Cape Breton Cabot trail

 We left Spry bay in the rain and arrived at Cheticamp Campground, part of Cape Breton National park on the Cabot Trail. 

On the way (per Spencer's request) we stopped at Mother Webbs Steakhouse for lunch....for local diner food!


Rain rain rain...no pictures lol.  we stopped just before the bridge on to cape Breton at a lobster pound and bought a 3lb lobster and some scallops right from the lobsterman. Cooked the scallops for dinner so yummy


It was so windy our first night I thought our camper was going to blow over... 

The next day turned glorious so we started to explore the Cabot Trail!


The coolest windy road with glorious views!

We hiked the skyline trail, a classic hike with amazing views!!


Happy Anniversary to us!! A perfect day all around.


Oysters for lunch !!!
Classic lobster boats everywhere. I cant wait to paint some after my return.

And then we bought lobster right from the boat!!

I made us lobster stew for our anniversary dinner!!

JUst crazy how these BIG boats sit stranded every tide They put the cage thing under the boats so they don't tip. It's lowered by a line and pulled into place each time they dock....so explained the kind fisherman below Getting the herring ready for the next tide  lunch at the caves St Martins Sea Caves- hard to see but these are huge caves you can walk in at low tide...unfortunately we missed that part but still interesting. On to next campsite. We camped at a campground right next to Hopewell Rocks.

We arrived in Lubec Maine to meet up with dear friends and to stand in the Easternmost spot in the lower 48. It's kind of fun because we stood at the westernmost spot during our fall trip to Washington state. Our campsite in Lubec. What a sweet spot. Enjoying an evening with Chris and John. This is West Quoddy Head Lighthouse. The town of Lubec is the epitome of  Maine   And oh did I say lobster again.... had a great meal and visit with our friends Chris and John.
