We left Pictou this morning in light drizzle but an hour later when we got to Truro, NS the skies were clearing and it promised to be a nice afternoon. We had decided to spend the afternoon around Truro to observe the Tidal bore at 4:11PM in the nearby Salmon River.In Truro we parked in a Scoby's lot, unhooked the CRV, and headed north 50 miles to Springhill, NS, a small town on the Nova Scotia peninsula known as a mining town and the home of Canadian country music star Anne Murray. We have been fans for decades and decided this was as close as we would get to the exhibit.
It took an hour or so to stroll through the story of Anne's life and career and helped pass the time before returning to Truro. We arrived back in time to hook up the m/h and drive the short distance to the observation point just west of the city.
A Tidal Bore is a wave created when the surge of an incoming tide is channeled into a narrower channel and meets the outflow of the river. 
This wave or bore floods the channel with thousands of gallons of water in a very short time.
We left Truro to drive south to Peggy's Cove and the King Neptune CG, a tranquil spot just west of Halifax on St Margaret's bay. It was a beautiful evening with a red sunset across the bay.We will spend tomorrow seeing Halifax.
