In Motion Lighthouse Tour

Have any of you taken the Lighthouse Tour offered by In Motion? It
leaves via ferry from Portland Maine and then takes about 7 days around
Nova Scotia. My wife and I are considering taking the tour in 2007.

The other posts I've found date from when the Can Am wheelers ran the
event. I wondered if it was still run under what appears to be a change
in management? I am very interested to hear about your impressions and
experiences about this ride.

Thanks in advance for your reply,
Matt

Is this the ride you are asking about?:

In Aug 2006, I met the group twice- I was doing the same route
in reverse. I just saw them coming out of Yarmouth, as I was coming in.
Several days later I was camping at the same campground near Middleton and
talked to several of them. It was a very impressive group. They
had a "tent city" with numbered "streets", even a trailer with
their own showers. By 8 AM all their tents were packed and they
were ready to roll.

It also solved the mystery of the "Dan Henrys" I've seen
around Nova Scotia in the last few years. They had painted new ones
in the spring of 2006.

That's the one. Thanks for the post. Sounds like fun, either with the
tour on on your own. Did you get a set of route maps somewhere or make
up you own?

Thanks!
