A new batch of pics just arrived so some previous posts will be added to now as well as our journey forward from Louisbourg. Next: The Cabot Trail :dance :lurk - Bob
[B][SIZE="3"]This is the route from Louisbourg to the KOA at the foot of Kelly's Mountain. Tonight we can have a campfire! Riders arrive on their own schedule. Most have chosen to tour Fortress Louisbourg but this camp is only 50 miles away and thus noone needs to be in a hurry.[/SIZE][/B]
