The Road To Mary Ann's Cove

This rough woods road is somewhat like the roads that connected the small communities here in the early 1900s - only instead of the fairly young regrowth forest you see here those early roads were lined mostly with mature forest that would enclose the road even more than you see across the dash of my truck in the above photo.  When I first moved here back in the 70s the 'back' roads from Grand River to Pt. Michaud and to L'Archeveque were still single lane ventures.  The crowding brushy small spruce and alder have taken their toll on the sides of my pick-up that's for sure.

In the top photo you can see a bit of the ocean in the distance - as this woods grows and matures that view will disappear.
