Rain is forecast for tomorrow so we wanted to put as many miles on the bike today as possible...made 768 km so that's a pretty big day. Our stops were mainly for food, biffy and gas breaks. We had debated about going to Ile D'Orleans but the traffic was horrendous on highway 20, bumper to bumper, so we decided to skip the side trip. Realized as we approached Quebec City that it was a good decision as the traffic got even heavier. Going through Montreal was a white knuckle event for both of us...lots of road construction too everywhere in Quebec. These shots don't really paint an accurate picture of the bumper to bumper traffic but they give you a bit of an idea...
Saw my birth surname, Pelletier, on a couple of signs so thought that was kind of fun...
Lots of dairy farms, with multiple silage silos and lots of hog farms, discernible by their distinct odour...:) Did get some pretty countryside pictures from the back of the bike so thought I'd share with all of you.
How far we get tomorrow will depend on the weather. Tomorrow will mark four weeks on the road for us...homeward bound feels good.
