Newfoundland Trip - Day 9

Took the "interesting way" today - drove over towards the US - Canada border. Ran out of gas - thank God for the gas tank I brought! Mileage on the old GLC at that point was 430 miles! Found gas station just around the corner - I had almost made it. Just like last summer in Yukon and Alaska: if you don't get gas when you see it, you won't find any later... Crossed at I-95 and then took US-1 up to Caribou. Crossed back into Canada in Quebec. Drove along St. Lawrence River for a few more hours - stopped in Riviere-du-Loup for a bit. Eventually found a campsite near Montreal (at Camping 300 in Cap-Saint-Ignace). Met some interesting people in the campground - they are locals on a vacation. They told me more than anyone else had - about things to do around here...
