Day 2 - Travel Day to Quebec

Today was our first travel day on the caravan.   It was warm and muggy this morning, early.

All the caravan members were making preparations to leave.  Spence had to measure all the rigs while they were hooked up to their toweds, or trailers in order to make certain the ferry manifest was correct.

We passed through scenic small towns, river corridors, some construction, and saw lots of motorcycles going somewhere unknown.  We fueled up in Jackman where we saw Phil and Cheryl Hawkins doing the same thing.  There was a lot of congestion with the motorcycle traffic in the station, and Cheryl had to go ask several bikers if they could move their bikes so Phil could negotiate out of the station.  Looked like everyone was very cooperative and soon they were on their way. 

We decided to stop for lunch at “The Falls” rest area, about 7 miles before the border crossing.  We wanted to make certain that what we were planning to eat for lunch was not confiscated by the border patrol.   It is a nice little falls.  We enjoyed the stop.

The border crossing was actually very easy.  The line was long, but moved very fast.  The border guard was actually very pleasant, asked minimal questions, and sent us on our way with a smile.  Whew!  We hear that everyone had pretty much the same experience today.

Not long after arriving at the KOA Quebec, it began to thunderstorm.   However, since there was a travel briefing at 7pm we brave souls darted between the raindrops to the meeting room.   

George and Winifred Meiser  can be seen hurrying along, while Sandy and Gunter Oeser have just made it to the door.

After the travel briefing, Madi  passed Mo the monkey on to Jan Holter for her non stop help yesterday at Orientation, dinner and clean-up. 

Scrumptious chocolate chip maple bread pudding topped with bananas and banana liqueur sauce and whip cream was our reward for braving the elements.. Thanks Terry!
