Le Québec très Français!

Traveled along Lake Superior shores after leaving Thunder Bay. Stayed near Wawa for the night in a small RV park on the edge of some of the native Boreal forests. Very dense and dark. In the morning decided to get off the main drag around the lake and cut across to Quebec province on highway 101. The map made this area look very desolate but it was not too bad. We spent the night ( Happy Canada Day)at a small municipal park near the Quebec border. Trailer Life RV guide does not list many campgrounds in the area but I think that is because it increasing becomes more French as you cross into Quebec and they just are not listed. Continued on highway 117 through the Réserve faunique La Vérendrye This area is bit rural and make sure you fill up at a Gaz-Bar (that's French for gas station) before crossing the park.

We decided to skip Montreal and head straight to Quebec. The whole time we were in Canada I was on moose watch. They certainly have enough signs telling you watch out for them. Each province has it's own version of moose on the loose road sign too. Some are charging and others are sauntering, regardless in all the rural areas we were traveling, I only caught a fast glimpse of one along the road. That is until we were on the crowded expressway between Montreal and Quebec where we saw two of them contemplating crossing the road. They took one look at the Biff and thought better. Good thing because they were huge and could cause some serious damage!

Stayed on the south side of the St.Lawrence river in the small town Levis. This part of Canada does RV'ing differently then the rest of the world. Many of the locals go to the same RV park every weekend and have quite elaborate setups. It is more like their summer lake cottage as opposed actually traveling in the RV. So get a reservation if you plan on staying over a weekend because they do fill them up. The RV park was packed and off the expressway so quite noisy. It did clear out nicely by Monday morning. .
We spent our 7th wedding anniversary (July 5) in Quebec. Levis has a ferry that crosses the river into Old Quebec It as about $6.00 round trip and runs every half hour through most of the day (5:00 Am till 2:00 AM the next day). It takes you directly into a very quaint and beautiful area of Quebec city. Lot's of pretty cafes, the river front, and touristy type shops. Très romantique!

Jack and I took guided tour in horse drawn wagon. Good thing cause it was very hot and humid and quite miserable walking around. I ended up with a mild case of heat exhaustion. JLS
