Day 51. Montmagny to Riviere du Loup. June 17. 135 km.

After breakfast in the hotel, we started toward Riviere du Loup with second thoughts. The weather forecast was for rain possible throughout the day and we thought that our chances of being soaked were high. Nevertheless we started out understanding that we could be soaked at anytime. After about an hour it started to rain buckets but luckily we were in front of two businesses one of which was a pharmacy. Its overhanging roof was perfect to keep us dry.

After about 15 minutes, the rain let up and we were on our way again.

The conditions were great as the wind was behind us and pushed us along and the road was basically flat. This facilitated our getting to Riviere du Loup by 3:30. We had a room in the Days Inn. Tomorrow we head over the Appalachians and into New Brunswick.

 

Staying out of the downpour along Hwy 132.

 

 

It's hard to believe that this is part of a river.

 

The pictures show us hiding from the rain and the size of the St Lawrence River here.
