Cape Breton Highlands National Park

Luckily enough, the forecasted "5 days of heavy rain" was wrong and the sun has been shining on and off since the day after we arrived in Cape Breton.

Most of our time in Canada we plan to camp. Preferably in national parks and other nice places.
We have our camping gear with us, a lightweight tent, mats, sleeping bags and such.
The tent and the mats, some cooking stuff etc will be going back home once we end our 64 days in Canada. The sleeping bags stay with us.

Anyway, we now entered the Cape Breton national park and pinched our tent on one of the great tenting spots. A level spot, with a table and benches and most important: a wood BBQ for dinner AND "smorsh" -- surely misspelled :-) --
Marshmallows, chocolate and cookies. The marshmallows are roasting over the fire and are squeezed with the chocolate between 2 cookies.

To the point, the Cape Breton Highway park has one road running through the park. The road has to be shared with great big RV trucks (crazy... but more on that later) as well as quite some muscled bike riders. Loads of Lookout points with info boards are located along the road. At least 25 longer and shorter trails are scattered throughout the park. We did some of them, including the one where a lady was killed by 3 coyotes last October... oops, not good.

The park is known for its moose, but we have just seen 1 from a distance. The black bears, mountain lions and the coyotes stayed away from us as well.

Here some pictures we took in the park:

Around 9 pm. The sun was just going under.

A beautiful day.

All is going good.
