Sep 2, 2024 - It is an hour and a half drive from Cheticamp to Broad Cove where we will be staying at the NP campground. The drive was cloudy and a bit rainy but it was fun to get to see the Cabot Trail on a gray day. We stopped at quite a few pull outs for different views of the coastline and stopped just a few miles from our campground at Black Brook Cove Beach for a picnic lunch.

I love seeing the road ahead winding through the trees
the sky is melting into the ocean
more winding road
and beautiful coastline
Our first moose of the trip. There were Park rangers next to the moose telling us to keep moving. We weren't sure if the moose was sick or they just didn't want gawkers
good looking bench model
coastline & colors

Fresh seafood
The Cabot Trail goes in and out of the Cape Breton Highlands NP. We can always tell when we're not in the NP, because the roads are pretty rough.

Great spot for a picnic
lots of beach rocks on this side of Cape Breton

Sep 3, 2024 - Today is Uncle Gene's birthday! We headed into the town of Ingonish to find some seafood for lunch and found the gondola at Cape Smokey and decided to ride it to the top for a pretty view.
We really enjoyed lunch at Main St. The halibut was good and the desserts were especially good.
Gondola to the top
That's a view!

Getting the wood ready for a campfire. They had to bring out the big guns...the chain saw and the Jean Val Jean sledge hammer.
Our Happy Bday UG sign had to be moved inside when it started to rain. Mirabelle is watching for any passing dogs.
Site 67. These fire pits are weird, but nice in that they rotate to any way you want to point them.
Happy Birthday Uncle Gene! We made a caramel brownie in the crock pot, just enough for four.
