Today we travelled to Kouchibouguac National Park, known for its varied ecosystems including; salt marshes, tidal rivers, abandoned orchards and of course beaches. http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/nb/kouchibouguac/index.aspx And, for my night sky fans.. this park is a dark sky preserve and known as "one of the most magical astronomy parks in North America".

This is a huge park - we drove 13 km from entrance to our campsite. We chose an open field type site- which was perfect for me - I could run and chase my ball without any surprise squirrel encounters. (My Mom did see a rabbit right behind our site.) The bike trails are beautiful. - not that I got to go along..but that's what I heard.

Later today we are going to see the sand bars and big beaches of the park. These beaches are where the endangered piping plover nests. Too bad for me - as dogs are strictly prohibited on these beaches -(Can you quess why??) I will have to wait in the motorhome.
Today's route… 270 km from Carleton-sur-Mer to Kouchibouguac Park.
