Back To The North Shore





It was another overcast and foggy start to our day was we motored  west along Rte 132. Traffic was very light. We made a pit stop at Tim's in the larger town of Montmagny before crossing the river to Quebec City and the north shore at Lévis.

We took the faster Autoroute 40 west, exited at Deschambault and quickly found a nice Halte Municipale to eat a late lunch. We decided to continue west on the secondary highway, Rte 138 which follows the river. We had one dramatic moment crossing a narrow bridge which should have been marked one lane and yield. Elbows in as three vehicles came at us.  I stopped  for two cars to pass after the first one passed and  we clipped rhe right  rearview mirror on the bridge. No damage done, just some realignment when we could
stop.

In Cap de la Madeline we stopped for gas at a Shell station. Not as quite a big fill-up this time. $323.36 (182.8 l @ $1.76.9 with the CAA discount).
 

Skies threatened the entire drive but the rain held off until we reached our campground, another different arrangement. This one is part of a marina on the Rivière du Loup in Louiseville , about 35 km west of Trois Rivière. We had a longer day motoring 370 km.



We discovered a trail  maintained by Ducks Unlimited along a pond  across from the marina. Shadow and I walked a short distance  on it before  mosquitos got to us.
