Day 64

Thursday, August 26th
Campbellton to Petit Rocher
98km

Short day today with a big hill in the middle.

We stopped at a Tim Hortons less then a km from camp.  They sure got a lot of business from us on this trip.  I should write to them to see if we could be in a commercial.  That would probably be go for a free timbit or two.

Dalhousie was 30km from camp, and featured a 450m climb with a 13% grade.  That is definitely enough to get your heart going...but it wasn't too bad in the end.

After the climb, our route followed the coast of Chaleur Bay, which was very scenic.  The symmetric ripples stretched all the way to the horizon.

There was some comic relief when we stopped at a small engine repair shop to eat some sandwiches.  Rosalyn almost “used” one of the port-a-potties at the side of the building...which the store kept there to be rented out.  Alas, she figured it out before any real damage was done.
