July 6th 1987 journal. 209. Eastern Trip - Newfoundland July 23 Calm, and mostly sunny. I then continued (cont'd) up the T.C.H., and turned E on the new highway 480 to Burgeo. White pine was uncommon along the river paralleling the road (the Southwest Brook), as the spruces and firs had few or no cones. The area was mostly deciduous birches and alders. I turned back and drove into Stephenville that evening, and got gas, then drove about 15 mi. S and turned off W of the T.C.H. about 2 mi. along a dirt road and camped at a small pond in the middle of dense scrub forest. July 24 The morning broke foggy but mostly clear. I heard no crossbills at the small pond that morning, so headed out to explore the Codroy Valley. Drove S on the T.C.H., then drove the roads around Great Codroy, O'Begans, St. Andrews, Upper Fern, and Boyles, Nfld. The area was mixed woodlot and cleared settlement, with open fields mainly for hay. None of the trees were very large, as none had cones. Saw no white pine here, mainly tamarack and black spruce with uncommon white spruce.
