  1. Have any of you taken the Lighthouse Tour offered by In Motion? It
    leaves via ferry from Portland Maine and then takes about 7 days around
    Nova Scotia. My wife and I are considering taking the tour in 2007.

    The other posts I've found date from when the Can Am wheelers ran the
    event. I wondered if it was still run under what appears to be a change
    in management? I am very interested to hear about your impressions and
    experiences about this ride.

    Thanks in advance for your reply,
    Matt

    Is this the ride you are asking about?:

    In Aug 2006, I met the group twice- I was doing the same route
    in reverse. I just saw them coming out of Yarmouth, as I was coming in.
    Several days later I was camping at the same campground near Middleton and
    talked to several of them. It was a very impressive group. They
    had a "tent city" with numbered "streets", even a trailer with
    their own showers. By 8 AM all their tents were packed and they
    were ready to roll.

    It also solved the mystery of the "Dan Henrys" I've seen
    around Nova Scotia in the last few years. They had painted new ones
    in the spring of 2006.

  3. That's the one. Thanks for the post. Sounds like fun, either with the
    tour on on your own. Did you get a set of route maps somewhere or make
    up you own?

    Thanks!
