So sometime this evening we are hitting the road. First stop is Stanhope campground at PEI national park. Terry really wanted to go hang on the beaches there last year but it was so fully booked, because the first Monday in August is New Brunswick provincial holiday and it's also a day off in Nova Scotia.
Wednesday night when trying to decide what our first stop would be before getting to Corney Brook in Cape Breton, we looked at Amherst Shores, it was fully booked, we looked at a few other places and it seemed hopeless. Then he suggests PEI national park. I figured it would be fully booked, but the Stanhope campground had ONE SPOT that was free for Saturday and Sunday night. So we booked it.
This is all sorts of awesome because with the entrance to Federal parks free... we'll really be able to enjoy both the Cavendish area, the Stanhope area, and the third area of the federal park in PEI. I went to Cavendish beach with my parents as a teen and with husband #1 in the 1980's. Haven't been since, though not looking forward to spending that much time on the beach. Will have to get myself the mother of all fucking hats to wear on my head. not supposed to get sun on my scar... could make it look bad. Other than the fact I really don't want to have more skin cancer.
After Corney Brook, we're thinking Broadcove, then Mira River. This year were definitely going to do the bird island boat tour, and it will be the 5:15 photographer's one next Friday. Will be reserving that very shortly. Also will be doing a lot of the trails in Cape Breton highlands National park. I've done many trails on the Cheticamp side, this year I hope to go on trails on the Ingonish side.
Once we leave Cape Breton, we'll be going to the Halifax area. We plan on staying at Graves Island Provincial park, which is 45 minutes from Hatchet lake, and also we want to visit the Thomas Raddall Provincial park. Would also like to visit the Kejimkujik Federal park, but don't know if it's going to happen. The seaside Kejimkujik is right across the bay from Raddall Provincial park.
