Aug.10,2010 Matane

We heard of a place in Matane to boondock and we’re staying here 2 nights.This place is along the water and behind the Hart Dept. store. There is also a large fishing pier that gets very crowded with fishermen.There lots of Canadians boondocking here also. They also have a dump in front of the store in the corner.That was nice of them.This evening we decided to go on a adventure and look for moose.We took 195 out of town to the Matane wildlife refuge.When you get to the info center you go 26 miles on a semigravel dusty road. Just to see some moose.Once your at the end of the road you hike in about 1/2 mile.Your surrounded by bushes and then you arrive at a tower that you can climb and sit and watch for moose.Along the way you pass by 2 beautiful lakes. The last one has camping and has a  beautiful setting with manicured grass.I think this may managed by the wildlife dept. They also have kayak trips in early morning and at dusk.Just beautiful too stay a few days if you don’t mind the road.Well after sitting in the tower and it getting near dark I told Sam we need to leave as I don’t want to walk back through woods in the dark.Do you think I’m scared,you betcha. After sitting here I was disappointed because we didn’t see moose.That’s ok we had a nice drive and got to see some beautiful scenery.Life’s an adventure and we’re making it happen.Here’s some of the photos.
