On the road for “la Belle Province”

Posted: September 9, 2010 in Trans-Labrador

Leaving redbay I rediscover what it feels like to drive on a beautiful paved road. This twisty road in the mountains by the shore was spectacular. I would weave up and down through the mountain somtimes cresting over a mountain to be greeted with a spectacular view of the ocean and then begin the twisting desent towards the shoreline only to begin the climb again weavin back and forth across the mountain face. What a great ride!

Just before entering Quebec the road starts to flatten out on top of a massive plateau void of forest which just gives you this feeling of having reached the top of the world. Eventually you begin to drop and then the road turns to crappy pavement and then you see the telltale welcome sign to bad roads again! Bonjour les mauvaise route!
