The plan was to cross into Canada at Fort Kent with a destination of du Bic National Parc but apparently dogs are not allowed in any of the provincial parks in Quebec. Slight oversight on my part! Considering the number of folks that travel with dogs, this is a bit short sighted and thankfully not the case in New Brunswick, PEI or Nova Scotia. For now we will to stick to commercial campgrounds until we get to Forillon National Park on the eastern end of Gaspe but if tonight's stop at Hotel Metis is an example, this will not be too much of a hardship.
We diverted along the St. John River, cleared customs at Madawaska and took a scenic drive through the country along the Route des Monts Nortre-Dame stopping at several spots including the Pointe-au-Pere Lighthouse. Tomorrow the Reford Gardens and further east.
