Can only imagine what a great experience this must have been.  You're quite lucky.

It's CAPE Spear (as it says on the sign in the photo that accompanies the article), not point... 

I worked there for 5 summers as a student -- best job ever.

Jeez, Jeff, lazy much?  Your brother drove coast to coast I'm a fricken RV and chronicled it via video!  All we get is an article and some snapshots?  Where's the mishaps??

Bring back Departures and Descending!!!  ;D

And your poor hat :(

Serious question though: would aircap not get ridiculously bug-filled?  I drove from Waterloo to Ottawa last night and went through the entire reservoir of washer fluid on the drive - the front end is still covered!

Oh!  The bugs!  That screen would collect them like crazy.  Then, when we'd come to a start, they'd rain down on the windshield.  Both funny and gross.

Having captions for the photos would have been a nice addition.

So they would be caught, but wouldn't adhere?  That's a bonus of sorts...
