Last Triking Day on Prince Edward Island

With us planning to leave PEI tomorrow, today was definitely a triking day. Yesterday we took the day off from triking, and drove the truck to the North Cape of the island. The wind blew the entire day! We were amazed that the locals could cope with it long term. We know it was tough on us.

Check out the photos. We were amazed at the wind mills and their size. If you can click on the sign-board photos, you can read what we read. Pretty interesting stuff…

 

This is ONE of the turbine blades.

This is one of the control modules. One of these sits at the top of each wind mill.

We loved the scraggly shoreline…

How was this truck going to get out of there?!? We know it had four-wheel drive, but still…

Then we wound our way back to the trailer for a lovely steak dinner Paula had planned. Yumm!

So today had to be a triking day, our last full day on the island. We drove to a little wide spot in the road called Fredericton Junction, unloaded the trikes, and cycled to Royalty Junction, another wide spot about 18 miles away, for a total of around 36 miles. Believe it or not, this was our favorite day of triking because the trail had more ups and downs (still at railroad grade, so not terrible), and a cross section of farms and forest. See what you think of the photos…

Those boxes on the end of the parking lot are mailboxes.

See, Leslie did go on the ride. See her foot?!?

This is one of my favorite signs. It identifies an upcoming bridge.

And one more reminder that Leslie is on the ride (and holding the camera).
