Across this narrow causeway lies the delightful provincial park known as Graves Island. Named for the Graves and Zinck families who migrated to Nova Scotia from Germany in late 1750’s. Walking trails criss cross a birch and Frazier fir🌲 laden forest along the rocky seashore. Nature’s best air freshener!
View from our campsite
even the ferns turn…
Three hours up the eastern coastline is Battery Provincial Park in St. Peter’s. It’s founding and the former Fort Toulouse, a fish and fur trading post pre date the settlement of Halifax. Interestingly there is a unique mix of French, English, Mi’ kmaq and Gaelic influence throughout the province. Signs vary from English/French to English/Gaelic.
lobster traps in St. Peter’s and some type of fish hatchery in Port Hawkesbury.
Cell reception is limited on the outer highlands hopefully better as we make it around the horn tomorrow. Currently viewing the seals along Cape Breton shore…
Yes those two black dots are seal heads bobbing in the sea!
Happy Sunday and Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 🦃 🇨🇦. n&j

I thought crossing over our main entrance dam was scary, but that narrow causeway to Graves Island tops it. The photos are terrific and wish I could sniff the Frazier fir right now (O Tannenbaum). Miss seeing your food and beverage pics, you’ll just have post some the next time.
Wishing you a continued happy and safe adventure!
