Todays route was about 420 km - about a five hour drive for us. We are travelling west toward home and that is a bit sad. Our trip is winding down, but we're not done yet. There is still time for one more stop along the St. Lawrence River. The skies are overcast, but the wind is light and it is much warmer.
Rivière Ouelle was founded in 1672. Read this interesting historical account of events at Riviéré-Ouelle ...
"Early in the process of sorting out who my family was, I realized that the people who populated the increasing number of charts were actually participants in an incredible drama... the founding of a country and a culture. That country would become known as Canada, and a people often referred to as French Canadians."
The Heroes of Rivière-Ouelle...
The river front here is stark and dramatic especially at low tide. Amazing rock formations are visible - which are fun to climb.

And even this late in the season the wild roses - rugosa are in bloom along the shore.
