So you’ve never been to Cape Breton AKA “Canada’s West Virginia”? The big industries were coal and steel. The mine and mill closed long ago. There is not much left to ravage.
Ages ago I spent a summer camping in Maine and the Martimes. West coast of Cape Breton was my favorite spot. Wild, beautiful, and sparsely populated. Bras D’Or as well.
Tiny fishing village on west coast provided fresh caught lobster right at dockside for embarassingly low prices.
Too bad chronic unwmployment has been in two digits forever. Teen alcoholism and drug use has been rampant as well.
The Anitgonish Highland Games may have the largest concentration of redheads in this hemisphere. Startling at first view. ;>)
