QUEBEC

We just got back from a Caraven trip through Quebec. There were 10 RV's in total. We left home and drove to North Gower near Ottawa where we hooked up with 6 units then on to Quebec City and met up with the rest. While at North Gower Mrs. and I went for a Quick visit with Thomas and Megan at their new house.

Next day we set off for Quebec City at a KOA. We spent 3 nights there then up through central QC to Lac St. Jean, up the north side of St. Lawrence to Baie Comeau, took the Ferry across to the South shore then up to Gaspe down the coast to Carlton Sur Mer, where we went our various ways. We and 2 others drove down the south side of St. Lawrence back to the KOA at Quebec City then we drove to visit Woolfreys on our way home. We were away for about 1 month.

We had no problems with language because we had 3 who spoke Frence, though sometimes there were times when I had to struggle with some on my own.

The rivers are amazing there, almost every one is flowing over rock so they are clear and fast with many large spectacular water falls on them. While at Lac St. Jean the sky had some smoke from the forest fires to the Ouest. We took several boat cruises on lakes, rivers and ocean.

We visited a Zoo were we rode through it in little caged trains where we saw a Mother Bear with 3 cubs and later saw a big male wondering free. At one point we encountered them again and as the male approached, she sent the cubs up a tree. They also had many other animals in hugh open compounds, but the bear encounter was the highlite.

It was a great trip and I would like to go back to some parts again---SOON.

I think Quebec is one of the great Canadian treasurers. You can have a foreign country experience without having to show your passport once.
