Passengers rushing into town.
I took a tour while Carol wandered the town. Here at a high overlook is the site whee Captain Cook began his career as not just a ship's Master but a renowed explorer and mapper. His maps are still accurate!
Plaque proclaiming that the area was first mapped by Captain James Cook. For us the second time this year he played a role in our own explorations. Here and the South Pacific for which he is better known.
Not a lot of professional guides here in these Maritime communities. This is the Mayor leading our tour. We got lots of insight into the workings of the town.
And this is the town! The industrial part to the left, by the bay, and the businesses next to that, and then residential. On the far right, the golf course and the ski slopes!
Ski slopes bring in winter income as well as being recreational for the towns people.
Maximizing recreational opportunities there was a zip line from near the slopes over a small pond.
The totem pole was carved by different artists and so is in different styles. It tells the history of Newfoundland, particularly Corner Brook.
Sooo, this is the Old Man of the Mountain. I don't think I really could see it very well! But it is in this picture!
