Directions to Mabou

I just copied these from MapQuest (search Halifax, NS to Mabou, NS):

1. Get on the MacDonald Bridge towards Dartmouth.
2. ANGUS L MACDONALD BRIDGE becomes NANTUCKET AVE. 0.2 miles
3. Turn LEFT onto VICTORIA RD / HWY-322. 0.3 miles
4. Turn RIGHT onto WOODLAND AVE / PROVINCIAL ROUTE 118 N. Continue to follow PROVINCIAL ROUTE 118 N. 9.9 miles
5. Take the HWY-102 N exit toward AIRPORT. 0.1 miles
6. Merge onto PROVINCIAL ROUTE 102 N. 46.2 miles
7. Merge onto PROVINCIAL ROUTE 104 E / TRANS CANADA HWY E toward CAPE BRETON. 104.7 miles
8. Enter next roundabout and take 2nd exit onto PROVINCIAL SECONDARY ROUTE 19 N. 27.6 miles
9. Go STRAIGHT. 0.5 miles
10. Stay STRAIGHT to go onto PROVINCIAL SECONDARY ROUTE 19. 8.1 miles
11. End at Mabou, NS CA

Now, the hard part. Stay on Highway 19. You have to drive all the way through Mabou, towards Inverness. You will pass the Shrine on the right side, drive over a small bridge, go up a long hill, pass the Red Shoe, drive for 2 or 3 more minutes. The highway levels off and curves to the left. Go slow! You'll see a blue cottage on the right, which is my parents' place (see pic). Turn right down the dirt road.

If you reach Glenora Falls, you've gone too far. Geoff's cell number is 902.951.0339 in case you get lost. We'll try to erect a proper marker once we get down there.

xo Carla.
