When I came back to my campsite after all my Louisbourg stuff was done, the campsite next to me was occupied by a motorcyclist and during the night he snores loudly.
Black flies were really bad while packing the campsite. Weather is good and now I have changed my route. I would have to double back from Louisburg to Syndey but I also doubled back onto Hwy.4 just south of Portage onto Hwy. 316. This way I can reach Baddeck and not miss any of the Cabot trail. I had lunch in Eskasona and everybody there was really nice. This route follows the Bras Dor lake on the other side. It is very scenic, water everywhere. Up to this point , I have not been using the aero bars, too much shifting with all the hills and valleys. I went for a swim in Iona at the pier and then I had to take the ferry across at Little Narrows. Jogger running towards me on the shoulder and then he extended his arm to give me a high five as well as I and we made contact. I am now on the Trans Canada Hwy and this is good. I saw people with water jugs filling them with water from a pipe coming from the mountain side. They said it`s good drinking water and I had a good drink and it was very refreshing.
Here is the story of the day. While riding I saw something move out of the brush along the shoulder and it flew, I stopped and this bird flew not far and landed on a branch. It was a bald eagle., I got real close quietly and I got a real good picture. I still haven`t seen a moose or bear
