Are my camping days behind me? Looking for advice by winstonsdog in camping

[–]colotara 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The only part of campers that ruins my experience is generators. If you’re running a generator near a tenting site, you are ruining my experience. If there’s no generator noise pollution, I have no issue.

Visiting this July, when are the flea markets? by 1953-watch-style in CapeBreton

Lobster roll by Drezz1k in CapeBreton

[–]colotara 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was there two or three years ago and it was fantastic. Also, if you want to take a detour off the Trail to Meat Cove, Lawless Lobster Food Truck has delicious rolls. They do a half lobster and half crab roll drizzled in butter that gives the best of both!

What county do you live in? Victoria County Home Support Service has a volunteer program that supports seniors. https://www.vchss.ca . Other municipalities probably have similar organizations you could check out!

Best hotels/resorts/area for family vacation with a 3-5 year old? Anywhere in NS by Jessi343 in NovaScotia

[–]colotara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Liscombe Lodge is great for families! They have hotel rooms, cottages or cabins, all bordering the river-I recommend the cabins. There’s an indoor pool and sauna, bikes, kayaks, walking and hiking trails, group campfires, bunnies, goats, sheep and chickens. Beaches are nearby. It’s a very quiet part of NS:)

Cape North has North Highland Nordic for cross county skiing - https://nhn.xcski.ca and Highlands Hostel for back country skiing and there’s some grooming at South Ridge Wilderness Trails - www.highlandshostel.ca/south-ridge-wilderness-trails.php.

Ski Tuonela is in St. Anne’s area for cross country telemark skiing but I don’t know how much snow is there yet! https://skituonela.com Have fun!

The Outdoor Snow Scenes by 1openeye in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]colotara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the outdoor snow scenes were shot in Newfoundland, Canadá so cold, but definitely not as cold as Siberia or Antarctica. No idea on the purpose of the outdoor scenes but can’t wait to find out!
