in Mattie Mitchell's honour was placed in Gros Morne National Park.

Download or read book Sweetland written by Michael Crummey and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twelve generations, the inhabitants of a remote island in Newfoundland have lived and died together. Now, in the second decade of the 21st century, they are facing resettlement. They have each been offered a generous compensation package to leave the island for good. There’s just one proviso: everyone must go. Gradually, all of the residents surrender to the inevitable. All of the residents, that is, but one: old Moses Sweetland. Motivated in part by a sense of history and belonging, and concerned that his somewhat eccentric great-nephew will wilt on the mainland, Moses resists the coercion of family and friends in order to hold onto the only place he’s ever called home. As his options dwindle, Moses Sweetland concocts a scheme to remain the island’s only living resident. Cut off from the outside world, with the food supply diminishing and weather shredding away the last evidence of human habitation, Sweetland finds himself, finally, in the company of ghosts . . . Written with incomparable emotional power and depth, Sweetland is a story about loyalty and courage, about the human will to persist even when all hope seems lost.
Book Synopsis The Unlikely Thru-Hiker by : Derick Lugo
Download or read book The Unlikely Thru-Hiker written by Derick Lugo and published by Appalachian Mountain Club. This book was released on 2019 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derick Lugo had never been hiking. He didn't even know if he liked being outside all that much. He certainly couldn't imagine going more than a day without manicuring his goatee. But with a job overseas cut short and no immediate plans, this fixture of the greater New York comedy circuit began to think about what he might do with months of free time and no commitments. He had heard of the Appalachian Trail and knew of its potential for danger and adventure, but he had never seriously considered attempting to hike all 2,192 miles of it. Then again, what could go wrong for a young black man from the city trekking solo through the East Coast backwoods? The Unlikely Thru-Hiker is the story of how an unknowing ambassador of one of the AT's least common demographics, unfamiliar with both the outdoors and thru-hiking culture, sets off with an extremely overweight pack and a willfully can-do attitude to conquer the infamous trail. What follows are eye-opening lessons on preparation, humility, race relations, and nature's wild unpredictability. But this isn't a hard-nosed memoir of discouragement or intolerance. What sets Lugo apart from the typical walk in the woods is his refusal to let any challenge squash his inner Pollyanna. Through it all, he perseveres with humor, tenacity, and an unshakeable commitment to grooming--earning him the trail name "Mr. Fabulous"--that sees him from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Katahdin in Maine.
Book Synopsis From Reindeer Lake to Eskimo Point by : Peter Kazaks
Download or read book From Reindeer Lake to Eskimo Point written by Peter Kazaks and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2003-11-05 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canoe across large lakes, up and down rivers and rapids; labour over portages and through a miasma of blackflies; bask in the golden evenings of the Subarctic. In this account of an 800-mile canoe trip – which begins at Reindeer Lake on the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border, continues into Nunavut past the treeline, and ends on Hudson Bay – Peter Kazaks conveys the experience of being in the north by describing the daily details that bring the trip to life. He captures the flavour of an extended wilderness canoe trip and reflects on living in unfettered wilderness. The reader will also grasp something of the serene beauty of the barren lands and begin to understand why its intoxicating nature keeps drawing some back. The first half of the trip, essentially from Reindeer Lake to Nueltin Lake, retraces P.G. Downes' voyage described in his classic Sleeping Island. Next the four men of this expedition, led by George Luste, entered the barren lands and followed the Thlewiaza River, the Kognak River, South Henik Lake and the Maguse River north and east to the shore of Hudson Bay. These lands, seldom visited, are close to a true wilderness – one of the few remaining ones.
