Day 29 - Camping Domaine du Lac Louise
Visited - 9 September 2023
Nights Stayed - 1 night
Knowing we had a long drive, we were up early and on the road by 8 am. Leaving Matane is bittersweet since it was our last stop in the Gaspésie Peninsula. It was still pretty foggy when we pulled out but got better as the day progress. As we left highway 132 and got on the A20 near Mont Joli, we have now official completed the Gaspésie Peninsula circle and are homeward bound.
The day was pretty unremarkable. Stopped for doggy and human pee breaks, lunch, and diesel. We reach the campground around 3:30 pm, I took the dogs for a quick walk then relaxed for the rest of the evening. Know pictures since this is just a quick overnight stay.
Day 30 - Rideau River Provincial Park
Visited - 10 September 2023
Nights Stayed - 1 Night
Not having as long a drive, we left Lac Louise around 9ish. Got diesel just down the road and back on A20 by 9:15. It's great driving on a Sunday since there is little traffic and no transport trucks...or very few.
We pull into the campsite and get set up. I take the dogs for a walk, give them supper, then have supper ourselves. We were planning on staying here for 3 nights but I changed our reservation to only one. We will catch up with family another time. Got to get Brownie home to the vet appt.
I have blogged on Rideau River PP before so not going to do it again. I will say it is a favourite of mine. See previous blog for pics.
Day 31 - Home
11 September 2023
This will be our longest drive of the trip so we are out of the park at 7:30 and on the road. Traffic is good so far but the closer we get to Toronto I'm sure the uglier it will get.
Nothing remarkable about the trip...traffic, road construction, and slow downs which is the normal when driving on highway 401. People have often asked if driving through Toronto towing a 5th wheel scares me. My answer is never...what does scare me are those crazy people who think they are on a race track.
After a month on the road we are home, filled with wonderful memories and excitement of wanting to do it again. People have asked about the cost factor involved towing the 5th wheel. My answer is simple...if you worry about cost then you shouldn't go. Anyway here is the breakdown for the trip. Hope you enjoyed the trip with me through my blog.
