Has anyone done, or is going to do, the Lighthouse Tour in Nova Scotia organized by Inmotion Events?

I was thinking (dreaming) about it...

Trip to Utah this summer swayed my plans... Don't want to drive 1,000 miles alone to Maine, so I may do this tour another year...

I did a Nova Scotia lighthouse tour a couple of years ago, but it was not run by Inmotion Events. The one that I did started in Maine and took a ferry over to Nova Scotia. It was not very well organized. Nova Scotia has a great coastline, if you can see it. There is a heavy fog that can persist all morning before finally burning off. If you go shift to a late start so that you don't have to cycing in the fog, missing all the scenery. Oh, and try the scallops, they were great.

I'll be doing the Bike Virginia tour that week, but the Lighthouse Tour sounds like fun. I'm doing the Maine Coastal Tour(Maine Wheels) in late July, and thought I might go over a week early, take the "cat" from Bar Harbor to N.S. and do some touring over there first. It's a long drive even from western NY state, so got to make it worth while. Anyway, have fun and hope the fog isn't too thick.
