The Cabot Trail has a reputation of having
foggy conditions during the spring and summer months; probably has something to
do with how the air flows up and around the highlands of Cape Breton. We weren’t surprised to run into a few patches
of fog here and there.
We crossed paths with a few riders at a
scenic photo stop having lunch. One of
them happens to be ADV inmate Archimedes and his wife Deya who are 3 months
into a 2 year trip to South America.
Their ride report can be found here http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=628000
I figure Nova Scotia got its name by how
the coast and highlands resemble those of Scotland’s; hence the name New
Scotland.
We stopped at the local grocery store in
Neil’s Harbour to pick up lunch…
…and had a picnic overlooking the
spectacular view.
Looks like the fog has lifted…
…spoke too soon.
It’s hard to keep your eyes on the road
when you’re surrounded by such beauty.
The occasional section of twisties kept our eyes from wandering too much.
We met up with Archimedes and Deya again
and camped together near Cheticamp
We managed to find a patch of grass right
next to the ocean
It’s neat to see other traveler’s way of
setting up camp
One minute it’s sunny…
…the next minute it’s overcast.
The four of us made our way down the cliff
and built a campfire on the beach and shared desserts and travel stories; a
perfect conclusion to a wonderful evening.

Warmth
from a campfire.
Thundering
sound of ocean.
Twinkle
from the stars.
