The Road Less Travelled 2016 edition takes us to the Gaspé Peninsula located south of the St Lawrence River extending into the Gulf of St Lawrence. The journey starts in Montreal where we first travel south to Mt Washington. We slowly make our way north-east passing through Bangor and Presque Isle. In the Gaspé we travel to Lands End and visit the city of Percé where we find Percé Rock and île Bonaventure. In Matane we hop on a ferry to the North Shore where we make our way to Quebec City.

Roadside Break
Due to some GPS mishaps we did a little more mileage than expected, but that always makes for interesting stories...
When we stopped for gas, the attendant was clearly suffering from crack withdrawal - reeling and gagging behind the counter when she served Marc and Joe. A few minutes later she passed out, an older couple called 911 and the ambulance and firemen arrived. Our security detail did not have a lot of sympathy for her - hazards of the job, I guess.
After the extra miles, we needed a last break to stretch before the final 100km to Bangor - everyone arrived in a good mood.
Happy Good Morning
Great start to the day with breakfast at Priscilla's. Counter space only ... the place is very popular and Priscilla runs a tight ship. Marc almost put the salt on the wrong side and was reprimanded.
Day 2 North Conway to Bangor - The Weird Way Round
The Garmin GPS really really wanted to go south today but eventually it was coaxed into going east!
Mount Washington
To the top of Mount Washington. Where Joe stated "Once again we travel vast distances to see nothing".
Day 1 - Going South
Border rest stop where we met a nice border agent and former Mississippi police officer. Advice to Mary was passport should be signed to be valid 😉
