I love Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail! You staying there at the Silver Dart, as shown in your link? It is fine, and so is the restaurant there.

There is a national park at the north end that is nice, and I always tray to stay up toward the north end of things. Whenever I go to the Cabot Trail, I ALWAYS go to Cheticamp and eat dinner at The Harbor restaurant. Not fancy, but a wonderful place on the edge of a west facing cliff overlooking the water. Beautiful at sunset. And, the food is an outstanding value there. Some of what they sell will have been caught locally the day you eat it. Tough to beat that. :thumb

Looks like a Tuesday evening dinner at The Harbor for sure. :eat :eat
(besides,I get to add it to my new GPS toy. Not that I can't find Cheticamp, but ....)

Thanks for the tip. Maybe a few others will travel to Vermont this way.

IIRC, the Silver Dart has an all-you-can-eat buffet as well. So there's Monday night! :eat

Check out the Alexander Graham Bell museum while you're in that neighborhood, if you have time.

After everything that's happened over the last couple weeks, (namely the untimely passing of Garth) I'm chosing to 'Live' just a little extra this summer.

I dropped a leave request today at work for 136-hours of leave, or roughly 3 1/2 weeks.

I'll be in Vermont, I'll also be in Idaho, Colorado and all kinds of places in between. Then I'm going to Halifax and bustin' a big one to get back to Seattle through Canada.

I hope to see many of you along the way. I can't say that I'll be a good 'partner' along the way, the Mrs's is going along (as of now) and we are going to Zig and Zag our way between each of the rallies. She may ride the train some, or not, she may fly home, or not. We will probably get to 'Ol Miss and turn south along the GRR down to Graceland, TN and then over to Tellico Plains and up the BRP, or we may just point and shoot our way from here to there without a plan.

We'll camp, hotel it, and if need be take some of you up on the Anon book hospitality.

It would be great if any other Westcoaster's want to ride along, some, parts or the whole way.

This tour is not only something that (we) have wanted to do, but something that I want to do now more than ever. It's going to be dedicated 'In Memory of YB in IN' so look for what ever I can find to affix to my bike. Probably a tail rack flag (Ensign) or something on the panniers.

We'll see you all in Vermont and along the way. :buds

We're in

My Son on his F650 (18 yrs old) and I will definately be in Vermont for '06 and a good possibility for Wisconsin in '07. This will be his first National to ride solo and we've got a 9000 mi. route planned from Whidbey Island Wa. This is going to be a great venue! Any other NW riders going?

My Hand is up.

I have plans to make it to the National this year. I have been on the sidelines for a few years but have just joined BMWMOA and am ready to ride. Living in Lincoln, Nebraska, I'm a flatlander. It always seems to take a days travel to get to some quality riding. The ride to Vermont will be one of my lifes greatest adventures. My wife and I went to "Top of the Rookies" in Paonia, CO last year, my first time in the mountains on the RT where I found the true
potential of this machine. What a Blast!

I plan to be there

I'm planning to ride up on the 20th from NJ and camp at the rally site. First rally for me.

Dan - you and Geri were so nice at the RUT - we should do you a favor and have a party at the RV :clap

We're in - I told my new job BEFORE I started that I was already committed to a "Thing" in July - So I'm definitely in!!! Jim too!!


Good luck with the Moto's - if you need any help - Jim is an ACE of a Tech guy!!

Ride Safe!

I'll be leaving KY on Wed, I think that's when. Running up to Rochester NY about 750 miles +/- a few. Trying to make some time. Looks like a solo run for me as my two other riding partners don't have what it take for that....hope I still do. Marathon run there, but taking my time returning as I haven't been up that far North and want to experience a nd see the country side.
Looking forward to it :german
 
Looking forward to it!! Going up and around......Not going through Chicago. The last trip to Grand Rapids, MI was a nightmare. tolls, construction, potholes. You'd think with all that money, there'd be great roads (not!)
