T --- I can concur with the Cape Breton comparison. As a young lad (11, I think), I was fortunate enough to take the Bluenose from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth NS, go Halifax, and then take the trip around the Cabot Trail, which in those days was a gravel road. The hills as I remember them were like the Belknaps and Sandwich mts, not huge, but mountains none the less, and remember my parents saying that it reminded them of NH!

My heritage is Scottish, and my relatives who immigrated from Scotland also compared NH and particularly the Lakes Region with Scotland.

The remembrances of our parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles...a shame we didn't have the digital cameras back then. So much may have been lost in memories.

Thanks for your comments.
