Well after talking for a long time about doing this ride I did it.
4945 miles all together, MO to Mi. up across the Mac Bridge, thru Sudbury On.
17 across, Ontario Canada, to Ogdensburg NY
Highway 2 across Vt. NH. to I-95 north to Bangor Me.
North to New Brunswick, Across New Brunswick, to Moncton NB,
Over to Prince Edward Island, on the bridge 15 miles long.
No charge to get on the Island, but $18.50 for a motorcycle,
and $46 for a car to get off. lol
Then to Cape Breton Island and the Cabot Trail.. what a ride.
Then rode the coast line to Halifax, capital of Nova Scotia,
Then north to Digby, NS. Took the Digby-St.John Ferry to New Brunswick
where Cuban lives. Cost $100 with senior discount.
Then to Woodstock NB. Camping by a lake. Next morning crossed the border to US.
Rode to Bangor Me. Then across to Burlington Vt. South to Cooperstown NY<
Got a motel in Copperstown NY for $122 Baseball Hall of Fame Crap.
Home through Indy, St. Louis Mo. to home in Independence, Mo. 4945 miles
Met this man in Bangor Me. he lives in a van in the Walmart parking lot.
Here is his Van and I asked what's in the pet carrier? His Chickens, he said they help keep him warm. lol
Cabot Trail camera does not do it justice.
Somewhere different
No deer stands in here I guess.
Folk Art
I needed a Lobster Trap
Steak House after to Cabot Trail 22 oz. it was great, shared the table with two bikers from Halifax
No BBQ today but maybe next time.
Nice couple in Prembroke Ont. he was Irish, she was French, liked my camper and Trike.
I spent 13 nights in the Mini Mate Camper, and two nights in a motel. Campsites were $11 to $28.50
Motels cost $99 in Bangor Me. and $122 in Cooperstown NY. Home of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Best trip I have ever taken 15 days, and 4945 miles of riding, one, rainy day I was very lucky.
Highest temp up North was 82 most days 77 79 80, and cool enough to get in the sleeping bag at night.
One Park campground was full, so they took me to the overflow area. Down to the beach. I had the waves
crashing about 100 ft from my camper......Nice sleeping.
Gas around $1 a liter, 3 -1/2 liters to a gal. $1.89 in Erie Pa.

Re: Bucket List Ride to Cape Breton Island
No I made it to PEI the Long Bridge and $18.50 for a motorcycle to get off the Island.
Great place I liked it a lot. Started to rain just after I returned off the bridge.

Re: Bucket List Ride to Cape Breton Island
Sounds like I missed a great trip and one I could have afforded. After hocking the van.

Re: Bucket List Ride to Cape Breton Island
I did not make any videos on this trip.
I wish I had, but I still had a great time.
I should have slowed down and seen more.
I'm 68, and thought I may never get back here.
So I tried to see it all on this trip.
