Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Yup, that`s our eastern shore facing the open Atlantic, lots of important lighthouses along that side of the province. Not so important any more since other navigation devices have taken over, much hoopla each time one of them come up for demolition or redundancy. The #7 highway that winds along the coast is most often referred to as the, Marine Drive, the pavement takes a lot of beating from the elements so it depends on how long its been down/paved, older it gets the rougher it is.

Marine Drive......that's it. Fortunately the first bike trip up that highway.....probably recently paved back then.....the second time I must have been on the other end of the paving timeline!! It was wicked rough and the old pan was loaded real heavy for a 2-3 week road trip with two up....camping gear, spare parts, tools and clothing for every type of weather. Took some heavy hits a couple times. Very nice drive when the roads are in good condition.

Robin or Jerry......anybody ever call it Ile Royale anymore!

I got the right place don't I?

 

[pioneerguy600]

Montreal? Or the big island in Lake Superior?

 

[Stihl 041S]

The island east of PEI.

 

[pioneerguy600]

Isle de Madeleine? or as the English pronounce it, Magdalen Islands.
I have never heard it called Ile Royal but anything could be possible.

I may be wrong but I think he is saying Isle Royale is what the early French settlers called Cape Breton........

Ok, yeah that makes sense , just never heard of Cape Breton being called Isle Royal either. That name or term seemed to get kicked around a lot by the early settlers. As much as I have traveled the Cape I never heard of it being referred to as Royal, strange that!

 

[pioneerguy600]

Checked a little history on the cape and indeed it was called Isle Royal back before 1755, after the signing of a treaty between the English and the French that name was dropped and all of mainland and the island became known Nova Scotia.

Just finished the book on Acadian history.
Got to get it to robin so he can smuggle it into Nadia......

I've run a few models of Stihl. I only own one however, a frankensteined 041-av. I'm quite partial to it. I like my Husqvarna 55 and 372xp. But after talking to a rep and using a saw at a demo the other day, I'm pretty impressed with Echo. I think the CS-590 was a little heavy for it's size, but the price tag and 5 year warranty make up for that.

Just made myself a target from stihl, husky and echo lovers come out swinging boys! lol
