Day 1, 283kmI rode quite a bit of gravel on this trip, this was in nice condition but a bit loose.I lightened the load a bit but the bike is still loaded pretty heavyFor all those that think riding in NB means 100% tunnel-like tree lined roads.Crossing the Saint John River on the Evandale Ferry.It’s a great day for summertime fun on the river.“Road Closed” signs are much cheaper than construction repairs so this road remains unpassable by all but an ATV.The KLR is using a bit of oil so I stopped at Oak Point Park to top it up .Dinner at the Welsford Irving – $4.35.Heading into the bush so I bought 2l of H2O.Found a decent boondocking spot at the northern tip of South Oromocto Lake.Camp locationTucked unobtrusively into the trees, barely visible from the road.There’s a tiny dam holding back the lake with a fish ladder along the side.video log entryEnjoying a nice sunset from my campsitesunset
