Total Mileage:3670
Wowsers, what a long day! We all knew it would be long day, but it was actually grueling. About 480 miles total and 50/50 dirt tarmac. The Nord road was probably the best high-speed gravel road you'd ever see.
Since we were adventuring touring (hoteling it), we don't have any options. We need to jump from Radisson into Chibougamau, as those are the two nearest towns with lodging. It's know to the a long day. And boy does she deliver. If you were camping, this can easily been broken into 2 sections.
We had a long road to go, and a short time to get there, so not a lot of time to gaffo. However, Mr. McKenney was kind enough to remind me that if I don't bullshit with everyone at the gas stations, the day would probably go faster. In literature, I believe this juxtaposition is a called an irony.
We stopped at the corner of the James Bay Rd and the Nord Road to have a quick bite. This little guy joined us for lunch too. We'd throw chips and he'd swoop in to get them. I think he was storing them in a nearby tree.
Lots of rock that fractures on lines. Makes for good inutchuk making!
Ruppert the river upsteam. Not such a wild monster!
The geek inside me loves the look of the high power lines.
We assume that is a step-up transformer station, but who knows?
Big rivers:
I agree broadsiding a moose would be risqué!
