It was another crisp fall day. I had been toasty bundled up in my sleeping bag last night but it was hard to get out of it this morning. Anna invited me to join them for breakfast before I headed off, multigrain oatmeal with some stewed rhubarb was a good start to the day. I picked up a few supplies on my way through Bathurst as I knew there were no real places to stop on the way to Miramichi other than one gas station.
I took the quieter 134 south through Allardville until it joined the 8. And I found the painted hearts again!! I was pretty sure I had lost them, but there they were and they showed me a back way into Miramichi. The fall colours were great and the Acadian flags continued to be flown proudly. Getting over the impressive bridge in Miramichi during afternoon rush hour was a little sketchy as construction had it down to one lane and I peddled as fast as I could to get through with a truck up my arse!!
I am staying at Camping Miramichi and decided to live it up in celebration of passing the 7000km milestone today. They have some treehouses so I am in one of them, it's still pretty damn chilly and there is no-one else here!!
The Acadian flag.
Quiet roads and beautiful fall colours.
Meeting up with hwy 8 again and heading for the impressive bridge in Miramichi.
My home for the night.
The treehouse.
It's pretty basic inside, a bed and 2 bunks with a solar light but still pretty cool.
Awesome pics on this part of the ride, the fall colours look amazing! That's one thing that I miss about the East - the fall colours and snow (well, sort of.....). Glad that you're still having fun (95% of the time anyways!)
