hi, i didn't want to completety hijack milli's thread, but am curious about your drive along the st. lawrence. do you recall about how long it took from quebec to fr. kent? can you see the river most of the time all along the road? there appear to be little towns along the way. are they big enough to have motels and restaurants? i'm thinking this could make nice 2 day drive for me later this summer. i am just west of bangor.
ha, i see what you were saying now in milli's post. i was looking on my maine map for some road i was unaware of that cut across the northwoods... obviously i did not find one. and yes from ft. kent south almost to bangor is nothing but trees.

Sorry Virginia, it was too many years ago to remember and things have probably changed a lot (except for all the pine trees from Fort Kent south). Maybe post the question on the Canadian board. After we left Quebec City we spent the next night in Presque Isle. We were pretty nervous about finding a place to stay.

It's about 175 miles, 3-1/2 hours.

Canadian Route 20 is very close to the river heading out of Quebec City. At Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatiere you can get on Canadian Route 132 which is riverside or almost for many, many miles.

There are some really good tour guides at the bookstore for seeing, doing, lodging, dining, shopping...in the area, such as "Quebec, Off the Beaten Path". Or, if you're a AAA member, the tour guide for the province is a terrific reference for lodging and dining.

thank you both. i will order "off the beaten path". this looks like a great drive.
