We pack up out camp and head to Forillion National Park about 50 miles up the road. This National Park is the eastern park of the Gaspe Peninsular including “Lands End,” the eastern most point of Quebec. Here begins the Gulf of St. Lawrence. We settle into one of the National Park campgrounds and decide to hike to La Chute Waterfall. It’s a sunny day so Wells does not have high expectations of getting a decent photograph of the falls since it’s too bright. Despite the sun he packs camera, three lenses, and tripod. The falls faces north and is complete shadow so the photo gods are with him today and he captures good images. On this hike one is reminded that to visit the base of a waterfall involves ups and downs.
We scout for where to hike tomorrow and decide on Lands End. Marsha spots a whale but Wells misses it. It reminds us of Wrangle St. Elias National Park in Alaska when Wells saw a wolf and Marsha didn’t.
