They're All Fun....But, Some Days Are Less Fun than Others

The morning started out with the remnants of some overnight rain, which was all but done by the time we had to take the dogs out at 6. We repeated our walk of the campground from last evening, including the "vue panoramique" of Tadoussac harbor (see yesterday's entry). All in all, a good beginning to the day.

Meanwhile, John's eagle ears had detected a problem with the motor home a day or two ago, and he determined yesterday that the cause was a broken sway bar bolt (I'm quoting here). Although the situation was remedied with $3.00 worth of parts from a local hardware store and our own travelling master mechanic, it delayed our progress up along the east side of the Saguenay River and its well-advertised fjord.

Once we got going, the scenery along the Saguenay was beautiful, particularly at a village called Ste.Rose-du-Nord:

It wasn't long, however, before the wind picked up and the storm clouds started to roll in. These pictures were taken just minutes before we reached our campground for the night; the downpour, of course, waited until just as we got to our destination.
