Did you travel this summer? If so, what was your e Did you travel this summer? If so, what was your experience? Did you remain in your home province or state? This summer was the first time we crossed borders since Covid began. We crossed 4 provincial borders: Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI. The latter three required us to apply for travel passes online beforehand and we needed to be fully vaccinated. The process was simple, you just needed to upload proof of vaccination and photo ID to receive the pass. Lines were short and painless at the three Atlantic province crossings. PEI required that we be tested for Covid upon entry, after crossing the bridge. As someone who endured 53 Covid tests during the pandemic (I was an Essential Caregiver in Long Term Care for my father - Julie), I would have to say the tester received an A++ for being both gentle and thorough, not to mention good humoured and entertaining. Btw we both tested negative! Travelling in a self contained van we live pretty much the same as we would, pandemic or not, in a bricks and mortar home. We mostly shop for food and cook meals in our home on wheels and the rest of the time we live outdoors. It’s definitely a little different than pre-pandemic travel but worth the little bit of planning beforehand! Keep in mind, the rules keep changing. #covidtravel #crossingprovincialborders #atlanticbubble #enteringtheatlanticbubbleduringcovid #vantravel #canada #newbrunswick #novascotia #pei #travelpasses #folksblogen
Our first interaction with the St Lawrence River o Our first interaction with the St Lawrence River on this trip was at Rivière-Ouelle. We were just so happy to be there, enjoying the view of the north shore, the water, the smells - salt water, tidal river, wild roses, and scrambling on the rocks. It wasn’t until later that we looked up the legend of La Jongleuse. And what a gruesome, made up story it is, told by a guy named Henri-Raymond Casgrain. We’re lead to believe that the three inexplicable snow shoe tracks embedded in the solid rock are those of a diabolical ‘old, Iroquois Squaw’ blamed for the barbarous tragedy involving a French woman by the name of Madame Houelle and her son Harold. This Iroquois woman became known as ‘The Juggler,’ and is said to regularly haunt the banks of the river on full moon nights in search of reckless children. Oh, that Henri-Raymond had quite an imagination. #riviereouelle #stlawrenceriver #stlaurent #quebec #lajongleuse #thejuggler #goodguideswheretravelsnevercease #folksblogen
Our friend Carolyn recommended we watch this movie Our friend Carolyn recommended we watch this movie, The Long, Long Trailer with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. It was made in 1953 but could have been made in 2021. Every single thing that happens in the film is relevant today. In this scene they want to escape campgrounds and trailer parks and camp in the wild (in their 40 foot long trailer😂). So they take a rustic dirt road believing it will lead to Nirvana. It nearly breaks their marriage… #thelonglongtrailer #lucyanddesi #vanlife #rvlife #traveltrailer #livingthedream
Here we are nestled below a migratory bird observa Here we are nestled below a migratory bird observation tower, surrounded by colourful yurts, adjacent to the St Lawrence. What you can’t see are two hundred plus other campsites choc-a-bloc with people and vehicles. The silver lining: we are on the perimeter of it all and can see the river from this site and this tower. #notourfavouritekindofcamping #montagny #quebec #stlaurent #stlawrenceriver #athomeinourhymer #camping #travelbyvan #snowgoosecapital
September camping can be quiet and even a bit mela September camping can be quiet and even a bit melancholy like here in Trois Pistoles, QC. The air is cool and damp, the leaves are changing colour and the evening sky is the stuff of dreams. #septembercamping #changingweather #quiet #beautifulsky #troispistoles #quebec #followingthestlawrenceriver
The St Lawrence River is like a magnet. The pull i The St Lawrence River is like a magnet. The pull is so strong. The tides, the alternating smells of salt water and brackish sediment, even the fog feel like home. We are savouring it all until next time. #thestlawrenceriver #basstlaurent #quebec #parcnationaldubic #sunrise #happyplace
We crossed into Québec yesterday and followed the We crossed into Québec yesterday and followed the Matapédia River across the Gaspé. The first half of the journey from the New Brunswick border was stunningly beautiful. We stopped at every opportunity. Québec has all the provinces beat when it comes to rest stops, picnic areas and overlooks. This route includes several covered bridges of varying lengths. #labelleprovince #québec #gaspé #matapediariver #coveredbridge #mintgrowsinthisriver
The antidote to travelling for three hours in a va The antidote to travelling for three hours in a van is walking 7km through a forest enveloped by the intoxicating scent of vetiver. Our travels through New Brunswick are bracketed by scent memories, coming and going. #sugarloafmountain #newbrunswick #vetiverscentedtrail #forestbathing #weneededthis
We revisited the tower at the bog today during a l We revisited the tower at the bog today during a lull in the day-long rainfall. It was there we met Aaron from Germany who is here in Canada on a one year Visa. We heard him before we saw him. He was wearing a bear bell. He was told it would deter bears and since he is travelling solo it was a good idea. He started off in Ontario and is making his way to NL before making an abrupt turn and heading west for BC. His favourite place so far?! The Gaspesie in QC which happens to be one of our favourite places in Canada too. We’ve decided we’ll start heading back to Ontario via the Gaspé this week. We can’t get enough of the beauty of the St Laurent! Québec, here we cone. #stlaurent #stlawrencebound #quebecherewecome #kouchibouguacnationalpark #thebogtower #welovemeetingpeople #vantravel
