Default Wharf Rat Rally 2011 Thread

Is it worth a 2,000 mile ride round trip to Digby, Nova Scotia?

Warrentrg,
What route do you take from Halifax to Digby?
I'm beginning to think I'll spend a week touring Nova Scotia just for the ride away from work, & use the rally as an off the bike rest day.
Can anyone recommend an inexpensive, biker friendly motel/hotel in NS to use as a base camp?
