Again, 48F in the morning.
From the park in the middle of the Gaspe peninsula we drove south to the shore of Chaleur Bay, which separates Quebec from New Brunswick. Someday we'll drive out and around the end of the Gaspe but not this time; can't do everything. I remembered that 45 years ago there was a ferry across the bay, but it has been discontinued and I was embarassed to ask how long ago that happened. So we drove along the north side of the bay until were able to cross a bridge at Campbellton, where the bay narrows to a river. Now in New Brunswick, we stopped at a tourist info center and got good maps and guides which will help us in this province. We continued a short distance to Black Point, on the south shore of the bay, and checked into a mom-and-pop campground. To our surprise, we got a campsite right on the beach and even have electric and water service on the site. Most of the people here are locals who have set up RV campsites and will stay for the whole season. The weather is good, but the forecast is for a storm starting about midnight and lasting all night and most of tomorrow, so we plan to stay here until Tuesday, when the weather should be better.
We are now in the Atlantic time zone, one hour later than Eastern time.
