Today we started the Cape Breton Cabot Trail. It's a 185 mile loop around Cape Breton that takes us through Cape Breton Highlands National Park. This is supposed to be one of the most beautiful drives in all of North America. Our first stop was Black Brook Beach where we joined the locals and tourists on the beach for a swim and romp in the sand. The water was pretty chilly but everyone was swimming, so I went in, not for long, I am out and warming in the sun. It was in the mid to upper 80's today and sunny so it felt refreshing. It is now high season so we expect to see many more travelers on the road this week in Cape Breton. After the beach time, we drove up the coast a bit to check out some boondock spots at a lighthouse and some pull offs but no luck. We mosey up the road until we do find a small pull out with an ocean view and call it a night.
Miles: 81 / 5976
