Saturday July 10 - 1937 Left Quebec at 9.30 A.M. Crossed the river in the Leri Ferry. A beautiful cool day, but the gravel roads are dry and many are "crack-braced" and shells the auto dreadfully and the dust is so thick that we cannot see ahead. The Laurentides stood out well and we had them close and high all the way to Riviere du Lou. Offonte Bie bog was far away and much lower. At Bie Min Le Vene and I looked on the cays, and tried to find L.C. better but got none. Saw me small granite pieces and a flood of basalt over this part again in the cays. This basalt is in itself very dense and was Canadian as a Precambrian. Staying at the Hotel St Laurent at Rimouski. Expensive and no good.
