The drive around the northern part of the Cabot Trail is fantastic.

The highlight for me was eating fresh Digby scallops - literally catch of the day.

Other than that, I found it to be a pretty boring place. Outside of Halifax, everything shuts down at 8pm.

The biggest takeaway for me was that they didn't understand why Americans bought Moosehead beer. It's just local swill to them.

Rocky , in the 80's in October on a salmon trip- we did the Cabot Trail in a counter clock wise direction. When we were coming off a fealty high peak coming down a range skewer on the backside, a bald eagle drafted right over our windshield. And then seconds later a huge head of Full racked bull moose cane out of this high mountain lake. Eating vegetate toon on the bottom with growth hanging everywhere off his rack. And if your gle had a white head? It may have been the same one- very short hair? Almost bald?

That would be one old eagle - my trip was in 1964.
 
Occurs to me I should mention Cheticamp on the West Coast of Cape Briton on the Cabot Trail. French Canadian fishing village. We got some ocean run Salmon right of the dock, poached it in the trailer -wrapped in that gossamer cloth whose name escapes me this AM - and it put me onto salmon for the rest of my life. Flavor to die for.

Cheticamp was spectacular! There are only a few salmon left in Nova Scotia- the final dagger seams to be the salt water farm raised fish that escape in lg numbers may be spawning with and giving new diseases to the wild fish- and then you've lost thousands of years of genetics and instincts that can't be re captured.
