Subject:      Looking for travel advice in Quebec and southeast Ontario
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

My wife and I have traveled in our van from Virginia to Alberta, BC, Yukon,
Northwest Territories, and the Atlantic Provinces (except Labrador) several
times each, but have never traveled in Ontario or Quebec.  We hope to
remedy that starting later next week with a 3 to 4 week trip.

While we normally shun big cities and spend all of our van time in remote
places we will spend some of our time in Ottawa, Montreal and the city of
Quebec.

When traveling in the van, we tend to spend one night at a campsite and
then move on to the next one down the road in order to see new small towns
or scenic areas.  The exception is that we sometime will spend several days
if there are several nice day hikes in an area.  Our bodies are
"experienced" but we are in good shape and still love hiking, the outdoors,
and camping in parks (we avoid commercial campgrounds if possible).

I would love to receive some advice on roads to travel, parks to visit,
camping areas and hiking areas or suggested trails.  We have been told we
have to visit Forilon National Park, but other than that we are wide open
to suggestions as to roads, towns, camping areas in provincial parks and
county/city/regional parks.  Both ones to try and ones to avoid.

I believe we have missed all the van events in that area this year, but if
I am wrong, please let me know.

Either public or private responses will be welcomed.

Thanks,

Harold
