Last night there were three Airstreams, at our campground, a Bambi (16ft.), our friends, David and Sandra, from Cohasset, MA (Remember them from a previous blog? They are the ones who are traveling in an Airstream with two kayaks on their truck. This is the third time we have been in the same campground in the past three weeks), and us. This morning, as Frederick was doing the outside work for getting us ready to move, the man from the Bambi came over to chat. They have had the Bambi for about six months and they started out small just to see how they liked camping in an Airstream. Now they are thinking of up-sizing and are working with CanAm, in London, Ontario, where we got our Airstream; they are from Ontario. Frederick and he talked about towing vehicles, Airstream sizes, and hitches. The man is a retired mechanical engineer and he was fascinated by our Hensley hitch.
Then, just before we pulled out, we went over to say hello to David and Sandra. We didn't think we would be that long, but we ended up talking for about an hour. Sandra and I talked about inside stuff, and David and Frederick talked about generators, full-timing, and hitches. There is something about men and their hitches that seems to generate endless fascination!
Our traveling from Quebec City to Magog was extraordinary. The 100 mile stretch on highway #20 that we travelled, between Quebec City and Montreal, was aflame with color. Mile after mile the trees were in their full fall glory.
This tree was in our campground, in an area that they are preparing for additional sites, hence the presence of the front loader that has been moving gravel around. This tree has been giving us pleasure all week.
On route #20 we stopped at this Rest Area (Halte Routiere).
Before we got to Montreal, we turned south, toward Vermont. The terrain is a lot more hilly and I think there are not so many red and sugar maples. We tried to get some of this beautiful landscape, but taking pictures from a moving car does not do justice to their vibrant colors.
Whole mountainsides are full of color.
Tonight we are about thirty miles from the Vermont border. We are here in Magog for two days before we re-enter the U.S.
What spectacular scenery and how crazy that you've met up 3 times with friends from MA in such a vast country - so many benefits on top of the history and all the sites to visit in our northern neighbor's country. Judy S.
