2008-07-12 South Shore Day 1
Rodney have been meaning to go camping for quite a while now and the opportunity came this weekend.
No set plans or destination but only a direction was agreed upon. I left at 9:00 Sat am and headed to Peggy's Cove for a pic and
then on to Rodney's for a coffee. We hit the road at 10:30 and headed for the Lighthouse Route.
We made it to Chester for lunch where I had $7.50 Guinness and fish and chips. I won't be doing that again.
It took about an hour and a half but the views were spectacular. Gotta love their bar maids. We got on to some of the abandoned
rail lines but decided it was just too damn hot to be riding them today so we got back on to the #3
It was starting to get late and time to start looking for a place to camp. Once we crossed the LaHave we came across this beach
where everyone was driving their cars so we decided to give it a go. It's very hard going on the dry stuff as you need some speed
but we didn't want to scare the locals with our Dakar riding style. We wanted to look around The Ovens for a minute but didn't want to pay
the 8 bux for the pleasure. About an hour later and a bunch of OK but not great spots we managed to find a spot off of a dirt road.
We even asked for permission from the land owner. He said I had a perdy mouth.
Once we set up camp, Rodney shows me what he brought along. His DVD player and The Long Way Round.
Perfect!
