Elm River NS to Parrsboro NS

After a good overnight stay at Elm River Park, we continued westerly along #2 highway stopping here and there, a short travel day.
Bass River was small active-looking place with several well-kept exhibits and (of course) some nice scenic shoreline:

 

Logging has been big in the area

 

Still some big logs around

The "Old Wharf Road" area

With a sign that offers "Dragon's Breath" cheese, how could we not stop?

It's a strong blue cheese, smells like dirty socks to some people, but tasty. I've never tasted dirty socks though...

 

The store has a wide selection of Dutch-based products:

Various types of Gouda

 

In an area called 5 Islands, we stopped at the Five Islands Lighthouse exhibit. This one has been moved several times since being built in 1913, almost 7km now from where it started. The last move was due to the sale of the original property rather than erosion, and the lighthouse is now set in a lovely picnicking area.

Tonight we're camped in a rustic campground near Parrsboro. It seemed like a good night for bacon and eggs for supper, cooked outside:

We came the other direction in this area a number of years ago. It seemed a much nicer drive today, with more of an effort to showcase the area.

We're getting a bit concerned about where we'll be able to stay over the upcoming holiday weekend. We might be back to PEI sooner than expected!
