Not wanting to commit to booking accommodations, we decided to camp as we already owned a tent and felt it would provide us with the flexibility we desired.

One trip to a camping outfitters store later, we rolled down the car windows and set o–. We drove through Quebec up the Saint Lawrence River, putting about 400 kilometres behind us before reaching Rivière-du-Loup, Que., and crossing into New Brunswick.
