Day 25 - Minas Basin


The wind last night was heavy but short lived. It knocked down a few small branches in the campsite but didn’t do any damage that we saw. Some areas further south are without power today. The wind was followed by rain which stopped by morning.

We packed up and drove south to mainland Nova Scotia along the coast. It is an attractive drive but the roads are a little rough. We finally stopped for the night at a campground on the Minas Basin. We had hoped to go a bit further but the campgrounds which are supposed to be open have closed. The one where we stopped is closing tomorrow. It is supposed to be open for a couple of more weeks but the proprietor explained that because of the cool wet weather they aren’t getting the business.

We got a nice sheltered site on the small cliff over the water. This area claims to have the highest tides in the world of up to 56 feet. We took a couple of low and high tide shots and it didn’t appear to be that much of a difference.
