Fascinating adventure/story! and you wrote it in a way that i almost felt that I am there, sitting on the log in the darkness... Your story is an inspiration for me to visit Halifax for sure, though whenever my circumstances will allow it.
Most of the highway was finished in 1971... so Scott may have made a wrong turn hereWe were there way before it went in? 1976.. Either that or we knew nothing and took a side roadScott made the decision not me
I edited my response to you.. not sure why we went that way. We may have been told it was a shorter route.. but that night is fixed in my memoryMost of the highway was finished in 1971... so Scott may have made a wrong turn here
Skaters enjoy!! It is a piece of Heaven up there
yeah.. i bet this adventure is one of those not to ever be forgotten. Glad it was in September and not during the winter
thanks for sharing your story. It brought back to me so many similar stories of traveling in Canada while in winter which is not something easy 
Not to mention that Saint John is in New Brunswick not Nova Scotia. If you drove across NS from Halifax you’d end up on the wrong side of the Bay of Fundy. To get to NB you have to travel on the two largest roads in NS (one of which is the TransCanada, both roads paved since long before I was born in 1958) and cross over to NB just north of Amherst; only way is by car. Then an endless 3 hr drive on the TransCanada to Saint John… We are even more civilized today with divided highways on both roads!

Tomorrow they stick me in a torpedo tube for 45 min and bang on the outside and take pics of my prostate.....I am gonna tell them I have to pee at 15 min and poop at 30. 
Lots of nice roads in Nova scotia
They aren't being streamed. Skate Canada streamed them on Dailymotion last season with commentary from Kaitlyn Weaver, Kirsten Moore Towers, Kevin Reynolds and Kaetlyn Osmond. But they confirmed on Twitter they aren't this season.I don't see any tiles for practice sessions on Peacock
I’m sorry, no they weren’t. IIRC, they were only aired on Peacock for US based comps last year.
To this day, we have long closures on the main road from Penticton (and points south) to Kelowna (and points north) due to landslides. If there is no local detour, the main detour route is on the other side of the lake on an unpaved logging road! Fortunately it is wide and well graded. When it is called into use, they sign the route, grade it frequently and put control people on it to prevent large trucks from using it and tearing it up.
The TC through BC is not only not all divided to this day, but is still 2-lane in places. But they're working on it!
I definately watched them for a majority of the competitions last year so had to be youtube/peacock.
