Ep13 Homeward Bound from the Caniapiscau reservoir

In this episode I begin my journey home from the end of the Trans Taiga Rd past the dam in Caniapiscau and find an observatory (??) at one of the lookouts along the way. The Trans-Taiga Road is an extremely remote dead-end gravel road that runs 666 km east from the 544km marker of the Billy Diamond Parkway formerly named the James Bay Rd. There are no settlements or towns aside from Hydro Quebec's residence for workers (not open to the public). At the far end you will be 745 km from the nearest town! This is the farthest you can get from a town on a road in North America! Although there are no towns, there are a couple of outfitters along the way that sell fuel and offer meals and lodging. Along this road is also the farthest north point you can travel on a road in eastern Canada. Cell phones do not work here. My favorite quote from the James Bay Road website "Bears live here" Taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. ... The soil beneath the taiga often contains permafrost—a layer of permanently frozen soil. Resources: James Bay Road website https://www.jamesbayroad.com/ttr/inde...
