Camper home advantages - Today we drove from Rimouski, Quebec to Forillon National Park. Here’s another couple reasons we like pulling our camper home with us. We found a great lunch spot on the shore of the St. Lawrence Seaway. After we’d eaten our lunch, Andy took a nice nap in the camper and I sat by the shore reading and looking out at the sea.
A more practical reason we like our camper home, there were not many rest stops with potty’s, and the potty’s we spotted were pit toilets. Pretty nice to have our own bathroom.
We started the morning with another bike ride. We left the rest of the Walmart campers in the parking lot and headed to a city park (no overnight parking allowed so it wasn’t an option the night before). A nice bike trail started at the park and went, past some interesting city artwork, to the shore. We road the nice paved trail for about 5 miles out before heading back to the camper and getting on the road. The tide was out and the shore was teaming with sea birds taking advantage of the stranded sea creatures.
The drive to Forillon National Park was beautiful. The sea (St. Lawerence Seaway) was on our left. We started a little distance from the shore with rolling farms and wildflowers lining both sides of the road. Slowly the road got closer and closer to the sea and the farms were replaced with higher and higher hillls until we were traveling along a cliff next to the shore. We stopped a couple times to take in the views.
About an hour from the park the road turned inland again and became a winding mountain road with glimpses of the sea.
We have a nice wooded site. After getting settled and a camper dinner of grilled cheese and soup, we walked the short trail to the beach.
