Yes, we are still alive and still exploring the islands of Maine and Atlantic Canada! This year we had a wonderful two-week September trip to Cape Breton where we got 'scenery overload', it was just too lovely. We also saw our first moose there. The trails are all wonderfully maintained and a joy to walk. They even have benches along the way on many of the trails for enjoying the scenery or taking a break. The provincial parks were lovely, too. Two of the trails even had clean and well-stocked outhouses!

For our September 2007 trip, we spent a week on Grand Manan island in Canada. What a wonderful island with kind and friendly people. We hiked about 8 miles every day and only covered half the trails. The Provincial campground there was very comfortable, beautiful and peaceful. The island also has a well stocked grocery store and a pharmacy, too as well as restaurants. There is more than one town on the island.
