"So far north, yet only halfway" Top 5 Page for this destination Halifax Off The Beaten Path Tip by PA2AKgirl

Considering where most of the population lives in North America, it's hard to believe you have to travel all the way to Nova Scotia to be "halfway between the Equator and the North Pole". But you do. A town called Stewiacke (between Truro and Halifax) holds the title as being on the exact spot in the middle of the 2. Bobby and I were both very interested in this place--geographically it's significant to be here. So, we stopped off here and got a picture. It's a cute little town--what we saw of it--with a nice visitors center and a great place for a photo opportunity. Bobby wasn't expecting this particular one, but it's a good shot of him anyway. What a cutie;-)

Unfortunately, as I was looking this place up online, I found there is a giant statue of a Mastodon in a field here as well. I'm deeply saddened we missed it. I never thought a place could have 2 great roadside attractions (never in my wildest dreams did I think such a place existed)...but we'll get that when we return.
