We got up early and headed back home to New Hampshire. Just north of Quebec City, we stopped at the waterfalls called Chute-Montmorency. These falls are impressive to see and if you get there early enough you can avoid having to pay the fee to get in.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable trip. We saw a lot of great scenery, two moose, one wolf, and caught lots of fish. We were already planning our 2017 trip on our ride home. If you were ever planning on traveling to the area we visited and have any questions, feel free to comment on this blog and I would be happy to help. Stay tuned for our blog of our 2017 trip back to The Big Land.
On our ride back to the States from Labrador City, we came across this wolf in Northern Quebec. We were somewhere between Fire Lake and Gagnon. This is the third wolf my father has seen on his trips to Labrador throughout the years, and my first.
Sorry for the shakey video, the car was moving and I didn't want to miss getting this video.
We drove from Labrador City all the way to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre, which was about 14 hours. We got a hotel room and went to see and take pictures of Saint Anne's well known church.
We stayed at Motel Joanne for the night. Each time we stayed here the owners were great to deal with and for the price it was worth it. We paid a little less than $100 Canadian. The exchange rate from the American dollar to the Canadian dollar was better this year than last year. It was +28 cents on the dollar.
This was our last day of our trip in Labrador City. We decided to spend the first half of the day fishing at our most productive spots. We drove into the Dolomite Bridge to start the day. My father caught these two "twin" lake trout within the first hour.
On our way back into town, we had to stop a The Narrows for one last try. On my first cast I caught this nice 5 pound laker.
We decided to end our fishing on this high note. We spent the afternoon visiting with family and friends and got ready for our trip back to the States.
We decided to spend the day Geocaching around Labrador City and the Wabush area. Overall, the weather was decent. There were a few quick passing showers. The black flies in the bush were thick but we had our Thermacells which kept them at bay for the most part.
We searched for over a dozen Geocaches. Some were definitely harder to find than others, and some we never found. We brought with us an ammo can to put out our own Geocache for others to find. Inside we put a trackable coin, a log book, a first to find button, and a couple other trinkets. Here is the link to my Geocache: Off The Beaten Path
This is us pointing to the hidden cache. If you like hiking and treasure hunting, then you should try Geocaching. It's a lot of fun to do with friends and family. Go to geocaching.com to learn more about this.
