Day 2 Drive from Sudbury to just outside of Montreal

Today all we did was drive. We did stop for gas a couple times, and stopped at Tim Horton’s (like a Dunkin Donuts that is in every large town). We stopped for about 20 minutes at a wayside so Jeff could take a quick nap too. But really we just drove. Ok, Jeff drove and I read a book and kept pining for internet access so I could look up things I wondered about along way such as:

  • Where was all the roadkill? Are there less animals up here, does Canada clean up the mess quickly, or do scavengers swoop down and grab the carrion?
  • I need to brush up (or learn) about Canadian geology. If glaciers covered this country, why is it so hilly to the point of being mountainous?
  • The forests in the first half of the day seemed to have a very diverse number of trees. Did Canadian forests get spared when clear cut logging was a thing? Is it still primary growth forest?
  • There were a lot of rainstorms during the day. Huge downpours at times where the windshield wipers could barely keep up. Then the sun came out and it was gorgeous with all the trees and rocks and beautiful lakes.
  • Here are a couple photos I took as we were zooming down the highway:
  • The kids read books and Carson humored is with some Would You Rather questions.
  • Now we are at our campsite for the night. Jess is having a ball remembering his French lessons from High school. I am amazed at how much he remembers! Pretty impressive!
  • Here is our campsite:
  • Tomorrow we take the subway into Montreal!
