Have not posted a mini run for a bit. We went up from Digby on all older roads starting with number 1 route in Valley, Rawdon Hills to Truro then on number 2 and 4 past Oxford to the number 6 at Pugwash and down to New Glasgow. Stayed the night and left for Antigonish in the morning to start the number 7. Whole idea was to do our first run on the number 7 starting at the other end. This way we avoid 2.5 hours getting to and from the 7 in one day from home. The roads (6 and 7) were actually in good shape. Planned a couple of spots to stop. Look forward to some spots others go to. Here are a couple I found interesting. Street view links in titles.
Silo 15 minutes west of Tatamagouche on Route 6. 10 minutes past our gas stop in the last run we did.
MacDonald Mill on Sonara Road just outside Sherbrooke Village
Rusty Boat (not in 2009 street view image) at Hawbolt Cove
Rapids in Sheet Harbour taken from end of ElmHurst Drive where you can park by them.
Oh and on the run broke the 100,000 km point. Woot!

6.6 is a distance memory for me . That's impressive. Even if my car could get there, not sure my foot would ever let it happen

We went for a run Wednesday from Charlottetown to Summerside along the coast.As I had to pick some things up I took my other GT.(Mazda 6 GT).The prepaid Visa I won in Amherst paid the bridge fee.Thanks guys!The weather was beautiful.Will be back with the Mustang GT on the run.

Well I can confirm that the Fundy trail is Mustang friendly now.
Drove it today and the chip seal is all compacted and safe.
No loose rocks anymore.
Although I would still avoid the 114 from Fundy to Riverview/Moncton.
Still some construction zones and a couple close to Riverview had loose gravel, potholed and downhill in and uphill out.
Not good.
Too bad, cause the ones further down were Mustang friendly.
Alternating traffic but paved.
They had a lot of water damage all along that highway since last year.
Drove it in the Edge ST.
Goes good in those back road twisties and hills.

Well with two great driving days this weekend staying home was not an option. Saturday headed out to Charlottetown for supper at the Gahan House and did not disappoint. Watched Canada win the IIHF Gold hockey game in what looked like Finland making a last minute come back but our group held on for an overtime win. I bet the players who decided their NHL training camps were more important are thinking hard about not participating.
Sunday there was a show at the Summerside Airport to support a local group. Good variety of vehicles. First time there and I like the area. Here are some shots of the Mustangs on site. There were other cool Fords there too and I drop them into their respective threads later.
Now I am looking forward to the fall run even more after the pre-scout. Hope the weather holds. If not there is still the Gahan House.
Three for one shot.
And to prove I was actually there but left before roasting in 32 degrees...
Bonus. This little guy followed us around. Looked suspicious.

I tried to make that show, but couldn't make it happen. Some awesome looking Mustangs were there
