There is a tiny mining museum in Petit Rocher if you are there and have time...If you want some really, really good food while you are in Petit Rocher, take a ride to Beresford, it's about 10 minutes on the Coastal road and the place is named. Restaurant 748... It's at 748 Rue Principale, Beresford NB. Or for Breakfast....Ask if Louise is Working and tell her that her little brother Maurice recommended it from NC....All the food is good there and you get a lot for your dollar.

DAY FIVE, July 5, 2016
Today (day 5) was a much less "comfortable" day to ride! Temps never got above the mid 50s and at least half the day we rode in pouring rain! Both of us were dressed in layers and even wore our rain gear when it was NOT raining as an extra windbreak, so we weren't cold. But the damp worked its way in under everything and we were mighty glad to get out of all the layers, into a hot shower, and finally into dry comfort! You should see the motel room with every possible surface draped with damp clothing.....
That said, it was still a great day! We continued to ride the Quebec coastline most of the day.... dozens of charming, tiny villages right on the water's edge.... lighthouses at intervals, like this old beauty at Cape Madeleine.... A stroll at noon through the old downtown of the town of Gaspe where we discovered a little cafe stocked with the perfect lunch to share between us --- a baguette, a wedge of creamy Brie Cheese, a fresh fruit and cream tart.
Every single little community has a charming rest stop for travelers with picnic tables, benches, bathrooms, and some even with picnic shelters. About 2:00 p.m. with a break in the weather we pulled in to use the rest stop, and my wife grabbed a dry bench to stretch out and ease the riding kinks. A 10-minute power nap can do such wonders for a tired rider! Thankfully, we got that little rest, as the sky soon opened up and we rode in downpour the rest of the way. We crossed a river separating Quebec and New Brunswick at 4:30 p.m., hunkered down and powered on for another hour and a half to get to our room in Petit Rocher, NB.
Tomorrow, we will take the bridge over to explore Prince Edward Island, and a ferry across from there to Nova Scotia the next day. See attached map.

The bridge to PEI is pretty cool...on the other side when you come off it on the right there is a nice place to chill, eat and buy souvenirs... We went last year and it was nice ... The highway is nice but a bit boring....take my word on the dreakfast in Beresford, it's right beside the exit to get back on the main highway if you want to go around Bathurst, it's a quaint city though..
