Foxes, farms, and fine scenery

We had a short ride today, with our friendly tailwind taking us 29 miles down the St. Lawrence to Rivière du Loup, where we took a ferry across the river to Saint Simeon.   This gave us plenty of time to stop at a Tim Horton's, Canada's version of Dunkin' Donuts.  While the doughnut didn't compare in quality to some of fine pastry I have been sampling, it is considerably better than its US equivalent.
Along the way, we saw this little fox, looking scared in a parking lot.  We are following Route Verte 1, which has great road signs which give us the freedom to ignore our cue sheets.
After our 1 1/4 hour ferry ride, we climbed a steep to hill to a motel with tiny rooms and great views.

      This kittle fellow was hanging around the parking area of a campground, clearly not fazed by visitors.
