Total mileage: 4412
Today's theme is Pointy Palaces and Moose training
When traveling in multi-language towns, symbology is very important. Have you ever in your wildest dreams seen signage like this:

Where good bikes go to die:

We set off after our wingmate catches his ride to the Aerofloat base:

We pass big lakes:

Then we do the absolutely most important thing of the trip (again)..

We pass no less than a 1/2 dozen of these pointy palaces today. I'm guessing we need some "saving"
However, they do like them big and pointy!


lead roof?





Next on the list was Moose training. Apparently, moose strikes are quite popular on the roads entering Quebec City. Miles of 8 ft fence line the road. Every couple hundred yards, they make these shoots to get errant moose back into the wilderness.
This one requires the moose to push through the one-way wires

This one requires the moose to drop 4 foot down. I guess moose don't jump?

Lots of silage hay readied for a long winter. Silage is an interesting hay product. It is baled wet and actually ferments. Since it is anaerobic (e.g. in the absence of oxygen), it needs to be eaten quickly once the plastic bag is opened. It is also not uncommon for the cattle to get drunk off the bales, should the process fail (e.g too wet, too much oxygen in the bag, bag not sealed etc).


The best looking corn we've seen in Canada. It was 4 ft tall, miniature by southern states standards.

Christmas Tree farms

Then another stop at Timmies for Lunch. I am down to $5.22 in CAD, so it must be time to depart Canada. We find the world's smallest XCing in VT.

This must be longest time we've spent crossing the border. The guy is fascinated by the bikes! Slow day I guess. We are only in VT for a handful of miles, then in NH. Yeah, two states in 10 mins!
Neat bridge!

Dinner a bit south of Mt Washington, at Red Fox. We waddled out of there, it was soooo good!

Get the calamari!
