After spending the evening in Antigonish I headed north and ended up staying in an old farmhouse in a place called Margaree. This is most definitely the most peaceful place I've been yet. I counted two cars that drove by in the day I spent here. The only sounds were those of the cows munching away at the grass.
Meatloaf and fresh veggies for supper, a warm bed to sleep in, and a drive up to the main road. What more could you ask for?
I ended up spending three days on the Cabot Trail. I decided that hitchhikers didn't have to pay an entry fee to get into the park and walked right past the ticket window. I was either fast enough, or I was right...
I managed to hike four or so of the marked trails, all with their own inherent beauty. I could have easily spent weeks hiking and camping here. I managed to spot whales off the coast, coyotes, rabbits, and even bumped into a couple moose on one of the trails.
I had intended to jump from the Mary Ann falls, but after two days of heavy rain they looked a bit too dangerous.
Luckily there were cooking shelters along the trail with picnic benches and woods stoves which made an excellent place to spend the night during thundershowers. A tad bit creepy though...
A night or two in Sydney, then it's off to Newfoundland.
