Spontaneity is the best kind of adventure.

Interesting that for 30 years we have driven by this bike path just outside Saint Jean Port Joli, Quebec and I kept telling myself that I have to stop and bike it. Today we stopped at a little tourist area at Kamouraska. The actual tourist centre was closed for construction but the bike/walking path was open. Unfortunately, we found out this morning that the bikes did not winter well plus the fact that Max can’t bike, so we decided to walk the path. This 35 km trail hugs the Lower St Lawrence seaway and much of it has amazing views of the seaway itself. Along the 5 km we walked, the scenery was spectacular; the photo ops endless and the exercise was welcomed too!!!
Our driving goal for today was to get inside the Ontario border. Since we were going southwest, we decided to stay on Highway 2 which is south of the 401 – a quieter drive for sure. On a tip from an iOverlander post we stayed in the Cooper Marsh Conservation Area, as we tucked ourselves in the corner of the parking lot for the night. Dogs were not allowed in the marsh area and also it seemed there was a mosquito convention in town, so we crashed early. Remember, there is always another adventure tomorrow!
