July 25, 2014 Skyline Trail Hike, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia

Today was THE DAY!  Finally saw a real live moose!  :-)  We did the Skyline Trail, a six mile loop hike through woods and fields, and finally spotted big ol' Mr. Moose.  He was hard to see, through the brush, but we got a couple pictures.  One more thing off my bucket list!


We did the whole loop;  6 miles.

Bubba says:  not to worry, no problem, we got this.....

one half of a bull moose rack.

oh!  oh!  it's a MOOSE!  I see one!

All these folks were looking at the same moose,
who nonchalantly kept on eating and ignoring us.

Picking wild blueberries, putting 'em in my ziploc bag.

My foot, to show the size of these tiny sweet wild blueberries.

Here we are, again.
Gulf of St. Lawrence behind us.

My Bubba is an amazing photographer.

We all froze to watch the rabbit on the edge of the trail.....

The road called the Cabot Trail.


July 22, 2014 Confederation Trail, St. Peters, PEI

Today we took a lovely scenic drive to St. Peters and strolled along the Confederation Trail.  It follows along the side of a beautiful bay, full of mussel-farming!  We always enjoy riding or hiking on rails-to-trails because they are mostly flat and therefore easy to hike and look around at the same time...
