Riviere-du-Loup QC

Before we left our cosy KOA campsite this morning, we met a lady who had been a breeder of Kaasehunds. She kept her last show dog as a pet, what a cutie! We were told that they are somehow related to the Eurasia dogs which we were considering before Maxie arrived in our home. Difference is that these are “Maxie” size.
It was truly a day of travelling. Our little caravan (okay just car and trailer) hit the road running at 9 a.m. and didn’t stop (well mostly) until 8 tonight!
Beautiful scenery! Who knew that there were mountains in Quebec?  And then there is the St. Laurence River Valley, just breathtaking.
We did meet another dog person along the way ( we seem to attract them). This fellow is a trucker who rescues pitbulls. His latest rescue is one who had been in a dog fighting ring since a pup.  He wasn’t too hopeful about bringing this one around, if he can’t the poor thing will be put down … and not really his fault, sigh!
We arrived at what we thought would be a good park, Camping Du Quai, in Riviere-du-Loup. Glowing reviews, but turned out to be little more than a large parking lot with a pool and a playground. Very tight spots and almost no greenery. Back to KOA next time!  Oh well, we did meet a nice French Canadian couple with a collapsible A-frame style trailer.  They showed us their trailer and told us some of their travelling stories.  Have to admit that the quebecers have been much friendlier on this trip!
Tomorrow we head for Moncton, and Karl is looking forward to a re-union with a long-lost friend. More about that later.
