Finalizing the Trip East ... Days 13 / 14 - Québec and Reaching the Salt

Thankfully, pictures tell a thousand words ... so here is a 15,000+ word essay:

Trenton, Ontario was an hour east ... finished parts of middle school there on air base.


We took a detour around Kingston to the seaway side route ... requires extra time and worth the diversion from freeways.








The Thousand Islands route is unique, attractive, and dream inspiring.   Some of the properties and settings are magnificent, some on their own islands.  Hitting Montreal, we found roadways and bridge structures badly in need of repair, but west of the city, was an attractive boating area :

West of Montreal ... on the Trans Canada Highway
We managed to hit a respectable rest stop in the trees east of the Québec City exit and pulled in for the night.  Must have been excited, since both up at 5 and on road at 5:30 am !  Chose again to take a longer route through Québec towards New Brunswick, where we found some interesting towns.
