The Cabot Trail & the Highlands

The famous Cabot Trail meanders through the Cape Breton Highlands is the main tourist attraction in that region. Having already driven up a huge mountain previously, I decided that I would be a passenger for this part of the journey. Sweaty palms and trembling limbs are not a good combination for driving high in the sky.

Close to camp.

Didn't see one whale ever!

As soon as we got into the Highlands, the fog started to roll in. Ugh.

Glad that I don't have to live in one of these. It looks awfully damp and drafty. Poor Scots.

This is bad. This is very bad. We were 3/4 of the way up to the top of the Cabot Trail when I started to kind of freak out, so we decided to call it a day and head back to camp. Of course, once we left the Highlands, the storm disappeared.
