After a peaceful sunrise walk along Talon Lake we got underway for a long day driving to Chambly PQ. OK it didn't take long to have a problem. Within 5 mins of leaving Lake Talon, we lost our speedo cable which meant we also lost our cruise control. This put Papa on edge for sure he said he had a sore right toe by the time we got to Montreal. Then the traffic jam hit.. the Champlain bridge is being reconstructed and we got stuck in a HUGE traffic jam as the traffic from the entire city was merging into one lane. to cross the bridge. Everyone is hot, tired and out of patience. People in other cars are at least smiling at me and taking pictures of me sitting on the dashboard. It took one hour to make it to the South Shore.
Oh yes we also left home without the power cable for our GPS. Papa always hated this GPS but not having it made PAPA crazy. Especially as he and my Mom tried to navigate Montreal in traffic. There was some yelling then silence for a long time. So once we crossed the bridge we stopped at CT to buy a new GPS and Papa is happy again. and we are able to find our "Jolie" Campground without a problem. Not so jolie after all, the long weekend is here and even though we reserved we end up in a site next to the "Station de Vidange" (this site next to the SHITE station). Je suis trent l'apprend le francais. Ya this one campground that is off the list.
