Another great adventure!! I love the ride around Cape Brenton and the Cabot Trail. I made that trip just 2 days after finally getting my trike. I took the ferry from Portland ME to Yarmouth and made the long drive up the east coast of NS to Beddeck. Spent two nights there while riding all day. Road back to NH via New Brunswick Canada, Maine....
Can't wait to go back after I retire!!!

Kevin, looks like an amazing trip! Great pictures and travel conversations.
After watching the loading/unloading video, a question has come to mind. When the trike is loaded in the trailer..while intransit for example...how do you get to the front of the trailer - to the kitchen/bath and bed? If I remember correctly, (and that's taking a big leap of faith!:blush the entry door of the trailer is in the back, so you'd have to climb over the trike?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Really enjoying the Canada adventure.

Kevin, I also have a goldwing trike and a Harley ultra limited. Can you make a attempt to describe the difference in traveling on each, and which you prefer on trips.
Thanks for the reply. I agree with you on the points you stated. I am just not good at putting it into words. I enjoy 2 wheels and will still take some trips on the ultra. But I am also more relaxed on 3 wheels. Having a short inseam and I have issues with my back more often than not, sometimes I just can't get my leg over the bike. I have found I can get on the bike from the right side using the passenger floor board as a step when my back is to tight. As you stated ,the trike is much easier to get on. I am a little younger ,at 54 and wife will soon be 55, we both find the trike easier to get on. I find that being shorter, I am always afraid of my foot slipping when in loose gravel and sand ,resulting in dropping the bike. I have not done that in several years,but the worry is always there. I can park the trike just about anywhere without a problem,and prefer the trike in traffic. I like the seating position on the ultra,but my wife is much more comfortable on the wing ,trike or not. We tend to take the trike on trips more than the bike,and I have noiticed this more this year, than years past.
Have to agree with what you said about the differences. Git the Trike last September and Took it to Sturgis this year... We pull a Bushetc trailer too, and the trike makes it much easier getting around with the trailer in the campgrounds.. We noticed too that we were not nearly as tired after 550 mile first day out. or and of the other days. I'm 66 she wont let me say how young she is LOL... I also noticed people waited for the trike, where they would pull out in front of the Ultra. After the lift and the shocks and some engine tweeks, it rides and runs pretty good.
Its not quite as much fun In Spearfish Canyon, but We went through Custer park and up to Spearfish. and It did great in the corners... I was pulling away from the "kids" in the corners like I did on two...
I have a 16X7 enclosed trailer for the RZR and set up some for camping... Got it all wired up from old camper parts, looking into roof AC for it. found used, rebuilt for $275. Thinking about taking it across Iowa and Minnesota, and most of SD and setting it as a base camp like you did. Do the hills and out to Yellowstone and Bear Tooth, then come back load up and do the boring drive back home ....
Only so many ways out to the hills and in 27 years we've hit them all... We both love Marys pictures...
Very nice. Beautiful. As a Christian,I can't help but see Gods power through his creation
