You are indeed off the beaten track !!
Most people from this group who will be coming to NS will be on
the main highways unless they have more that a couple of weeks.
I will say, from personal experience, and from what I have heard
from others this summer, that our roads are no worse than
anywhere else !! One has to be certain that one is comparing
apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
To suggest the above route is one that might be taken by the
average GMC traveller just ain't so.

My Rand McNally, "Interstate Highways Map of the United States"
suggests the route you mention as the equal to a "Connecting
State" or "Provincial" highway and is a long way from commonly
used highways.

These happen anywhere where there is winter freezing and I doubt
that Nova Scotia has a patent on them.

We all enjoy your stories, but the impression left is that of a trip to
Alaska......and here I don't know of what I speak, because I've
never been there .....yet !! But last year, I travelled through 35
states and 5 provinces.

Quiet correct Mr. Beaton.. Like I said, most of the main roads and the twined highways are really good.. The Economy Shore and/or the New Ross Road are what they are - great views, bad highways..

Perhaps I was unclear, so please subscribers should know we are taking our elephant into the wild parts up here.. Which is actually why we bought it - We very much want to treat it as a big Westfalia and hoped you folks would appreciate the tale..

Mostly, I'm wondering about that shoulder driving stuff as it came as quite a surprise when it happened.. Any advise guys?.. Other than stay off the County Roads?..

There are solutions or so I am told. There are some kind of rails that
keep the swing arms in line and I guess the 4 bag air spring also helps
achieve that goal.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? Do I know what I am talking
about???
