Today we traveled 200 miles all on the Trans Canadian Highway from Truro to North Sydney, Nova Scotia, at the end of Cape Breton Island. The first 50 and last 10 miles of the trip was through mist and fog--remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea. We had stayed in Truro another day to wait out the worst of the storm. It rained bickets for twelve hours and there was a little wind. Elm Creek, next to our campground, overflowed its banks but did not reach our campsite. We watched the river closely late into the night, along with other campers and the owner of the park. We went to bed ready to pull out quickly, if necessary.

Tomorrow we will take the 6-8 hour ferry ride to Newfoundland. We will have to put Carlos in his airline approved kennel and take it to a kennel room on the ferry. We can visit him in this kennel room and take him out to a place where he can do his business. We have reserved seats on the ferry and are looking forward to this experience. We visited the ferry terminal today and noted several trucks obviously carrying dangerous materials. An official explained that there is a special ferry used to transport these  dangerous cargo to Newfoundland. They can only transport 14 of these trucks at one time. Glad they will not be going with us!

We're getting up early, getting to the terminal early, and we plan to be in Newfoundland for nearly 6 weeks. What an experience!
