We woke early to rain @ 16º. Poor Shadow did not get much of a walk around the campground. We left the campground at 7:40 and continued east on Hwy. 20, the TransCanada. Traffic was light going east and once we passed the cutoff to Quebec City, traffic was very light. The condition of the highway deteriorated drastically once we passed Lévis ... terrible pot holes,🕳🕳, frost heaves and cracks. The Sûreté Du Québec (provincial police) were on the job; we passed a few radar traps. Hopefully the speeding fines they were issuing will go towards road repairs!!
We made a short quick detour off the highway at a Tim's for Kathy, a pit stop at a rest area on the hwy and a longer stop at a nicer Halte Routière to have lunch. We eventually left the rain behind. We did not have enough gas to reach New Brunswick where gas is approximately 20¢ cheaper a litre so stopped in Trois Rivières for $50 @ $1.54.7 / litre. 😞
We crossed into New Brunswick around 2:00 where we lost an hour crossing into Atlantic time. We stopped in Edmundston to fill up @ $1.35.5 / litre and arrived at Camping Edmundston on the Iroquois River around 3:30. (We stayed at this campground on our trip east last summer.)

It was another good motoring day: 518 km. The rain caught up to us with intermittent showers in the evening. We did get in our walks though before the rain.☔
