Corney Brook, Cape Breton

Three glorious days on that distant island of Cape Breton. CB had previously seemed to me sort of a dirty incoherent place, rugged but not a beautiful rugged like Newfoundland.

But being there this time, it was all glorious. We camped in a small campground within the Highlands National Park called "Corney Brook". Our site was within 50 feet from the pounding surf of the Atlantic. Here is a picture of our set up.
