We woke up and the weather was truly miserable. The rain was coming down pretty hard, some of the campground roads had large puddles right across them and we were so glad not to be in a tent. By the time breakfast was finished it had started to clear and we were ready to get on our way.

We continued on Hwy 138 and saw a lookout point near Les Escoumins that was right by the St. Laurence river with several other vehicles already parked. The rock formations were stunning and we both set out with our cameras to photograph them.

Our goal for today was to reach Baie-Comeau because tomorrow we will be taking the ferry from there to Matane, QC on the south side of the St. Laurence. As we were driving we were thinking about where we would like to stay for the evening – would it be Walmart, a campground or something else? Right then and there we found the perfect solution – a lovely municipal park right on the water with a boat launch and free camping spaces. We didn’t launch our kayak, but the clouds along the shore were a sight to see and photograph.

The rain returned and many of the visitors to the park vanished leaving us all to ourselves briefly, but soon after two more campers arrived and set up next to us for the night.

Dinner was three course affair, complete with the rest of the wine from the night before.
