The Island Can Do That To You ...


It was a perfect Island day for a ride and the perfect ride today was to the North Cape. Highway 1 lead to Summerside and to the North Cape Coastal Drive (11, 2 and 14.)  With hardly a car in sight, blue skies and perfect temperatures the curvaceous, often ocean hugging road was a delight all the way to the Island's northern most tip. On the Star’s maiden voyage (PEI via Ohio/ 2010) I happened to visit the North Cape and stopped at Shirley’s in Tignish for the best BLT I’d ever had so I convinced Ron we needed to stop there for (my) old time’s sake.
They didn’t let us down, a delicious chicken sandwich and PEI fries for me and a homemade burger and fries for Ron.  
Ron, the photo bomber.
When folks think of Prince Edward Island they think small, and relatively speaking it is but it was still a good day’s ride from Cornwall to the North Cape and back (358.8 km according to Dan.) I’ve already lost track of time … the Island can do that to you.

    1. I can't believe the weather either Bob ... and I won't tell you what the rest of the folks ate for lunch today (Lobster Rolls - whoops, I said I wouldn't tell.) But if it makes you feel better, I didn't eat one.

    1. Thanks Richard. That's the North Cape ... where I've found out two tides meet.

    1. It's been beautiful. I didn't know that the reef you can see behind Ron is the longest natural rock reef in North America. There were two seals playing on it that day.

  4. Karen, losing track of time is wonderful. One more reason to visit PEI.

  5. Great photos, as always. Haven't been to the Island in years - perhaps it's time for another visit.
