Sunrise Trail

Near the end of day, I commented to Marnie that this trail is missed named. Not only didn't we see the sun rise, we didn't see the sun, in fact it never got bright enough to even dig out the sunglasses to conquer the glare.

Oh, well.

Today we visited the lights on the north shore. You can see them starting at http://www.lighthousesrus.org/Canada/NovaScotia.htm#NS76. You'll note I'm now attaching "new" flags to the lights that are new. Big "new"s are today, small ones are yesterday. We visited them in the opposite order of the web page.

Coldspring head went pretty well (we just got lost on the trails.) Pugwash was a no-show, couldn't find the light. When we got to Pictou Harbor, the instructions got serious. Cross the creek, follow the bank walk the beach. This is the creek I had cross (yes, Marnie stayed in the car with her book). I did get to the light, did get back, but it took about 20 minutes, and no, I didn't get excessively muddy, or wet. You can see on the web site that I got both the front range and the rear range photos.

We got a nice lunch downtown, then headed for the next light. Because of construction, it was a convoluted route, and when we got there, it turned out that rumors were correct, there's not much of interest at Pubnico bar anymore.

Oh, well ...

We then headed for our last light. An hours drive away. The rain picked up, the wind picked up, it was pretty nasty driving. But we got that photo, and a new one of Arsaig. I suspect it's a faux light, but authentically built in 2007.

We got to the Victoria Inn (a bed and breakfast) about 4:30, so it wasn't a bad day. Had 3 recommendations for supper, Numbers 1 & 2 were closed (Sunday) but number 3 was pretty good, so not a bad deal.
