Then I tip my hat to you. Very impressive. What vehicle(s) did you use to challenge the TLH, if I may ask?
I've read several trip advisor reports and and other picture blogs from those who have braved the TLH, and it sounds like it's do-able, but I'm not sure if I'm adventurous enough to try it in our rig/towed setup, at this time. If I had a 4X4 truck with enough room in it to sleep 2 plus a cat, with dual tanks, and the physical strength to change a flat tire or two, I might try that scenario. Any route that suggests you borrow a satellite phone for emergency contact in case of problems, is probably not going to be an easy go. And there's no guarantee anyone will be able to help you in the event of a major mechanical, or other problem out there, so the RCMP and NL government websites suggest.
Even QC389 from Baie Comeau to Labrador City sounds challenging, again based on internet chatter.
I contacted GOV.NL.CA in 2016 and asked several questions regarding the progress on paving the remaining sections of 500/510 through Labrador. The answers were vague and disappointing.
I may have to revisit the project sometime soon, but the new road to Tuk has bumped it to 3rd place in our long range road trip list. A return to Alaska is in the mix, as well.
