2015 Roads Trips

[ebiss9]

The wife and I are heading up to Nova Scotia for about 8 days in June. We will be taking the ferry from Portland, ME to Yarmouth, NS. This is the first time utilizing a B&B for the entire time instead of a hotel. We are also keeping our fingers crossed for good weather and a great time. Then we’re returning home via land route split up in 2 days. Not sure what the rest of the summer holds in store since I’ve retired but the wife is still working. We’ll probably try to keep it relatively local, (within 6 to 10 hours of home), and use the Aspen camper we purchased in 2013 as we only camped with it 3 times.

We are going to NS on the ferry out of Portland on the 23rd of June....when are you going? We will be heading about 7hr drive north to Cape Brenton once of the boat. going to do the loop (Cabot Trail) around the cape and then head back to Maine via New Brunswick, CA. If our travel times jive we could ride together for a bit.

Hi Dennisgar, I wish we had viewed your original post when we made our travel plans. Sorry but we will be leaving NJ on June 10th and be in Yarmouth, NS Thursday morning on June 11th. After taking care of some local business, we will eat breakfast in Yarmouth then head to Truro where our B&B is located. Planning on traveling the Cabot trail Friday and Saturday with an overnight stop approximately mid-point but that is subject to change. Our itinerary is not entirely complete but we're also including the Bay of Fundy, Prince Edward Island and local wineries, weather permitting, along with a good lobster dinner somewhere. We will head back to NJ via land route on June 17[SUP]th[/SUP], with a stopover in Freeport, ME. Be safe on your trip and if we find any other exceptional sights we'll pass them on to you.....Rob and Debbie

Just set up a trip from Maine to Nova Scotia for the end of June. Will take the trike on the ferry from Portland to Yarmouth NS. Will then ride up to Cape Brenton were we will spend a couple nights and take the 185 mile loop around the island (Cabot Trail). Heading back will make overnight stops in St John NB, and someplace in ME.

I've never taken the ferry but I had a friend who took his Ultra Classic on it and he wasn't happy with the way the bike was strapped down. I'd suggest you bring 2-3 ratchet straps with you and lots of $$$$ for the ferry ride.
