Montreal, PQ

Well, our 'gypsy' days are nearing the end. Karl groaned this morning about disconnecting and setting up of the camper "yet again" and, horrors, I saw a few red leaves in the campground today. Sigh... perhaps it's time,

A little road weary perhaps, we hit the road this morning, leaving our picture perfect campsite in Quebec City for a new one just West of Montreal. (another KOA ... no point taking too many chances LOL!)

Cooler today, about 23 C., but mostly sunny, so it was a nice drive. Our aim was to cut the drive home from Quebec into 2 short, relaxing days. We stopped for a picnic lunch in a Walmart parking lot and then wandered the aisles looking for supper ideas.

We arrived at the KOA in Montreal West about 3 pm.  What a beautiful park, "we thought", and then we realized that although we had come far off the highway along some pretty country roads to get here, the campground is actually right beside another highway. And then we heard the trains that run right on the other side of the highway! I asked at the office and was told that some nights they run 3 times (blowing their horn for a few minutes each time they cross the road behind us) and other nights not at all. We can only hope tonight is a 'not at all' night, sigh.

Otherwise, the park is perfect! We have some steak and sweet potatoes in our instant pot and plan to have a campfire tonight.  Like they say, when life gives you a lemon, make lemonade!

PS. I just heard another low flying plane perhaps landing or just taking off... could we also be near an airport?

Tomorrow we head for the Belleville area to meet Karl's brother and son for the day Saturday (and you too, Heather!). If all goes well, we'll do the last leg of our homeward trip on Sunday.
