2 Newfoundland National Parks! - Travelling in an RV Across Canada
Today we finish visiting Gros Morne National Park, before heading off to Terra Nova National park, in Newfoundland Canada. Busy day in the life while travelling in an RV but who can complain out here!
G'day folks! Today we wrap up in Gros Morne by walking the Tablelands, which is the Earth's mantle exposed through the Earth's crust. The hike/walk was an easy one and we'll worth seeing in the Gros Morne National Park area, only a short drive from our previous RV vlog hiking spot and yet so different. The mantle is only exposed in a few locations in the earth I believe making this a unique Newfoundland rarity. Super cool.
Getting to the park we had to leave our beautiful free campsite / Boondocking site for the night outside of that cemetery in Trout River. That town was ridiculously stunning to gaze upon from our RV dinette, truly an amazing area and yet so unpopulated. It was also very Newfoundlandish with heavy accented folk and plenty of quadding to be had. It's the real deal in that town and right near the Tablelands area for a visit.
After finishing up at Gros Morne it was time to get the RV back on the road and continue the journey East. We spent a couple of nights at Walmarts along the interior of the province, to arrive at our next, and farthest East national park in Canada, Terra Nova!
We learned that Terra Nova national park is made up of bog lands down in the valley with a unique dense miss specific to bogs. We spent a night camping there to enjoy a night of RV hook ups and be at a campground again for once too and it was lovely. The next morning after checking out we also found that awesome viewpoint.
Anyways, thanks for checking out today's adventure of travelling in an RV. Next RV vlog will he out Wednesday so have a great weekend!

Gila Monster | American Alligator | Grassland Whiptail Lizard | Toronto Zoo | Canada's Premium Zoo
Hi
Om Namah Shivay !!
The Toronto Zoo is a zoo located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Encompassing 287 hectares (710 acres),the Toronto Zoo is the largest zoo in Canada. It is divided into seven zoogeographic regions: Indo-Malaya, Africa, Americas, Tundra Trek, Australasia, Eurasia, and the Canadian Domain. Some animals are displayed indoors in pavilions and outdoors in what would be their naturalistic environments, with viewing at many levels. It also has areas such as the Kids Zoo, Waterside Theatre, and Splash Island. It has one of the most taxonomically diverse collection of animals on display of any zoo; it is currently home to over 5,000 animals (including invertebrates and fish) representing over 500 species. The zoo is open to the public every day of the year except December 25.
The zoo is owned by the City of Toronto. Founded by Hugh A. Crothers, an industrialist who became the first Chairman of the Metro Toronto Zoological Society in 1966, the zoo opened on August 15, 1974, as the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo. The word Metropolitan was dropped from its name when the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto was amalgamated into the current city in 1998. The zoo is located near the Rouge River on the western border of Rouge Park in the city's east end district of Scarborough.
Around 1880, businessman Harry L. Piper (1839–1921) established a Zoological and Acclimatization Society (also as Toronto Zoological Garden) and open a zoological gardens at Old Post Office Lane at Toronto Street north of King Street East, then in 1881 to a lot at Front Street and York Street next to the Queen's Hotel and finally to the eastern end of the Exhibition Grounds in 1885. Piper was also Alderman for St. John's Ward from 1877 to 1880 and 1883–1888
In 1888, the Riverdale Zoo opened in Toronto, as a typical example of a zoo during this time, with animals displayed as curiosities in dark cages and cramped enclosures. Animals for Piper's zoo moved to this site.
In 1963, a private citizen's brief to build a new zoo was introduced by Hugh Crothers to the Chairman of the Council of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, William Allen. Allen asked Crothers to head up a committee to investigate the feasibility of a new zoo. By 1966, a group of eleven people became The Metro Toronto Zoological Society with Crothers as the first Chairman.
Original plans were to have the park located at the Leaside area, but the site was later used to create the E.T. Seton Park. In 1966, Mr. Crothers and the 10 other citizens met at City Hall to form the Metropolitan Toronto Zoological Society. In 1967, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto approved the Rouge Park site in Scarborough for a new zoo. The following year, a feasibility study on the new zoo was produced by architect Raymond Moriyama. In 1969, a master plan was created by Johnson Sustronk Weinstein and Associates[9] that was approved by the Zoological Society. Construction of the new zoo began in 1970. On August 15, 1974, the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo was open to the public. The zoo increased from the original Riverdale Zoo's 3 hectares (7.4 acres) to 287 hectares (710 acres), and is now one of the largest zoos in the world. The Zoo introduced some designs to enhance the public's viewing experience and the animals' living comfort. Animals were displayed in naturalized environments and grouped according to their zoogeographic region. The old zoo was converted into an urban farm called Riverdale Farm, which opened in 1978.
In 1976, the Zoo opened the Canadian Domain Ride, a monorail that traveled into the Zoo's Canadian Domain area, located in the Rouge Valley. The rides operations were placed on hold in July 1994 after an accident. The monorail has since been mothballed with many sections becoming overgrown with vegetation. A 2009 study determined it would cost upwards of $800,000 to return the infrastructure to use and upgrade it to current standards. A fundraising drive was started in 2010 and has since raised $1.15 million. Plans are to have the monorail functional and running by 2018[citation needed]. In the interim, the current Zoomobile uses five (4-car set) Chance Coach Sunliner trams.[10]
Between 1980 and 1984, several new exhibits were added to the zoo, including gaur, a children's zoo (Littlefootland) that does not exist anymore, and a new indoor habitat for African elephants, snow leopards and the Indian Rhinoceros Pavilion, as well as, the official opening of the Zoomobile.
In 1985, Qing Qing and Quan Quan a pair of giant pandas, on loan for three months from the People's Republic of China, were displayed at the Zoo. The Zoo broke all previous attendance records as thousands of visitors came to see these rare animals. Over the years, the Zoo has presented other rare or unusual animals, including golden monkeys (1986), koalas (1988, 1996 and again in 2002), Tasmanian devils (the late 1970s until 1998), and white lions (1995, and again in 2012).

A 2009 study determined it would cost upwards of $800,000 to return the infrastructure to use and upgrade it to current standards. A fundraising drive was started in 2010 and has since raised $1.15 million. Plans are to have the monorail functional and running by 2018[citation needed]. In the interim, the current Zoomobile uses five (4-car set) Chance Coach Sunliner trams.[10]
Between 1980 and 1984, several new exhibits were added to the zoo, including gaur, a children's zoo (Littlefootland) that does not exist anymore, and a new indoor habitat for African elephants, snow leopards and the Indian Rhinoceros Pavilion, as well as, the official opening of the Zoomobile.
In 1985, Qing Qing and Quan Quan a pair of giant pandas, on loan for three months from the People's Republic of China, were displayed at the Zoo. The Zoo broke all previous attendance records as thousands of visitors came to see these rare animals. Over the years, the Zoo has presented other rare or unusual animals, including golden monkeys (1986), koalas (1988, 1996 and again in 2002), Tasmanian devils (the late 1970s until 1998), and white lions (1995, and again in 2012).
