Friday 9/11

Cheticamp is a thriving shore community and is protected from the storms coming in off of the Gulf of St. Lawrence by Cheticamp Island. Farming,rug making,fishing for lobsters, and crab are the basis for the areas economy.

We started out day with a ride down the coastline, The views were spectacular.
Next, we hiked the Skyline Trail. The trail takes you through a spruce forest, across savannahs and right to the cliffs edge for beautiful views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
You can look down and see the road you arrived on, or pivot and watch for whales.(None spotted!). There was also a hint that moose might be in the area, but no luck!

Farther down the Cabot Trail we stopped for a look at the village of Pleasant Bay. On the way back to camp, we made one more stop. Hoping to spot a moose, we stopped at the Bog Trail. After a long, cold windy wait we gave up and started for the car. And yes, there was the moose….at the roadside. We were also blessed with a terrific evening sky.
