Day 14 - Radio Tower near Sand Point, NS to Louisbourg Lighthouse

Day 14/Radio tower west of Sand Point, NS to Louisbourg Lighthouse

As usual with the cool 40+ mornings in the “box”, up early and drive to heat up the rv.  Stop to get internet and do morning things like breakfast/showers.
Our driving goal today was to get close to Sydney so that we could get ready to take the ferry to Newfoundland. 

There wasn’t much to do along our route in the way of hiking or beach walking so we drove as far as we could.  We arrived at Louisbourg Lighthouse mid-afternoon and since it is light enough to walk until 9 pm this time of year, we hit the Louisbourg Lighthouse trail…10 km or 6 miles round trip. 

 I nice walk with the farthest parts being a bit wet but doable….a much needed walk! It went through coastal forest of black spruce and balsam (can you smell the balsam???) and by rocky beaches. 




Later David will make a video so you can hear the rocks babble.

We are aiming to stay at the lighthouse overnight…let’s see how well that works out!
