Monday, August 20, 2018 (Travel to RV Camping, Restigouche River, Campbellton, New Brunswick)

We pulled out of Nature Ocean Chalets and Camping at 9:45 and continued our travel along highway 132. Just past the campground helicopter rides are available. It was a beautiful day to be on the road...

Now that's a big load! An blade for a wind turbine...

Very cute....

Riviere Grande (Grand River)...

Petit-Pabos Bay...

Railway crossing the entrance to Petit-Pabos Bay....

Vachon Lake....

Riviere Grand du Pabos ...

Port Daniel...

Municipality of Port-Daniel-Gascons....(city hall, visitors centre, library)...cool looking building...

Entering Hope Town...The Barachois...
A barachois is a term used in Atlantic Canada and Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Mauritius Island to describe a coastal lagoon partially or totally separated from the ocean by a sand or shingle bar. Salt water may enter the barachois during high tide.

Field of beautiful wildflowers....

Bonaventure River...

Bonaventure Tourist Office...

Catholic Church of Saint Bonaventure...

We have found that the folks back east here really like their lawns...Steve figures a good business to be in here would be selling and servicing riding lawn mowers. We've passed so many homes with acres of meticulously manicured lawns much larger than this...

As we've mentioned before, there are not many spots for a big rig to pull off along this highway so we've been forced to seek out shopping centre and church parking lots. Lunch time in front of the Catholic Church of Saint-Siméon-de-Bonaventure.

Approaching New Richmond...

Cascapedia River...looks like a nice RV park along the riverside...

Carleton-sur-mer...

Another lover of a large lawn...

Bird houses...

No time to stop for a brew...

Beautiful yard...

Nouvelle River...

Goodbye Quebec...crossing the Restigouche River into Campbellton, New Brunswick...(we also crossed another time zone...we are now on Atlantic Time, loosing an hour. That's 4 hours ahead of our BC time)...

Our destination on the upper right...RV Camping, Campbellton, a municipal campground....

The bridge we just came over...

We stopped to register and were greeted with very friendly folks. This is a very nice building with an interpretive centre, boutique and restaurant...we'll have to come back and check it out another time.

We made our way to our site #51, a full hook-up site with 30 amp power, and levelled off, unhitched and got set up. The campground is right on the river with a lovely walkway all along the waterfront. It not very busy here right now...lots of empty sites...

After our work was done, we set the chairs up and enjoyed the view....
