Ride Pics 26Sept-1Oct Dialup Users Beware

Here are some pics from the trip up north... I didnt reach my goal of NFD which is ok, since Hurricane Juan decided to come visit while I was there...

Did you ever get a bad feeling on a boat?...LOL I was wedged between a HUGE bus and a motorhome... actually thank god because the ride was rough and every other vehicle got drenched... I also took the time to realize the previous guy didnt have the rear suspension set up for heavy weight...grrrrr

After having to make the tough decision on not making it to NFD I decided to start my trip up to Prince Edward Island... which took me into my first "REAL" rainstorm... this was a quick stop to put the rain cover on my tank bag...

Once I got close to PEI I found the Confederation Bridge which is real long...real high... did I mention I was on a bike? My hands were a little tired from fighting 1000lbs worth of bike rider and gear in 30+mph winds after the 12+km long bridge

I was thinking about taking some pics of the devistation on the island... but I decided against it... it was really kinda sad to see all the shit that happened... keep in mind this was a catagory 2 hurricane which had 145kmph sustained winds... about 85-90mph... there were trees littered everywhere...if you could picture what a tornado does...then make it 10 miles wide...

SO instead I passed thru the bad areas... and made it out to the southeast coast quickly where this was the first ferry to make it back to the island from Nova Scotia

This is how quickly a storm comes through... I was standing at the northeastern coast tip... and watched this come through...note the color of the water on both sides...it was gone as fast as it showed up...
