Day 1, 283km

I 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 heavy

For 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 location

Tucked 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.
