This may sound like a general topic, but it intended as a fairly specific question. My son and I are travelling from Upstate NY to Cape Breton (Cabot trail) later in August. Usually on our longer trips (Ashville NC, Wilmington NC) and even our day trips, we sort of do a little research on sights, get a general route to our destination picked out, MAYBE think of a first night destination and play the rest by ear. Now I knowe there is a topic right there, but my question has to do with where we are going....I'm not real familiar with Canada, let alone the wilds (?) of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. Does the area lend itself to such impromptu touring? If we start looking for a campground or reasonable hotel at 3 in the afternoon, are we likely to find something before dark? I realize "the area" covers many different areas. So any comment on both the adventure part and the getting to the adventure part are welcome.
BTW I'm on a 2016 RT , and he's on a big HD (2014 Electraglide).[EDIT...BIG EDIT! He can't decide whether to take the KLR or the Harley...thoughts??? he says the KLR is all day comfortable, can cruise well, 70 or more, and he can load it as well as the bagger.]
I'm sure I'll have more questions, but the consensus on this one will guide my further inquiries. as to some route choices etc.
TIA
