Text of the page (random words):
the highlight for us was meat cove it felt like the end of the earth even though newfoundland lies just 500 miles to the north this spot was worth the 8 miles of well graded dirt road as it s rated one of the 10 most scenic campgrounds in canada and deserves the distinction 2012 richard broadwell the dirt road dead ends right at the family owned meat cove campground the mclellan family have lived and fished in meat cove for 6 generations and what a beautiful spot grassy cliffs right on the ocean 2012 richard broadwell meat cove campground but you do have to be careful duh a couple of days before we arrived a lone tent camper who had pitched his tent on this rock protruding from the cliff fell to his death 2012 richard broadwell the local news was full of demands to erect a fence but it would be a shame to mar such a beautiful spot you just have to use common sense don t wander around in the dark and tie up us crazy dogs fosho on our second night a full moon rose right in front of us we would have stayed longer but the weather turned 2012 richard broadwell so we headed back to the cabot trail and continued along the east side of cape breton in the rain luckily we found a great campground to wait out the weather joyful journeys right before the ferry to englishtown i hung out with some new buddies simon broadway faith and shiloh the cat while i waited for the sun to come out nearby was sydney where the ferries to newfoundland come and go i had heard stories from my buddy honey about the size of the moose there and i really really wanted to see an eight foot moose but a hurricane was barreling up the coast so we headed south to halifax instead we arrived at the very nice halifax west koa in the pouring rain just as the outer bands of hurricane leslie were now hitting nova scotia we hunkered down and waited finally it stopped raining and we headed to the famous fishing village peggy s cove on st margaret s bay just southwest of halifax 2012 richard broadwell 2012 richard broadwell this is a beautiful shoreline steeped in lore about the brave fisherman who ve had more than their share of maritime disaster rescues from the titanic to swissair flight 111 which crashed into the bay in 1998 we camped at the beautiful family owned and operated king neptune campground on indian harbor just minutes from peggy s cove 2012 richard broadwell king neptune campground it was a lovely spot and right next to a lobster pound too yummy and though we did go into halifax for lunch by this time we felt allergic to big cities after being in the wilderness for so long we explored further down the coast to the scenic port of lunenburg but decided it was time to head back to the usa to await the fall leaves just in case you haven t seen enough of lobsters and lighthouses i will leave you with two more pictures 2012 richard broadwell peggy s point lighthouse 2012 richard broadwell yours truly coming up next the long winding road home share

lobsters and lighthouses posted on january 24 2013 by carol after the horrible destruction of hurricane sandy this fall the weather we experienced this summer on the east coast made more sense climate change is here it wasn t our imagination as july 2012 was the hottest month ever on record it was close to 100 degrees almost every day and the storms never stopped even as we headed north to nyc after a stop in annapolis maryland to visit my buddy wyatt and his very special human cheryloni oh and those crabs were delish though the weather didn t cooperate so no pics we also had a great time in annapolis visiting my cousins kristy and allie it was so stormy we only ventured into the big apple once and that very night yet another durecho straight line thunderstorms headed directly for us a tornado touched down in the city as we all hunkered down on my buddy truman s porch in new jersey i must take a moment to remember my friend truman as he has since passed he was not only incredibly handsome but he was a true man dearly loved by his humans and all who met him he will be sorely missed rip truman truman and i bonded instantly as we huddled together commiserating because our silly humans insisted on sitting outside on the porch as lightening danced all around we would look at each other as if to say really then we d chuckle when a bolt hit a bit too close and they d scream like banshees we left our buddies in new jersey to visit my friend ace we had to drive like mad to get there ahead of yet another huge storm we had yummy cocktails and a fabulous dinner with long time friends while we waited for the weather to pass we made a quick stop at mystic seaport in connecticut to see the tall ships and then it was on to newport ri one of my humans had never been to new england before so the next few weeks were all about lobsters and lighthouses 2012 richard broadwell there are very few rv parks near newport but the closest one is meadowlark trailer park in middleton it was tight but adequate for touring the area this fabulous beach was just down the road 2012 richard broadwell we drove the scenic 10 mile ocean drive and walked the famous cliff walk if these are

take the ferry to martha s vineyard but the only rv park on the island doesn t allow dogs my nerves we headed out to the tip of cape cod to stay at horton s campground in truro it was near the dunes and the sun was out to stay at least for few days we took art s jeep tour of the dune shacks where many famous artists have lived and worked during the summers with no electric or water including playwright eugene o neill norman mailer and jackson pollack 2012 richard broadwell now i have seen the movie jaws numerous times and so i wasn t thrilled about swimming on those beaches there had been a great white shark attack just days before we got there though the signs on the beach only said recent shark sighting sighting my the brave man and his son survived but his bite was determined to have been from a great white see how unhappy i look 2012 richard broadwell you all know by now how much i love to swim but you have to admit i look just like a seal in the water and i had no intention of being shark bait fosho lots of humans were swimming along with the seals so i kept a sharp eye out but from a very safe distance 2012 richard broadwell luckily the old harbor lifesaving station was nearby though i later found out it had been de commissioned in 1944 these stations were positioned up down the cape and were manned 10 months of the year to rescue stranded sailors at sea 2012 richard broadwell 2012 richard broadwell i couldn t wait to get to provincetown it s such a colorful town but has changed a lot over the years it s year round population of 3000 people swells to 60 000 during

fingers are all stunning one beautiful vista after another we tried to do them all we visited the cuckolds lighthouse at cape newagen in the fog 2012 richard broadwell and then had a wonderful lobster lunch at robinson wharf restaurant outside of boothbay harbor 2012 richard broadwell one of our favorite areas was pemaquid in the bristol area there was a very small campground sherwood forest

pulls visited with the livestock and went to the moxie museum on the grounds known for their smart marketing campaigns this moxie bottle is 33 feet tall and was designed to be easy to take apart and put back together to tour trade shows and amusement parks a century ago as a moxie vending booth 2012 richard broadwell moxie soda was one of the first mass produced soft drinks in the us it s creator dr augustin thompson was a relative of ours his granddaughter my aunt virginia used to tell us stories of how ed wynn the famous actor would stay at their summer house on friendship island and later coined the term to have a lot of moxie meaning a lot of spunk on broadway the drink is somewhat bitter and has a kick which comes from its secret ingredients of sassafras and gentian root which was used in the original nerve tonic the use of sassafras was outlawed in the 1960 s and the formula was changed making it sweeter to compete with other sodas but it s fans were outraged and it was changed back to gentian root and wintergreen in the 1980 s it is still sold today we had a great lunch in beautiful camden famous for being the setting of the tv show peyton place 2012 richard
