Re: [Biofuel] way off topic
Bob, One of the best places to check out the tides is the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick. If you can't make it there, then the tidal bore in Truro is O.K (/Heresy a little dull really /heresy). Myself, I loved the waterfront in Halifax. The Marine Museum of the Atlantic had some interesting exhibits, particularly about the Titanic and the Halifax Explosion. If you are lucky there may be some tall ships in town as well.

Re: [Biofuel] way off topic
Hi Bob, I'm kinda new at it too. I just booked a trip for the last two weeks of July. I don't suppose you did a search at http://novascotia.com/en/home/default.aspx. It has a descent search engine and helped me decide where to go. Good luck! -Redler bob allen wrote: anybody from Nova Scotia?

Re: [Biofuel] way off topic
I plan to be in N.S. end of the month and into July. Both my parents are bluenosers. It's been a while since I've had a good visit, so I can't guarantee everything is still the way I remember. If you are near Truro and like ice cream or related products, find the Fundy Dairy Bar. Puts Baskin-Robbins 31 flavours to shame. Find some Stan Rogers tunes to play in the car, especially Barrett's Privateers and Rawden Hills. My cassettes plain wore out - I'll be looking for CDs this trip. Definitely tour the Citadel and other historic sights in Halifax. Find time to visit Prince Edward Island. I like the Woods Island Ferry from Pictou, but the bridge to New Brunswick is also something to see. The dunes off Cavendish Beach are quite something. Near Pictou is the Balmoral grist mill, IIRC. Used to have demonstrations of the working mill, and you could buy stone ground flour they milled there. Also working steam equipment on the same site. Not open every day, so you need to schedule around this one. If you are in the Annapolis Valley, try scallops in Digby, visit Fort Anne at Annapolis Royal, follow the Evangeline Trail and check out the Fundy tides. Cape Blomedin is spectacular, and you need to learn about Glooscap while there. Acadian cultural history, dikes, salt marshes. Oh, Louisberg - must see!! If you venture into Cape Breton, make sure you visit the A.G. Bell museum at Baddeck - much more than the telephone. Lake Bras d'Or at sunset - I'll never forget that sight from the Cabot Trail. Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove, both attractive, but touristy now IMO. If there are any gatherings of clans or massed pipes playing, try to take them in. So much more. Visit the Tourist Information offices in each area, they'll treat you well. Shift your life-speed down a gear, and enjoy! Darryl bob allen wrote: anybody from Nova Scotia?
