La Haute-Gaspésie and la Cote-de-Gaspé

 It was a perfect day, clear and sunny to continue our drive east along the coast and farther up the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  But first we stopped in Ste-Anne-des-Monts for gas @ $1.89.9.

 We stopped at several scenic lookouts and villages with a Halte Municipale. Each had its own special touch. One had a park dedicated to veterans of the war in Afghanistan.

 Signage often warned of waves crashing onto the highway or              landslides onto the highway.

Lunch stop overlooking Grande-Vallée

The highway passed through Forillon National Park. We stopped at the Cap-Gaspé lighthouse and started to walk one of the park trails but turned back when we spotted a bear in the distance!

The park campgrounds were fully booked so we chose a campground as close to the park as possible for two nights:Camping Fort Ramsay, connected to a motel. We have a very nice site, full hookups overlooking Baie de Gaspé.

We drove 245 km through spectacular scenery. It was  Quebec's answer to Nova Scotia's Cabot Trail. It reached a very pleasant 24º.
