July 11, 12 Gaspe Peninsula

Weather Sunny and Windy about 70

Our campground is a new municipal endeavour New Richmond - Camping de la Pointe Taylor, easy in and out sites and so peaceful.  The tricky part is trying to find sites on the internet or in your camping guides for big rigs.  Most you find you have to hit the translate button too, when I called they did speak some broken English and our sites were here when we got here!
Riding out to the end of the Gaspe peninsula is a long day.
Wild Roses grow along the roadside all the way

We went to Perce to see "The Rock" and then went to the town of Gaspe and turned around and came back the same road.   There is really only one road so you can't get lost!   The road follows the coastline and the water made it cooler so we had our leathers on even though we took sun all day.
If you come into Perce in a Motorhome from the north - BEWARE - there is a 17% grade with a turn as well taking you into town!!!!   We did it on the motorcycle and both of us were cringing of the though of doing it in a motorhome.... no way!
from the north going into Perce 17% grade with little shoulder
