Traveling through Nova Scotia

After leaving Truro on Sunday, we continued east...

... along Trans Canada Highway 104...

... to a Harvest Host in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, for the night...

...beautiful views from the farm (it had been a chicken farm, now is a brewery - they weren't open on Sunday, but allowed us to stay anyway).

The Starlink got a great signal.

It got up into the high 80s on Sunday afternoon, and then a cold front passed through a little after 6pm and dropped the temperatures 15+ degrees in just minutes.

On Monday, we stopped for fuel -- we were only a little below 1/2 tank, but we like to be sure that we've got sufficient, particularly if we're boondocking and using diesel for heat, hot water, and the generator.

Note that diesel is cheaper than gasoline at Canadian fuel stations. CAN$1.40 per liter is US$3.90 per gallon. That isn't as good as we've been getting with our fleet card in the northeastern US, but it is better than the US pump price at most places we've seen recently.

On our way toward Sydney, Nova Scotia, we stopped at Seal Island Lookoff over Great Bras d'Or. This is looking off toward the north and east, where it goes out into the Atlantic Ocean.

Looking back a little to the south east you may be able to barely see Seal Island bridge that we would be crossing in a few more miles.

Gracie at the Lookoff.

Driving toward Seal Island Bridge - the one we had seen from above.

We stopped for the night at the Walmart in Sydney River - Gracie is down at the corner of the lot with the Jee-rage disconnected and parked nearby.

We visited a few of the stores in the shopping mall, including the Walmart. Is this toilet paper for cats? Or kitteny-soft toilet paper?

We got gyro salads from the Pita Pit for supper.

While it was in the high 80s/low 90s on Sunday afternoon, Monday was quite a bit chillier with highs in the 40s and 13-18MPH winds with gusts for our whole drive. It wasn't a particularly pleasant day for driving! But we have a reservation to take the ferry to Newfoundland from the North Sydney Ferry Terminal on Tuesday noonish, so we wanted to make sure that we were close enough to be able to easily get there for checkin, at least 2 hours early.

So far, Starlink has been giving us great service (as long as there are no obstructions) and we're hopeful that will continue in Newfoundland!
