10/07: Another Travel Day, But Not Far
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
We moved from one location to another and it didn't rain. Now the move wasn't far, just from Cheticamp on one side of the Cabot Trail to Englishtown on the other side (115 km).
The early morning sun made the boats in the harbour look so pretty so I couldn't resist one more photo taken from the deck of the Airbnb.
As we drove south along the Cabot Trail we took a few more shots of the coast.
On the drive to Baddeck we followed a river for a while.
About 15 km north of Baddeck is the Uisage Ban Provincial Park and Waterfall. The hike into the falls followed Falls Brook. A local resident said that falls had a lot more water than usual. The waterfall has a bend in it so you can either see the top section of the falls or the lower section.
The top of the falls.
The bottom of the falls.
Just a water shot.
Some rapids in Falls Brook.
A family with 3 young boys was walking out about the same time we did. The youngest one was in a carrier on dad's back but the other two were either related to billy goats or spider man. They were racing around the rocks and climbing everything. They appeared on the rock when I was trying to take a photo of the tree, so they posed for me.
I love how resourceful trees are, they'll grow anywhere.
These trees look like they belong in the enchanted forest, any second they could get up and start walking.
Englishtown has a ferry that takes you across a short bit of water (about a 3 minute ferry ride) so you can join up to the Cabot Trail. As the ferry is a 2 minute walk from the cottage we've rented we decided to take a ride then walk on the beach.
Not sure if the building is a boat house or a barn. We presume the person living there is a lobster fisherman as there were traps and a boat.
Two fairly major events happened on Friday, Rogers had a major outage and a fuel tank containing 600,000 litres of gas was punctured in Sidney, Cape Bretton NS. The Rogers outage minorly affected us as were not using the phones, computers or bankcards much (credit cards still worked where we were). The fuel issue may cause us a problems. Luckily, we filled the truck when we got back to Cheticamp last night. About a half hour after we filled up the gas station put up "out of fuel" signs. This situation in Cape Bretton has become common place. Hopefully, fuel will be shipped to the gas stations soon.
