On the way home, via a northern route

We did decide that we would head home today rather than spend another day in Moncton and risk bad weather. We were rewarded nicely for our decision too with a beautiful, mostly clear and just warm enough day.

We had a couple of options for route and we chose to head north through New Brunswick to Quebec and to Riviere du Loop (Cherif tells me it means River of the wolf) on the St. Lawrence. This took us through the eastern Appalachian range and specifically the Notre Dame and Long range Mountains. We rode along the St. Lawrence until Rte 20 turned south at Quebec City.







We had many beautiful mountain views today.












...and a lot of great river and lakes to look at.






We shared the road with a lot of campers and...












...lots of motorcycles


                                          And finally we had great views of the St Lawrence






Patti's job is to take pictures........over my shoulder, and sometimes she takes them OF my shoulder.





So here we are hunkered down for the night after a 500 mile day, tired but happy to have had another great day. With luck, we'll sleep in our own bed tomorrow night (after visiting Everett and Ellie of course ;), Molly and matt too of course)
