[QUOTE="FJRGuy, post: 1063993, member: 14218"] Guess I been AOL for a while here... missed this whole discussion. :rofl: You 'mericans crack me up! While Alcatraz is reffered to as the rock, it's a grain of sand compared to our "Rock". :D A Pillion ago (those at NAFO in 2008 or CFR2009 may remember Bridget) I was planning on extending my CFR2011 experience to include a trip to NL as it is her home province. Unfortunately she didn't last long enough and CFR2011 was the first rally experience for the current pillion, Rosanne (Duracell,) so we didn't make it to NL. :( NL is definitely on my must do list and having CFR2014 there is a great excuse to get there. "The Rock", if we ignore Labrador, is barely 15% the size of Texas (not sure why it was compared to Texas), less than 12% the size of BC, and about 7% the size of our largest province, Quebec. Even including Labrador, NL is still smaller than all the Canadian provinces and territories except the 3 maritime provinces. To suggest it is too big an area to hold a CFR seems a little bit funny. Now if we look at the amount of paved highway, an argument may be able to be made that the number for NL might be too small to make it a viable candidate for a localized rally. Some seem to disagree, but either way, theres always the option of a "Rolling Rally". The logistics are not insurmountable. Regardless of where or how CFR2014 happens, it'll be a great starting/mid/end point for an extended NL experience. Either on one's own or with a small group. Just my $0.02 :) [/QUOTE]
