The Trail

If you are a touring motorcyclist you have probably heard about the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia.  It is one of those bucket list rides, kind of like the Pacific Coast Highway, or riding Route 66.  So that is what I did today.  I'm not sure if it would have been on my bucket list, but it is a very good ride. There is a lot of coast and a lot of ocean, and you ride thru the coastal mountains also.  You can check out the pictures and see what you think. After the trail, which is a 180 mile loop, I headed back the way I came and then jumped on another scenic route.  Tomorrow I'll leave NS, and then decide where to go from there.

Present location:  Parrsboro, NS
Today's mileage:  408
Total:  2468

Today's photos:  All from the Cabot Trail, except for the boat.  I took that earlier just because I liked the way it looked.

Some more Canadian observations:  Road kill is different here.  I have yet to see a dead racoon or possum, but I can't tell you how many dead porcupines I've seen along the road.
No moose sightings, but I did see a bear and two cubs on the road ahead of me today.  They were gone way before I got there, so no photos
They don't use pennies in Canada.  The totals still come up as if they are needed, but they just split the difference with you.  Sometimes you pay one or two cents more than the total, sometimes you pay one or two cents less, depending on if the total ends in a 3 or 4, or if it ends in 1 or 2.  Or 6/7 or 8/9.  You figure it out.
