Brown is for Bumpy







We took highway 108 from Doaktown to Edmunston. It was a more direct path and was at least 100 km shorter than going back to Fredericton or on to Miramichi. Uh, yeah. A word to the wise: roads that are brown on the map are not meant for tour bikes. We might have saved 100 km, but we certainly didn’t save time or wear-and-tear.

It had been sunny all day that Friday as we traveled, but as we neared Quebec City a storm blew in from nowhere and we took the opportunity to pull over and sort through the tourist guides and maps to find a campsite. We stayed in St. Nicolas just south of Quebec City.
We want to be in Ottawa for church Sunday, which means we don’t have time to waste on rain storms. As I listen to the rain pelt the camper all night I wonder how fun our Montreal drive-by is going to be this time.
