July 8, 2008

From Quebec City we are driving northeast along the south shore of the St. Lawrence Seaway. It is mostly a boring drive through farm country in foggy drizzling cool weather. Maybe the East coast version of the Pacific Northwest. The air is also thick with the sea smell. The shoreline is mostly sheet rock, exposed probably because of low tide. I think this bedrock is very close to the surface in all of northeastern Canada because during the numerous Ice Ages, the glaciers bulldozed away the soil.

In Matane, QC we stop for the evening at a private park. Next to our RV is a decrepit old schooner sitting high and dry on the grass.
