Just a short update on our travels. From du Bic, a nice park with a bad campground, guess they all can't be winners, we traveled the coast of the Gaspe peninsula to Forillon. We spent four nights and 3 beautiful days in Forillon. We sat on the rocky beach, watched the full moon come up over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. We hiked out to the Cape Gaspe lighthouse. I swear the hike was uphill both ways, impossible I know. It was about 5 miles round trip, but well worth the trek. We also did a shorter hike to a water fall, which was down a bunch of stairs and then back up. Our legs are getting a work out. Wednesday Aug 13th was a very long day in the car. We are now in New Brunswick at Kouchibouguac National Park. (Quite a mouthful.) The beach here claims to be the warmest water north of Virginia. But it was windy and cool here today and the water temp and air temp were both 64. We have done several short treks through the salt marsh, cedar grove and a beaver trail. All trails here are pretty flat so easy hiking. We leave here on Saturday to go to PEI. We will spend four days there. Canada has so far exceeded our expectations on their national parks. And in this park we even have wifi at the campsite. Weak but it is a signal. We are having a great time.
