This is one, of three, major deportation sights of the Acadians from Nova Scotia by the English in 1755. The list of deported family names could be mistaken for a South Louisiana phone book.
The Cabot Trail (Part One)

The Cabot Trail is a world famous coastal loop along Nova Scotia’s northern peninsula. This area is said to become more secluded, scenic, and Scottish looking. So far, yes to all.

Who can feel stress among such calming scenery!!! The sunset photos are awesome!!!😘🤗Mom
Geaux GurusWe got pretty lucky! The owner of the patch of land we stayed at last night (and tonight) was Roland Doucet. Seriously sounded like he was from South Louisiana. Great people.
The Cabot Trail (Part Two)

This was the final leg of The Cabot Trail. Beautiful views. Unfortunately, we still have not seen a moose or a whale. Patience is a virtue.
The Morning Catch

We found a great boondocking spot next to the Little River Harbor. Right on the ocean. We knew the fisherman would be getting up early. However, we were not expecting the amazing sunrise!
Icebergs!

So I have to ask, “ is that cute little pink building an outhouse?” Nice parking spot!!!😉
Geaux GurusIt is not. This is a closed down camping site. They have several little chalets like the pink one shuttered. No trash or facilities. True, free off grid site. We have been there for three days of glorious views!
Around Twillingate

Spiller Cove Hike
