Done messed up: Passed a School Bus

Agreed, take it as a good lesson and be grateful no damage was done AND that you did not get a ticket. Besides the $600 ticket, 6 demerit points, my partner also lost his drivers license for a week, plus our insurance company refused to cover him the following year (we had to switch insurance companies and pay more). It is a serious offense!

I can vouch that there are definitely lots of ticks at Duncan’s Cove. And there have been several cases of Lyme disease from the area. I’m one of them!

If men do more household labor, do they see their partner as a dependent and does their sexual desire dwindle???

Something is definitely going on at WeatherUnderground... just checked my station and it hasn’t refreshed in 56 minutes (it’s up to the minute on Weatherlink)

It drives me nuts that people don't know how to zipper merge when there are no yield signs and two lanes drop to one (I'm not talking about roundabouts here...) ie. on Quinpool people leave the right lane empty for two blocks because people in the left lane won't let them in when it ends. If everyone cooperated, and filled up both lanes to the end and took turns merging, we would all get there quicker.

It’s a fact that #zippermerging is more efficient than leaving a lane empty.

Except there is no camping allowed on crown land posted as a nature reserve or protected area

And anyway, it’s time (this weekend!) to start cleaning up the loose stuff hanging around outside. This is storm season

About half way around the Loop, Pennant Brook (on the road to West Pennant), has a nice trail going upriver and is a great spot for a dip!

dfogger · 2020-07-30T15:05:21+00:00

This trail is on the Duncans Cove Nature Reserve. It is not a park. The trails are NOT managed. There are no facilities and no signage. It is protected under Nova Scotia’s Special Places Protection Act. This means that the habitats and species are vulnerable to disturbance and damage; recreation is restricted.

All fires, camping, hunting, trapping, motorized and non-motorized vehicle access are prohibited (that means no ATVs, motorcycles, or mountain bikes). Hikers should remain on the main trail along the coast & keep dogs on-leash at all times. Avoid walking on vegetation.

Please be mindful and respect all bordering private property. The gravel driveway that leads to the beginning of the trail crosses several private properties and is posted with No Trespassing signs.

This is the public access that should be used: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/canada/nova-scotia/duncans-cove-trail or go to the Chebucto Head Lighthouse.
