![]() We have a parking place and a sign, but that’s our lot. I think that this is the Riviere Sault aux Moutons – the River Leap-Sheep ad if the sheep were leaping over that waterfall they must have been pretty good. As well as the St Lawrence River and the scenery, I’ve encountered my first serious waterfall. I’m really off the beaten track now though. Luckily the ferry was comparatively empty.Īnd as for the weather, it might be freezing but at least we have bright sunlight. Master Bates, Seaman Staines and Roger the cabin Boy, the crew of the Felix-Antoine Savard, did the honours as His Nibs posed for the camera. One of the things I had always planned to do was to come back and photograph it properly in the daylight, and here I am today.Īnd Strawberry Moose had a good photo opportunity today. My motel last night at St Simeon, despite being expensive, was quite comfortable and I was up and about quite early going for a little walk.įrom here there’s a ferry across the St Lawrence that I sailed on in 2001, but I’m not going that way – I’m going much further along the river from here and then heading into the interiorīack in 2001 I passed over the Saguenay River on the ferry that crosses here and I took it again this year.īut when I arrived here in 2001 it was dark and in the morning it was freezing cold so I didn’t gat to hang around too much and photograph the scenery. It might mean nothing to you at the moment but if you have ever read The Land God Gave to Cain by Hammond Egges, then this is the line that they were building all throughout the story, so it has some kind of literary interest. Talking of railways, sometime tomorrow I’ll be encountering the railway line that runs from Sept Iles up to Labrador City and all of the iron and aluminium lines in the interior. The Labrador Trail, Highway 389, starts just about 1km from my door and I’ll be on that tomorrow. I’m on the economy budget plan as you know and a room here has only cost me $49 so I’m happy with that.Īnd not only that, it’s on the main road and nicely positioned for tomorrow when I head off into the interior. I’ve made a note of that for the return.Īnd don’t think that I’m complaining about my motel room either because I’m not. There are two huge freighters, of which this is one, anchored in the bay waiting to get in while a third one, the Australiaborg, owned by a Dutch shipping company, is currently being loaded at the dockside.Īnd of course there is the ferry over the St Lawrence to Matane. There’s just about 10 kilometres of track on this side of the river to handle all of the paper traffic from the mill and then a rail ferry takes it across to Matane on the south shore of the St Lawrence from where it’s shipped by rail to Quebec City. >What’s interesting is that they have a rail link from here to Quebec City, would you believe? They hadn’t yet discovered the iron ore and aluminium that led to the creation of Sept-Iles further up the coast. This is going to be more fun than a fast pass to the front of the line.… I’m sitting in a dingy motel room in Baie Comeau, a town that was built in the 1930s to handle the timber and subsequently the paper trade relating to all of the forests and so on around here.Īt that time it was effectively the farthest north-eastern town (as opposed to “settlement”, of which there were plenty) in Quebec. ![]() You've always wondered who your inner Disney princess is, but who knew those years of playing RollerCoaster Tycoon on your family's Gateway computer would reveal the answer?
