We are further north and east in Quebec now, out of the Gatineau region and into the Laurentians.
Today started off beautifully, with clear skies and no wind. We pedalled into Maniwaki and munched on an early lunch. An hour later the skies had clouded up and it started raining. Our road out of Maniwaki was highway 107. This is a secondary highway and turned out to be more hilly than highway 105. The rain only lasted for a while, luckily for us.
We passed through the village of Aumond. Laura and Leddy kept pedalling, while I was distracted by the ruins of an old water driven sawmill. I only had a few minutes to look at it, otherwise those two will be too far down the road for me to catch up.
I've included a photos of a church in the distance (at Maniwaki), the old sawmill building and an interseting road sign. We've seen this a number of times in Quebec already.

Is that a ski-doo sign?

It is a skidoo sign. They are all over the place in Quebec. Hi Laura and Greg. Wish I had known you were ging to the Maniwaki area.You rode past my brother's place and my sister"s place and were not far from my Mom's and my other sister's place. You could have stayed at any of the places.
I grew up in Maniwaki.
Take care and enjoy the Route Verte and the rest of your Quebec trip. You won't find much better area to cycle. Visit all the covered bridges you can. They are all really neat.
