Nova Scotia Trip

[ibents]

Just got back from a 2 week trip to Nova Scotia, we traveled through some beautiful scenary in NY, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine...though some of Maine's roads were in bad shape....We passed Mt Washington where some of the locals told us that it had the highest wind gusts anywhere. On the way across we stayed in Syracuse, St Johnsburg and St Johns NB then on to Baddeck in Cape Breton. We did the Cabot Trail which was gorgeous then down to Sackville just out of Halifax to our campsite.

 

We saw the tall ships in Halifax and boarded quite a few, went down to Peggy's Cove and saw the Swiss Air monument, then Lunenburg...which was the sunniest day we had, when we got back to the camp ground we had a lobster feast set up and went through 24 lbs between 8 of us and only cost $50 a couple. On the way back we went through Lake Placid, then crossed Lake Champlain on the ferry from Burlington.

 

In all we did 6000 km, had a great time in spite of the lousey weather and no problem with the bike at all, unlike the Hondas that went, one of the Valkyries had his alternator crap out...$1100 to get another...the other had his rear brakes go and a Gold wing had to have the rear tire replaced.

 

Sorry we couldn't make the Rally, just to much going on at the moment. Hope everyone has fun.

Yes Craig, Peggy's cove is quite the place, really nice houses and lighthouse and it seemed fitting that it was overcast when we were at the memorial, considering what happened a few miles off shore.
