Have great ride with fine maritime cuisine and of course good entertainment at the Louisburg Playhouse.
As you know Paul, first Rita's then onward to Louisbourg to camp, eat at the Lobster Kettle and then to live musical theater at the Playhouse. Great fun!

Salty Fog is now history. Many thanks to Bob and Mary for putting it on and the twenty or thirty folks that took the time to make the trek and share their company with others willing to go to the 'End of the Earth'.
Bob was kind enough to share, with the participants of the last ride, the road signs we followed through the wilds of Nova Scotia to reach our goal, and mine will have an honored spot on my garage wall.
Many are in the should of/ could of and would have group but the train has left the station. To them I can only refer to the words of the great Bard:
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day

Your welcome Paul! Unique indeed. We believe that we prepare a 'one off' sort of rally. Lots of good times and experiences in a small, economical package. Met many interesting people from diverse locations. It does take a great deal of work and effort to make it work but the outcomes have always been worth it. Hopefully many others have used our information to ride here and/or returned with family to enjoy even more of Nova Scotia. All in all: it's been a great ride with many good experiences (and subsequent stories) involving some very interesting and enjoyable participants.
So, stay tuned to the forthcoming Ride Report! - Bob and Mary

I reckon I'd been there had I not been waylaid with other shenanigans. I turned it over in my mind and just couldn't see no way to make it up yonder. I figure y'all had a right good time! I might mosey up that way next year and see if ol' Bob can set me up fer the night.

The final attendee to return home from Salty Fog
I just arrived home in the west from the Salty Fog - what an experience! Bob and Mary - just superb hosts in every way! Really nice to meet others with similar interests and like minds and share such a meaningful and enjoyable time together on the road and off. Tale of the tape for me 11, 942 Km on the road for this rally and worth every one. Already rumours of a get together of Salty Fog Alumni at next years national are out there; oops did I write that down?

An epic ride, Ken. Well done.
Yes, had to replace the rear tire due to a nail in New Brunswick which was rectified by the Atlantic Motoplex BMW shop in Dieppe (near Moncton) with a four hour warning from the road. Props to the guys who got me slotted in on a very busy afternoon for them. The front tire is still looking and feeling not too bad with just over 16K Km - assume the rear would have lasted as well. Just love those PR4s - especially in the rain which I got to test out thoroughly on the way home.

I could be coerced to tour Newfoundland
Then you always have a stop-over here both coming and going. Anytime.
