I was surprised to see a firing range. Aren't guns illegal in Canada? Cross marking the site of the air disaster commemorated by the Silent Witness Memorial. Wreaths and flags adorn the Silent Witness Memorial. Bronze statue of a peacekeeping soldier with children. Lake Gander from the Silent Witness Memorial.

The symbol of the 101st Airborne division. A first look at Lake Gander from Highway 1. Lake Gander is a saltwater lake. Freshwater lakes are called a "pond" in Newfoundland. Hometown of the first Premier of Newfoundland. View from Joey's Lookout. Joey was the first premier of Newfoundland. View across the bay from one of the bridge pilings.

A footbridge crosses the bay. This suspension bridge was disappointingly closed. I could have gone around the sign, but opted not to chance it. There is a lot more visible sea life in Newfoundland waters than Puget Sound. This view across the bay would have been nicer without the power lines. An interpretive sign detailed some of the area's features.
