Dot was impressed by these cranes just south of Montreal where we tried to get propane.

Our first official campground experience in "Betty," our Syncro at Mallet Bay, VT, just outside of Burlington.
|
"Dot's store" in Burlington.
|
First stop on Dot's Bday was the Ben and Jerry's factory tour in VT.

Coming soon to your grocers freezer...

The Ben & Jerry's flavor graveyard

Paul Bunyan and Paul G. both wearing red shirts and blue pants, somewhere in New Hampshire.
|
Mary and Mike (fellow Westfalia friends) provide generous hospitality in their lovely Maine home.
|
Passing through New Brunswick we see the world's largest covered bridge.
|
Our first of many ferries...from Matane to Baie Comeau, Quebec across the St. Laurence "river" which is more like an ocean at this point--it's a 2+ hour ferry trip.
|
The Matane ferry in the background as we unload in Baie Comeau.
|
In Baie Comeau is the start of the Trans Quebec Labrador "highway" (actually dirt road most of the way).
|
The Manic 2 Hydro Dam about 22km north of Baie Comeau.
|
Our lovely campground near Manic 2.
|
Our lakefront camping area at the Manic 2 campground. Our first nice sunny day since leaving Maine.
|
Massive powerlines near Manic 3.
|
We took the free tour of the Manic 5 Hydro Dam. It's the largest of it's kind in the world.
|
After Manic 5 the "highway" gets somewhat more rustic.
|
Beautiful scenery though....
|
There were many train crossings for the Quebec Labrador railway. Make sure you always stop, very few warnings.
|
The Iron ore company town of Fermont, Quebec is pretty much one big building.
|
Dot ponders our next campervan upgrade...
