Day 13 Tues June 18, Inverness County, NS to Montague,PEI...to the Island

We started the day riding the rest of the very scenic Cabot trail. After leaving Cape Breton, we rode along the Sunrise Trail on our way to the Canso Causeway and then, the ferry crossing to PEI. The locals call the Sunrise Trail the baby Cabot Trail and after riding it, we understand why. Along the way, we startled a deer who ran in front of us for quite a distance before turning back from the road into the bush. 

We also stopped at a lighthouse at St George in a beautiful setting overlooking the ocean. 



On the ferry, we met  another biker (Jim) who was an extraordinarily interesting person and also a passionate sailor. Because of his advice, we headed east on the PEI Coastal Drive. I was surprised to see a fox on the lawn on a rural property. I later learned that foxes are very common on the Island.

While stopping for some local beer (Sir John A MacDonald) and talking to some local folks, we learned of a nearby B&B near Montague.

After getting lost trying to find the Knox Dam B&B, we finally arrived to find a real gem, not to mention an historic site.
