Salty Fog Rally + Highland Fling

[tourunigo]

A few more pictures of the Salty Fog gathering. In spite of Fog and assorted weather patterns thrust upon us, a great time was had by all. Although working with some old technology here (which Paul is helping to nudge us from), the following are a few of our contributions. Next year..... -Bob and Mary

Ron, Paul, Bob and Steve preparing for the decent into Meat Cove, Cape Breton Island.

Ron somehow finds wood for the evening. A real flame-meister, he built a wonderful glow which we cherished for all of about 30 minutes. At that point the gods thrust rain, thunder and lightening upon us. The only other sound was, from a neighboring tent, Paul's periodic utterances of "ooooo" "ahhhh" as the light show played on.

But were are the chopsticks for Paul?

Any time. Fall is a good time to travel you know. Glad you could make even for a short while. Next year hopefully longer. -Bob

And next year a bigger and rally featuring an opportunity no other rally can offer:



Kayaking with the whales. How's that for a challenge?

Nice pics, everyone.

My small group ride may be taking us to PEI and Cape Breton next year, mid-July.

Same here. 60/40 chance I will be on something new next year too!

When the fog finally cleared in Larry's River, this view from the livingroom was a welcome sight.




A stop for gas at the causeway to Cape Breton.


Looking for a tent site as close to the edge as possible.



As winding dirt road to Meat Cove snaked along the cliff, we finally come in view of our campground.




Mary. with the eastside of the Cabot Trail as a backdrop. Just after this photo we encountered a young moose around the next corner. It dashed into the woods before any of us could get a camera ready.



A bit of posing outside the Glenora Distillery. Steve, Paul, Ron and Mary bask in with the glow of a post tour wee dram.




That likely ends the collective account of this year's Salty Fog (rolling) Rally. Now for next year's plans. ( Thanks Paul for the lesson in easy uploading of photos.... hope it works) -Bob
