The "South Loop" Cabot Trail

We drove across the island, about mid point and proceeded south to Point Hawksbury.  Along the way we stopped at several towns, including the famous Glenora Inn & Distillery. Known for it's single malt liquor.  It is north of Mabou.  It is smaller than I imagined, but in a beautiful setting.  Unfortunately we arrived after lunch service stopped and the last tour started.

We enjoyed walking the grounds.

The country side is rugged, with a two lane highway running it's length. We stopped in a number of towns to admire the coast, small towns, and unique architecture.  Many of the homes are old but meticulously maintained with absolutely stunning flower gardens.

We arrived back at the campground tired but happy, had a campfire and went to bed early.

We did learn a new recipe for moose nose stew.  It is made like brunswick stew, using  the moose's proboscis.  it does not taste like chicken! Has the texture of tongue.  We took their word for it.  

By the way, it appears we did not bring enough warm clothes, it was a two comforter night last evening.  We miss y'all, but not the heat and humidity that seems to be stuck in the south and midwest.
