Cabot Trail

Cabot Trail

            What a beautiful day here today.  Was it ever cold during the night.  I am so glad we have a furnace because we had it cranked.  However, it warmed up to 80 degrees here today.  We decided to cover the northern portion of the Cabot Trail.  They recommend 3-4 hours to see it properly.  It took us most of that.  There is not much you can really say about the Cabot Trail other than it is completely breathtaking.  The roads are steep with fantastic views and many places to stop for scenic outlooks.  The kids weren’t really interested.  Oh well.  Mary Pat and I were.  Here are a couple of pictures and video I put together of the drive.

            We were in desperate need of a Laundromat so we stopped on the other side of the mountains at a town called Cheticamp to do laundry.  The kids and I went to the ocean while MP did the laundry (trust me, she didn’t mind the alone time).  We saw some really cool jellyfish and a bunch of dead crabs.   Hopefully one day we’ll see a live one. 

            On the way home we saw a moose and a baby moose standing beside the road.  I got out and took some video and pictures.  The video is a little long but I didn’t really feel like doing too much editing. 

            They are calling for bad weather here the next two days.  We are talking about going to see the Fortress of Louisburg.
