Cape Rosiers to Metis Beach Friday August 26, 1938. Left Cape Rosiers before 8 A.M. and the auto latered on the mountains along the St. Lawrence river. By 6:20 P.M. we were at the Pamvored Hotel, at the south end of Metis Beach. Had a splendid view of Table Tops Mt (4220') from Cape Chat. From here south the auto road grades once easy to speed on. But the road bed is a disturbed and dusty track of jumbled boulders. The beach beneath the Pamvored Hotel is one of green and red silt with thick growths of the conventional Laurentian eraser grass. Saw no any lumbering, these evidently are farther north since Metis on the sea is strong along the road for about five miles. It's an extensive summer resort place with hotels of all kinds and some fine private homes. Put up at the Pamvored Hotel at Little Metis.
