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.
