Had such a good time on the island. pictures don`t tell just how high these mountains are . Some are over 456 meters high with sheer walls down to small rivers. You all have to see this all for yourself.

Don-

I'd say I missed you but I didn't know you were gone. I'm still planning to call sometime but I've been a little down lately with back pain mostly.

The roads in your pics look like wonderful biking roads and the scenery is great.
 
So Cape Breton Island is part of Nova Scotia but seperated by salt water which the green bridge crosses?

Yep we got a two lane car truck lanes and a Train tracks .It will handle a smaller tanker from years past. I find them interesting . What people got from harder work years ago is so easier and faster now.I Have another picture from our Cabin inside the break water shot across the cause way and the mountain they have been at since 1962 removing rock for sea ports .Seems some local work is happening. I think an LNG port is needed to ship the gas. Super tanker of today can be loaded.

picture after I get the rest loaded
 
Don - great pics - glad you can enjoy the riding.. Too hot during the day here, but I get out for a while at night...
 
Don: I wish I were there with you, motorcyle or not. Looks like beautiful country. I've added it to my "bucket list." However, I'll agree with Gerry that it borders on cruelty to picture 70 degree weather to those suffering 117 degree heat index. I was out replacing a headlight on my truck today at 11:00 AM, as long as I was in the sun, I couldn't keep the sweat off my brow from spilling onto my eyeglasses. I was sweating elsewhere as well. I kept finding excuses to go inside where the air is conditioned (unlike Frank Currier, we find we need it down here!) Oh, the summers on the Maine coast that I remember now (although I would like to forget the mosquitos).

Don, great photos! Looks like that was a great trip. (I did a little clean up on your photo posting.

thanks they look much better with the space in between the pictures. They are building an LNG export dock down the coast from the Causeway and those pictures had problems. Seems my Cannon camera will not open the cover over the lens sometimes.I look at the screen on the back of the camera to see what I will get and my wife just looks through the view finder. So we had a bunch of bad pictures. If you can picture a 380 meter mountain they have been on top of with a rock crusher .After the machine crushes the rock a dozier pushes the rock over the edge where the rock falls onto piles.They are using ships and barges to move the rock down the coast .The new port is to be a real big operation they say.
