Magog

We were up earlier today and away by 8:30 as we had another long day as we were going to leave the rail trails and start some elevation. We were visited by racoons last night but fortunately everything was secured in a storage locker. We provisioned in Waterloo for lunch before heading off on a very straight road which we presumed was a rail trail that crossed 2 valleys before coming to Orford National park. The two valleys had descents of 200 metres. We also had a lot of climbing to do through Orford National park as this is the tip of the Appalachin mountains. We had initially planned on staying in the park but decided to push on for anothe 20 k for a campground past Magog. By the time we got to Magog we were pretty spent. After fortifying on some food we headed to the beach for a swim. We made it to the campground but are quite tired. Julia and Ray found a public piano so they were quite happy. No public violins though. 72 k 800 metres of elevation. Off to Sherbrook and beyond tomorrow.Read more
