The Golden Highway

Wednesday, July 29, 2015

We were up and on the road by 9:00, sort of back in a routine.

The issue today was road construction.  We had AAA prepare a Trip Tik for us in hopes that they would mark construction sites so we could avoid them.  I guess the process has changed.
We were still able to get in nearly 400 miles, but it took until 6:30 to get it done.

The interesting item today was Val d'Or, which Bonnie thinks must mean Valley of Gold.  There were several huge mines we could see just from the road.  Mines where they have piled up mountains of rock and left holes in the ground.  It would be interesting to return in fifty years to see what the owners had done to correct or replace/replant things!

Bonnie could find no campgrounds on our planned route - at least not fitting our time frame, so we headed for an area where she did find some.  We are still in Quebec, on a nice lake, in a dated campground, with many "happy campers"!

Tomorrow we should spend all day in Ontario.

  1. Just tried to google how to post blogs under different usernames, but I didn't see anything! I hoped you would have the option with a dropdown bar, but I can't tell.

    Glad you're on the road and having adventures again!
