Today we start the trip home. We left Kouchibouguac National Park and drove north thru Bathurst and Campbellton, crossing the Quebec border and ending up in Rivière-du-Loup. The first part of the drive was thru a hilly area with lots of trees then we followed several rivers and a lake finally driving south along the St. Lawrence River.

There were some pretty views but they are hard to catch using your cell phone while the vehicle is moving.

After about six hours of driving we arrived at the town campground in Rivière-du-Loup. The campground is a block away from the St. Lawrence and there is a pedestrian loop trail that takes you to a point of land where a ferry crosses the river.

This painting of an Indian Head was done in 1963. On the occasion of it's 50th anniversary, the painting was restored by well-known area artist Sonia April.

There are a number of interesting homes along the road. We found this one particularly interesting.

Birder feeders are placed along the trail, making the chickadees very friendly. We were about four feet from the bird feeder when Ed shot the photo.

The afternoon was overcast so we didn't have much of a view. Looking across the water at Rivière-du-Loup.

During our walk it was spitting a little. As we arrived at the trailer it started to rain much harder and continued thru the evening. Timed returning from the walk perfectly.
