So to start out Moosehead and I did an Iron Butt to CFR Nova Scotia. We left our homes and met in Oshawa Ontario and proceeded to Port Hastings. My kms were 1884 and Mike did just over 2000.
We left Oshawa at midnight and rode through the night. Go lost in Montreal, figure out our mistake and carried on. We did quick gas stops and only had snacks along the way. Going through New Bruswick was kind of a blur. If we were in Ontario and were pulled over we'd still be walking. (quick pace was the norm here) When we got into Nova Scotia we felt we were almost there. Funny thing was though that the faster we went the longer the road seemed to get. So we made it all the way without being stop by a LEO. So as we were making a beer run in Port Hawksburry we got a finger waving for doing a little over the 70km speed limit. ( yes sir ).
ENROUTE
So here's a few pics.
just setting the pace.
The sky closed in on us in Quebec.
A friggin bug splatted on my lens and stuck it shut.!!

DAY 1
Early morning at Port Hasting
Our riding party for the day... Tom n Pam,Chris,Mike, and myself.
Catching a cable ferry at Little Narrows.
on the Ferry. It was cheaper to buy a book of 40 tickets than to buy 4 individual ticket for the 2 ferry rides we did
AHHH self explanitory to any Canadian!
Some shoreline shots along hwy
Looking over to Meat Cove... the Northernmost community in NS
At the tip of Meat Cove... no we didn't hear any Banjo music
Looking out at Pleasant Bay.
Cool shot of the clouds reflecting on the water at Pleasant Bay
The sun dropping into the water at St Georges bay
DAY 2
A little fishing village
our group for day 2 was Tom n Pam, Chris, Mike, Greg n Sue, and myself.
The Tidal Dam at Bras d'Or Lake
Riding in formation
Parking in formation.
All lined up at the parking lot.
We raised $500 for the local food bank by having an auction for some of the really cool donated items. Here Mike H hands over the loot!
A big thanks to Jude (gypsy) and Scott (CanadianFJR) for planning and setting up our event.
On the way to Halifax hurricane Hannah drove me under the bridge. So I used my time to text my friends and family.
I'll end this one here... more later
