Next year, I would like to attend the Celtic Colours International Festival held on Cape Breton Island. If the talent that we saw at the Louisburg stage is an indication, the Festival should be a real treat.

Lots of other info if you search 'celtic colours' - Bob
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
- Bob
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.
We cross the bridge to the KOA.
Riders begin to arrive....

Now for some breakfast at the Clucking Hen Cafe As the rain delayed departure we chatted a bit more while watching the sky for relief. However, the rain gods had other plans and we ended up riding on regardless.... great food though!
A review done by the Globe and Mail is here.... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/...rticle1600554/
Maybe the sun will appear as we ride deeper into the highlands ....

A bit damp physically but still grinin'....
A couple of local scenes: fishing boats and older wood lobster traps
Oh the madness!
Bob... Mary; please!!! I get hungry each time you post a "Salty" update!
Did we simply eat our way across the islands?

Absolutely a great rally with fantastic folks... starting with you two!

Well here's a little memory for your 'brunch' today....
Now, as we move forward for the Edge of the Earth Gathering in Meat Cove, the rain shows signs of mercy and we all get a little bit of mud on the tires ...
After refueling in Neil's Harbour, before we go 'off trail' for Meat Cove, a stop at the local CoOp store for supplies...
As the edge of the earth approaches...
Forget the pie.. I am still wanting the recipe for the soup that was always in abundance.
Can someone send me some Mackerel too??
"phone'in home" to tell'em about the BIG slice-a-pie he didn't order at Rita's! See him look'in at it about 10 pics back... "the pie is large along the shore of lake Big Bras d Or" ... just sayin!
.. he gets style points at "tea sipp'in" though!
