We left Quebec City on Sunday and travelled by way of Saguenay/ Chicoutami through Jacque Cartier National Park. We stopped at the covered bridge below (bottom) - Why did they build covered bridges? So they could be tourist attactions? There were lots of bikes on the road, everyone waves.
Monday was a rough day - heavy ice-cold at 90-100 kph rain seems to drive right through rain gear, boots, luggage. We were pretty wiped out by the time we got to Sept-Iles. Tuesday was great - visited Sofie's home, took pictures of the bay, and took an easy run to Havre-Saint-Pierre. It's our last stop before Natashquan and the ferry. 
Above - everyone is friendly and surprised we've come from as far as Vancouver. At Havre-S-P we again (3rd time) ran into 2 couples on Cam Ams. They just got back from Natashquan.
Cheers everyone,
Barry and Ron
lol..covered bridges were built that way in order to protect the bridge from freezing and diving into the water with the horse and buggy. They were useful for larger gatherings also and of course, for kissing under, so as not to get caught by anyone...hmmm There are a llittle over 100 that are considered heritage bridges and are protected from being torn down. They have a very colorful history for those interested.
