8:46 am

Hi Dan.

Scrabbler

My sister found the Schoodic Peninsula to be nearly empty of people whereas MDI was packed yesterday.

6:03 pm

penquis

I am not sure where my great nephew went...said he climbed a mountain, went down the mountain....expected a 2 mi. beach trail but it was closed because falcons were nesting....so he had to climb up the mountain again... ;o)

6:06 pm

Scrabbler

Precipice Mtn is closed for a few months every summer when the peregrine falcons raise their young. My sister climbed Beehive Mtn which is scary but worth it for the views.

6:07 pm

penquis
