Wednesday

This morning we headed to Pictou where we  followed the coastline up to New Brunswick. After following the coastline for most of the day we ended up at Kouchibouguac National Park. What a nice place to stop! Cooper and I met a man with a wooden leg named Alvin.  He had spent his whole life there in the park. He started sharing stories with us about the area and about an older man named Jackie Voutour. For an interesting read look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Vautour
We sat and listened while Alvin fished and told us more stories.  After he caught his limit we parted.  We decided to drive into the park a little farther and found a government dock, where two fishermen needed help.  They were happy to see us but surprised to see two dogs coming to help them.  After giving them a boost we decided to call it a night.
