Surprised! I'm not too tired today (yet)…after staying up until 4am
working on our trip photos.
They are worth it BUT we take hundreds of them daily & when I get too far behind I need to do a lot of cross checking with my Quicken entries as well as
a little calendar I try to make notes in and not always doing so.
Woke up to heavy winds today. We are planning to make our
move to the north shore of Nova Scotia later. Just heard on the radio that rain will
begin this afternoon, heavy tonight & expected to continue into Friday.
Yea, now what?
To wait it out or not ?
We're not in any hurry....
Don't like the wind when towing AND rain could make it even worse.
Our next campground is on the north shore, Middleton, which is only about 65 miles from here in Lunenburg........................
We decided to go for it.
En route to Middleton, we stopped for lunch in a town called
New Germany , NS. The restaurant was called DeLong's.
That's my maiden name!
Hey, maybe I'll be able to get some more information to add to the little amount I currently have.
Nope! No one with the name DeLong was there at the time. DRAT! I was so excited. Oh well, I didn't get much information from the friendly waitress but the fresh fish lunch was really good & there was a large parking lot with room for us with our "shoebox" trailer which made things easy.
Joey discovered if you click on the map or any photo it gets larger.
Doesn't work for the videos though.

The expected windy drive turned out to be a non-event.

Checked
in at Orchard Queen Motel and Camp in Middleton ,
NS
Good WI FI ….heavy rains expected for the whole of Nova
Scotia tonight, tormorrow & possibly through the
weekend.
Sept 20 Thursday
We decided to drive all the way down to Yarmouth ,
NS
Yarmouth
was to be the furthest southern point on the north side of the NS peninsula
that we planned to go.
On the map above you can see Yarmouth almost at the tip of the peninsula.
It has a black square around it's name.

I figured out we
could dilly-dally the slower Hwy #1 along through the coastal villages on the way BACK to camp
& then if/when it got dark we'd just jump onto the major/faster Hwy #101 to
quickly get back to camp & then tomorrow we could return to the point at which the darkness came & start over from there with our dilly-dallying……
Reasoning that the longest distance part of the trip would be out of the
way on the first day & a much sorter segment for tomorrow.
WELL, the weather turned out to be just fine. It was cool
and the sun kept peeping through from time to time in the afternoon.
Yarmouth had many Sea Captains Homes to peek at in a drive-by.
It's called Cape Fouchu
OOPS ! YOU NEED TO TILT YOUR HEAD
TO THE RIGHT TO SEE THIS ONE !
Ok, Yarmouth is as far south as we went so:
On the return to camp, Heading northward on Hwy #1 the first impressive area was Mavillette & it's long sandy beach (that’s a change from previous rocky beaches)
and it's near Cape St Mary.

Met 2 guys, Acadian (French) motor-bikers on the beach of Mavillette
We were on our way back to camp & were hungry, Why not try it?
The sun was setting & we needed to get on our way to Meteghan
I was anxious to try some more Rappé Pie
It often includes shredded potatoes along with the meat as well as with a sauce of some sort. Upper left photo has a berry sauce.
It's not something I'd make a habit of but; "When In Rome"
Well they had music there too. One lady customer got in the mood & danced in the hallway.
I wasn't able to capture much on iPhone camera but here're my 2 attempts.
I MUST stop taking videos in the horizontal position !
Tilt head sideways again to the right....JEEZE !
AND NOW THE DANCER:
LAST STOP OF THE DAY
Fort Anne National Historic Site: HEY, another FORT !!!
