Forillon to Campbellton NB via Gaspe

Happy 45th anniversary to us! Sunny and 16C at 8:15 am.

Today we carried on around the Gaspe, to the town of Perce and the famous rock. The town was a real disappointment today, with the main street ripped up, lots of construction, and no views of the rock. It wasn’t until we got through the town that there was a lookout spot to see the actual rock:

There are several cgs in Perce, and of course boat tours out around the rock. At 9:30 am it was too early to camp, and we decided to not do a tour since the town was quite difficult to navigate. Very disappointing!

So we carried on, picking up some groceries in a nice IGA in Grande Riviere. It was up to 19C by 11:30 am. Again a nice drive, all along the Quebec side of the Baie De Chaleurs. It’s a pretty large body of water when it’s right beside you.

We went right on into Campbellton NB and camped at Sugarloaf Prov Park for the night. Sunny and 22C at 4:30 pm, a gorgeous day.
Sugarloaf is a recreation area right on the edge of Campbellton, and the facilities include a nice restaurant, so we had an anniversary dinner there: a mussel appetizer, then we both had the special, beef kabobs on rice.

We were able to get free wifi at the park signin building, so caught up on emails. Yep, we sure do know how to have a good time! lol
