The Backside of Beyond


Go To The Backside of Beyond.  That’s how one local gave me directions to a local attraction.  Took me a moment to realize what this woman was saying. Thought it was a really cute way of saying it was off the beaten track.
We’re currently camping on Cape Breton Island, the easternmost part of Nova Scotia.  While here we plan to drive the Cabot Trail and kayak in Bras d’Or Lake (pronounced BeDoor).  Perhaps we’ll do a Puffin boat ride or tour a distillery.  Maybe Chuck will see a moose in the wild.
As full-time RVers, I found one question asked of us quite interesting. “Where are you going on your vacation and for how long?”  I suppose each campground could count as a vacation, with the drive between them our work. Being retired and living out of our 5th wheel camper, we have our home with us; it just doesn’t feel like we’re on a permanent vacation.
We plan to stay in the region for several days up to two weeks and then plan to head on to Prince Edward Island to continue our exploration.
