Gaspésie trip--August

Ok, folks, last call!

John, Victoria and i will be embarking upon a journey of approx. 2500km starting end of this month, about which i’ve posted before.

If you’re interested, you should let us know!

Preliminary plans are to get to my farm on day 1, for a last good-night sleep, and stocking up supplies. Then, we cut thru the Eastern Townships, thru Beauce, to Qc city. From there, maybe along the North shore, across Saguenay, to Baie-Comeau (right John?). Ferry to Matane, and thence around the peninsula, Percé to Matapedia, and back along south-shore to Rimouski, or something like that.

I think we should be able to make it the whole way back, barring mishaps. 100-115km /day. 25 days.

We’ll have fire every night, cause i’m bringing my trusty axe. John is Cooking.

Alternatively, you could do half the trip if time is an issue, and take the bus/ train / allo-stop back.

Scott? AJ? BenA?

If I didn’t have a thesis to write and a family to support, I’d be there.

common pete, your wife seems understanding enough…

i’m scared/incredibly excited.

hey, I actually am leaving in 12 hours for a kind of spur of the moment trip to japan. i’ll be back in a couple weeks, and I took off time from work to do it. I don’t think I’ll be able to take it financially to skip another month. I do really want to do a trip like this at some point, but I guess I really can’t right now. I’m sure it will be incredible.

I’ll be bike touring in Russia instead with vehicle support this month :stuck_out_tongue:

A friend of mine is planning doing Quebec city up past Baie-Comeau and there is a possibility I might be going with him (plan was to bus to Q-city and bus back to Mtl from Northern Quebec) so maybe we can link up at some point - We’d be there around mid Aug which might coincide with you guys

will you guys be in some form of electronic contact with the rest of the world?

oh man… this sounds amazing. I can’t though, i am actually starting school on Aug. 10th because i’m doing this MBA thing and i know absolutely nothing about finance…

this sounds sick though… next year!
