September 23-24, 2025 We spend our last day in Ingonish with a slow, easy morning: washing clothes and cleaning house. We stepped out about 10:00 and walked down to the beach on N. Ingonish Bay where I’d watched the sunset that first night with Mary & Star. It’s quiet and still, and we walk down… Continue reading Ingonish to Mahone Bay

White Point & Cabot Landing
22 September 2025 Mary & Star left early in the morning. We decide to head to White Point & Cabot Landing, two destinations that I’d added to our itinerary when it looked as though all trails in the National Park would be closed due to fire risk. The drive is lovely. Although it is not… Continue reading White Point & Cabot Landing

There… Continue reading Skyline Trail & Oysters

I find it is notably sparse in population with a boreal forest is full of spruce & birches (two of my favorites). The roads get windier and windier the farther north one… Continue reading The North Peninsula
Getting There Is Half the Fun
The drive from Halifax Airport to Cape Breton takes about 5.5 hours, and goes from the relatively flat landscape around Halifax to the dramatic cliffs of the island’s coastline. I’m struck with the lack of development and wide-open wild spaces. There are very few cars on the road and it’s generally an easy drive. We… Continue reading Getting There Is Half the Fun
