Day 23. August 29, 2013

When we got back last night to the campsite, the weather turned blustery.  Gale-force winds.  Too windy to make a campfire, so we huddled inside.  We made pasta with tomato sauce which I thickened with a bit of cream cheese.  Since we don't want to get the camper greasy, I didn't want to sauté any veg.  We ate a tomato (delish) that we had bought at a roadside stand.

All through the night, the wind blew and blew.  I thought the camper would fly away!  Nervous about taking down the camper later this AM.

Later...taking down the camper wasn't so bad.  George moved is to be perpendicular to the wind.

Drove about 4 hours NE, following the St. Lawrence.  Beautiful views and homes. We stopped in a farmhouse brewery.  The wife was making bread as we arrived.  We had a beer and some of their cheese around a pond, sharing the sun with geese and ducks.  The wife then came outside and herded the sheep to another area.  Their speciality is smoked salmon, and they have a little smokehouse next to their 150+year old house.

We are at a beautiful national park tonight.  Right on a bay.  We rode bikes on their trails, scaring a fawn and red fox.  Quite chilly...in the 40s.  We had chile over the campfire.
