We made it

After driving through New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, New Brunswick and most of Nova Scotia, we made it to our destination on Cape Breton Island.

Here is the route we took:

We hit a lot of juicy bugs along the way. Maine was beautiful, but Cape Breton Island is clearly the highlight so far. Climbing Mount Smokey with our car was an awe-inspiring/crap-our-pants-inducing drive. Also, the cabot trail is the toughest road we have ever driven with the corolla. If you look on the map, you will notice the odd side route to destination F. This was our mid-drive hike to Uishga Ban Falls (pronounced ush-ga, meaning white water in gaelic). It was a quick hike with some of the oldest trees on the island. It turns out that 99% of the trees on the island are less than 100 years old and on that trail, most of the maple trees are 200+ years old. The trees felt old and maybe we captured some of it in our pics (to come soon). The drive out to the trail was making us laugh. It seemed to us that we were driving no where. We crossed a one-lane wooden bridge with holes in it, crossed many unlabeled roads and drove for 8km on a hilly dirt road. The km threw us off, we kept thinking of miles. Anyway...


Ingonish is beautiful and our cabin is sweet (especially the fireplace and adirondack chairs). We took a dip in the hot tub last night, but it was 108 degrees.
