We are using a large, old-fashioned fold-out map to make our way from place to place here in Newfoundland (I’m anti-GPS). Long hours in the car means plenty of time to study the map. One fun thing up here is noticing the unique and quirky place names.
Here are some of the more interesting ones we’ve spotted:
Famish Gut
Come by Chance
Hole in the Wall
Nonsuch Harbour
Stepaside
Jerry’s Nose (we drove through that one)
Cut Throat Island
American Tickle
Chimney Tickle
Haha Bay
Leading Tickle
Welcome Come By
Naked Man
God Almighty Cove
Blow Me Down
Joe Batts Arm
