I was hit with a mild but steady headwind all day as I made my way down a mostly wooded highway 11. Chaleur Bay lurked in the east but hid behind the forest for most of the way. As evening turned to night the wind got nasty and I could barely push past 10 kph. Fortunately within an hour I arrived in Bathurst and set up camp by the walmart in town. I purchased all sorts of junk food including a box of cinnamon toast crunch. I think the smell from that first town I passed through here in New Brunswick implanted the idea.
I checked Deb and Carlin blog to see how they'd been doing and found they had stayed at a great place in St. Ignace, which was a days ride from my location, so I sent out a few emails through warmshowers to available places in the area including the one they stayed at. Here's hoping I can hook up with a place to stay for tomorrow!
