I agree - we rode the ferry last summer also and it was beautiful. I hope the rain quits for you so you can enjoy the scenery again.

Murphy; enjoy reading your travelogue. Traveled the same route in a converted VW camper many years ago. Sorry we did not get a chance to meet you at spyderfest. If your trip brings you anywhere near us in central Minnesota Carolyn and I can offer you a home cooked meal, soft bed, hot shower and the ever important laundry facilities. Ride safe and enjoy the scenery.

Karyl, It makes all of us a little jealous that you're having such a great time, but very proud the way you represent us. Looks like you'll only have a couple weeks after you get home before you have to jump back on your bike & head to Durango. See you there. Dick
We planning a trip to Nova Scotia in first part of September. Everyone that has been to Nova Scotia said the same thing about the people. How about pictures and more information about where you stay, good places to eat. and other advice.

I was touring Nova Scotia (New Scotland) on my BMW K1200GT 4 years ago. With its high center of mass and my bad knees I dropped it no less than 3 times. Fortunately I was riding with friends and they helped me pick it up. I also noticed a large number of funny looking 3-wheeled contrivances and went over to talk to the riders and found out that they were called Can Am Spyders. Right then and there I decided that when I got back to Ohio I would look into owning one of these things. The rest is history.
A funny thing happened on my way to the US (from Nova Scotia). I was crossing the border into Maine when the border agent noticed that I had a towel tied to the back of my Beemer. She said "That's a Sham Wow", and I said yes it is. Another agent came over and said "Those are made in Germany". And then a 3rd agent came over and said "You know the Germans, they make good stuff". I noticed that all three agents had smiles on their faces (border agents NEVER smile) as they sent me on my way.
This story will make more sense if you remember the TV ad for Sham Wow.
