One more visit with our friend Michael Wilson and his mom before heading out of New Brunswick.
The bridge from Cambellton, NB to the Gaspe Peninsula.
Camping on Chaleur Bay's North shore. with Lobster fishing in full swing.
Perce Rock
That hill in the background was a 14% climb in spots. There's lots of this at the tip of the Peninsula.
In Forillon National Park we had a couple of awesome hikes.
489 steps on this hike.
Tons of cod fishing history here from the mid 1700's
Gaspe's coast is full of scenes like this.
We watched whales for 10 minutes at this fairly tight section of road, and having left the lights on, the truck was dead. Jake and I stood with the loose ends of the jumper cables hoping to tug at the heart strings of passers by. Within 4 minutes Don stopped to help. He had taken off from our campsite this morning 1hour ahead of us. We must have passed him while he was kayaking. We charged his camera battery in the trailer last night and thought we'd never see him again. That was a cool little appointment with destiny.
Sunset at Cap Chat.
We celebrated 11 months on the road with french dinner out. The food was far better than our french.
Now it's heading through Quebec City and on to Ottawa.

Looking like a lot of fun you guys! You've seen so many beautiful and memorable things along your journey. I trust they will be impacting for your whole life. I've got some things to ask you though: "How will life in BC be different now that you've seen so much of our Continent?"

Hello dear family-adventurer's,
ReplyDeleteI hope all is going continously well for you. I am fairly close to your home town right now, sitting in a coffee in Dawson Creek, Alberta. I'spend the weekend here as I will have to get new tires on Monday (on order) before heading North. Sure a wonderful country you are living in. BC's so beautiful.
Hope all is well. Happy trails...
...see you some day.
Best wishes,
thomas
