Photo Album Photo of the Day for June 29 Looking Off Bill's Front Yard Inch by inch I crawl to to the edge. Quite a thrill. Always the chance a little erosion will make you a permanent resident...

	Fair Margaree This valley has a timeless magic. Why change what is so good? Fertile farmland, picturesque valley and good fishing keep many here and attract a faithful following of visitors.
	Good car shot Fine day for a drive.
	The Arch at Margaree Harbour We will have to come back and explore this rock formation next year.
	Cape Breton Highlands National Park The now familiar site of Cap Rouge - our landmark for the start of the highlands. Blue sky & twisty roads, we are here!
	Skyline Trail straight ahead The ridge before us is one of the park trails we took two years ago. No crowds visible on this Monday morning. Now, if only Dave could remain in the correct lane going around these blind curves! ;)
	Heading toward Mackenzie and Pleasant Bay Just over North Mountain and its bogs and barrens. No moose spotted, just endless fir trees.
	Afternoon destination Going to check out the cabin of our Internet pal, Bill A, and hike along the coastline at Pleasant Bay.
	Highland Valley Now just try to put in a road here or hike from ridge to ridge. The valleys are just as breathtaking if you can tear your eyes away from the Cape Breton-blue sea.
	Red River Road drive Off we go to what is soon to be a challenging dirt drive. Once again we come upon a road in the process of being graded- with a ridge of dirt and till full of boulders sometimes in the center of the road, sometimes nearly eliminating a lane. We had to cross over a few times, Rosanne got out to move the big nuggets.
	Dappled Sunlit Path The start of the trail is a slow ascent along a fairly wide trail. Dave was faithfully recording/following our position on the GPS.
	Long look back Red River and Gampo Abbey in the foreground, MacKenzie Mountain in the background.
	A snake warms up This guy is probably still trying to warm his blood up from yesterday. When you visit Cape Breton, don't get discouraged by bad weather because there is always a beautiful day just around the corner!
	Can You Believe This Blue? I get a little queezie with my love so close to the edge of the cliff so I forgot to level the horizon line.
	Proposed Trail There's talk of a trail network along this currently inaccessible coastline: From Pleasant Bay to Meat Cove. Good walking and great views. This is just a preview.
	On My Knees to Get this Photo Dramatic
	Standing Among the Cow Patties Let your nose tell you where you are, no moose would smell this ripe! Looking up the stream we spotted the mystery moose - yup, a herd of cattle.
	Scenic Pasture Where cow and moose meet on the edge of Cape Breton.
	Stand there, I need to get you in perspective You just have to imagine this towering mountain ridge above us and the surf crashing several hundred feet below where Dave stands.
	Valley Stream Our turn-around point and where we spotted 4 cows lounging about.
	Dave mows lawn Bill, if my car had a trailer hitch I would have taken the time to mow your lawn.
	Bill's Place Our newest Internet pal, Bill A., gave us some good tips on the area. He plans to retire here, but we hope to make an offer on this fixer-upper if he ever decides to sell.
	A Seal! Ok, so you need binoculars to see it. Look for the little white dot on the fan shaped rock just left of center. Rosanne loves to spot seals, so we had to keep this picture.
	The view from our room The beaches at Dingwall provide spectacular view of Cape North to the west and White Point to the East.
	Long Shadows At the end of a long day, we relax on the lawn of the Markland Coastal Resort in Dingwall.
