| Day 17, Day 18 - Truro, NS | ||
 We left PEI today. Most of us feel we would love to come back and spend more time here. It is a wonderful place to visit. Free going over, but it cost us $56.50 to return across the bridge. |
 Our first stop was the Cape Gourmand Nature Center which is the first stop after crossing the Confederation Bridge. |

|
 We also stopped at the Nova Scotia welcome center. |
 It was a lovely welcome center with food, gift store and, of course, information. |
|
 Many of our caravan stopped at the Anne Murray center in Springhill, but we bypassed it and went to the Springhill Miner's Museum. |
 The tour included an above the ground talk about the equipment the miners used. |
|
 Before we were allowed into the mine, we had to wear miner's helmets and rain slickers. |
 Although it doesn't show here, the helmets came in very handy as we walked down into the mine and the roof lowered to where there was a fair amount of helmet bumping occurring. |
|
 At 85 feet underground, they are looking at an original tunnel the miners used. The one we walked in was enlarged to accommodate tourists. |
 This is an original tunnel. It is about 3 foot by 3 foot. Not a very inviting site. |
|
 Just thought I'd share this sign. Before you get excited about the prices, remember, these are prices per liter. That makes diesel about $3.41 per gallon and gas about $3.79 per gallon. |
 Our campground for the next two nights is very nice. Good power, water, sewer, cable and free WIFI. That about covers all the good stuff. |
|
 Dinner tonight was at the Hilden Fire Brigade. Providing dinners to groups is their way of raising money for the fire brigade. |
 We all car-pooled to the fire house. |
|
 It takes team work to put together dinner for 34 people. The ladies worked inside.. |
 and the guys handled the pork chop grilling outside. |
|
 We are all seated and waiting for the repast. |
 Tina and Carl are ready to dig into their pork chop dinner. |
|
 Sue Schmidt looks good as she prepares to drive to the next rescue. |
 The entire group; well almost, I didn't realize until after that Barry and Terry were inside paying the bill when the picture was taken. |
