getting ready to leave Pamphile
The back roads of Quebec through the Eastern Townships took us through Lac Megantic….you may recall the train load of oil which rolled into town and blew up killing over 40 and all but destroying the down town. This area remains off limits to all but the construction workers. They have 3 guards at each end of the area with a patrol car circling the perimeter……a 500 foot walkway has been built to allow viewers a look at the area….while there a Tour Bus came in….The buildings destroyed have been cleaned from the area and it appears they are preparing the area to rebuild which ment also digging out the area contaminated by the
spill.
Across from the Board Walk…eerie
many old farms along the route
Breaky Stop/Bar/Service Station/Restaurant
The last two pics taken from the bridge in the centre of the resort town of Magog Quebec
One of many bars in town which is a mecca for skiers at Mont Orford/Sutton/Jay peaks Vermont…………….
Monday getting ready at KOA cabin to go into Renfrew to Suzuki Dealer as my bike has been acting up…….
Waiting for Jim to take it for a ride…he is back in 30 seconds…chain and sprockets needed….no parts in stock so he adjusts the chain which has developed kinks and doesn’t guarantee it will last the 3 1/2 hour ride home. It does and I will be back on Thursday trailering the bike for repairs……………………
new VStrom 1000 &
VStrom 650……….will I be leaving with a new ride………LOL
Arrived back in Gravenhurst just ahead of the storm at 2 pm…..great trip and weather……4657 k driven
