Day 29 - Across New Brunswick


We left Kouchibouguac and drove to Miramichi. This area is as beautiful as its reputation. We turned inland and followed a secondary road, #108 to the Trans Canada Highway on other side of the province. Highway 108 is not a tourist highway. It is very rough in areas. But except for a few logging trucks there isn't much traffic. There are no communities or homes for most of its length.

Although we caught glimpses of mountains and fall colours through gaps in the forest for the most part we drove through a tunnel of trees.

The campground where we expected to stay was unexpectedly closed as where several others in the area. After several phone calls we found an open one near Edmundston. We eventually arrived at Camping Panoramic. It's further than we intended to go but it puts us within 10 or 11 hours of home. Many of the camp sites are seasonal with trailers apparently on them year round. We were the only transients. We self registered and never saw anyone.
