Baddeck, Nova Scotia

This morning we left Moncton, NB headed southeast entering Nova Scotia we stopped at the welcome center to pick up tour books, maps and advice as to what to see. We then continue east southeast on highway 104 through the gently rolling wooded hills seeing occasional hay meadows. Around Truro it became more winding , wooded and forested. Turning due east toward New Glasco on rte. 4 it became flatter and we saw some farm land with many small fields a few planted to crops but mostly hay fields.













Traveling on east it became more forested and we met many trucks hauling logs. After passing Antigonish we began catching glimpses of the
St George Bay to our left. Crossing the Canso Causeway at Port Hastings we turned northeast on rt 105. We had been noticing the change in the trees along the way to more deciduous but as we traveled north they became predominately Spruce.
As we passed around an arm of the Bras d'or Lake at Whycocomagh we could see a beautiful old wooden church across the water. In a few more miles we arrived at the Cabot Trail campground at Baddeck. We traveled around 250 miles today. We will sight see from here for a couple of days.
