Both suggestions so far are good.
However, Fredericton up to Perth and back down in same day, with the size of our group and the stops we incorporate, would be a long day.
Some parts of 105 are a bit rough.
It’s nothing like roads we saw in NS.
I would suggest doing in other direction and a bit shorter from Grand Falls down to Plaster Rock, then Perth along Tobique river and onto Woodstock for lunch. Then back up.
Down one side of river and up the other.
Florenceville, Hartland and Perth all provide way points for stops.
Covered bridge in Hartland, etc.
Hilltop motel in Grand Falls has all drive up rooms plus restaurant on site. View of dam and Falls from restaurant.
Easy walking distance to Falls tourist center just down the hill.
Or Daigle’s motel in St-Leonard also has restaurant on site, drive up rooms and conference room.
I could secure accommodations, host, help plan route and lead.
I know this area very well except 105 Florenceville to Woodstock (Section I suspect of being rough as very little traffic through there), and Downtown Woodstock.
From Florenceville to Woodstock, road would be better if use 130 in both directions.
Acadian tour, why not do it from Bathurst instead of Miramichi?
Another option would be to start in Campbellton, across to Carleton, Que., onto Parc de la Gaspesie (Mont Albert) along the Cascapedia river. Beautiful scenic route along a salmon river into the Appalachian mountains.
Route went through there in the dark several years ago.
Those who were there didn’t see what they missed.
Then a part of coast on other side and back to Campbellton through Amqui and the Matapedia valley.
Shorter then last Gaspe run and can be done in one day.
What do you think Roger?
We could scout, plan, host and lead that run?
