It rained this morning before I got out of my tent so it was a lazy morning. There was about 30km more highway to Miramichi, “Canada’s Irish Capital”, where I took a break at Tim Hortons for a snack knowing that it would be a long ways on the highway with nowhere to stop until lunch. I stopped for lunch just past Kouchibouguac National Park (pronounced koo-she-boo-gwack). I wanted to go in but they had a toll booth and I wasn’t willing to pay a day use fee just to sit at a picnic table.
There was lots more highway until Bouctouche where I finally got back onto the Acadian Coast scenic route which was actually scenic for once by being right on the ocean. Though it was extremely windy. I was looking for a picnic area shown on my map that I might be able to camp at but didn’t find it and ended up going another 10km to the Acadien Park campsite.
