Today was another good day for riding. The sky was overcast and then cleared up.
Highway 108 across New Brunswick is an isolated stretch of road. About the
only traffic I encountered was an occasional logging truck.
The road had its share of repairs and rough spots. This made it all the more
fun to ride on.
Setting up camp that afternoon. The tent was still wet from the last time it
was used so I let it dry out before placing the gear inside. The Thermarest
self-inflating air mattress is on top of the gear on the picnic table.
After camp was set up I went exploring and was able to get close to some of
the park's permanent residents.
The park has a boardwalk out to the beach.
This was my first up close visit to the ocean on this trip.
