Several months have passed since the last publication of our holiday trip (adventure) 2010. Our participation in the new forum www.lesnomadesenvr.com took all our time we attended a meeting with this group in October 2010 in Pierrefonds.
9-10-11
Then in October 2010 we were camping at Fort Island in Pierrefonds, www.iledufort.com in comfort "relative" of our rig. During this weekend, we found people we love and discovering new ones. This meeting closed the season trailer for the majority of participants but not for others preparing to leave Quebec winter destinations for the endless summer. Although this seems to contradict the year 2010-2011 under normal weather conditions confirming the continued appreciation by environmentalists to provide a warming of the planet shattering all known concepts for hundreds of years. At the time of writing (January 11, 2011) a winter storm neutralized three South American countries. New Orleans, Alabama and Georgia, whose governors have declared states of emergency. Also, Massachusetts is entitled to a winter storm leaving, according to forecasts, 15 inches of snow for January 12, 2011. And we, here in Quebec, the thermometer hovering around -3 and -5 of the day with the sun wall to wall.
But ... back in July 2010.
Thus, Monday, July 26, 2010, we stopped at St-Roch des Aulnaies back of the church, the first step of our annual pilgrimage to "boondocking" facing the St. Lawrence River. We appreciate this place yet accepted our decision-sleeping, hoping that this privilege will be granted is a long time. As these areas become known by all travelers advocating freedom RV and tolerant line is low, it takes a little so that we can not have access to places "still" possible. The etiquette and implementation of a code of ethics is in order to maintain this privilege.
We left early Tuesday morning for Ste-Flavie. Of course we take the road from village to village 132défilant stopping smoking in St. Andre de Kamouraska, The Smokehouse, discovering the methods of curing and smoking of different species of fish and seafood of this establishment renowned for the quality of its marine products. We can also visit the smokehouse and enjoy specialties the house. Harton Marius, the owner, originally from the Gaspé smoked fish for over 20 years. Specialties artisan producer are composed of fifteen smoked fish. The Smokehouse is a restaurant where the fish are smoked in the spotlight. Sturgeon, herring, eel, salmon, squid, cod, turbot, trout, rainbow sky, mackerel, etc.. Herring and sturgeon from the region and salmon in New Brunswick. The traditional methods of curing and smoking process called dry brining fish has been surfaced with stone ground sea salt and herbs organic locally grown and smoked with maple wood, Plum and apple flavored water of life. We take this opportunity to buy their cookbook.
We continue our journey to the dock Cacouna become prohibited since our last visit. We had to park the Prevost in the entrance to a business that offers a view of the dock and the river to eat before embarking on our journey to Ste-Flavie. The sun and heat were the appointment again. The dogs took the opportunity to stretch and let their drops as a signature of their passage. You will understand that the "droppings" are collected and placed in an airtight container stored in the trunk housing the water tanks black and gray.
Route 132 gives us always a pleasure each time. It never gets tired. Rocks of Kamouraska, villages along the coast. Sometimes the river, sometimes plain, we finally arrive at the top of the Bic suggesting a spectacular view of the opening of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Already you can smell the kelp specific to the Gaspe peninsula gives me all the energy lost in the preceding months.
We arrive late afternoon in Ste-Flavie, camping Captain Lobster, to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the nearby water. We are entitled to a beautiful sunset feature of this place. I am not without recalling that in November 2010, after our visit, strong sea storms and wind swept coast, flooding and destroying many homes and land. I hope the camping was not too damaged by the storms. Despite its proximity to Highway 132 we like to stop and rest. Few offers camping near the water at the point to say "get your feet in water" ... Unfortunately we have no photos of this ruling. I think it will be put to work the next times and set on film rather than in our memory what we offer fantastic scenery of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Tomorrow, the rain, we leave for New Bruiswick across the Matapédia Valley.
