#3 - Pont de la Calamité in LaSarre - June 29, 2008
Built in 1927, it is 122 feet long and crosses la Rivère Des Méloizes. We visited when we went up to LaSarre to visit Serge's grandmother. There are many covered bridges in the area but we were a little too busy visiting with family to get to see more. When we talked about this one Juliette (Serge's mother) said that she used to cross this bridge often as it lead to her family's home when she was a child!
So when we decided to go out to see it we went with Gilles and Juliette, and she dragged Josée, Jean and their kids with us for a picnic! LOL I don`t think it was really their kinda thing but Juliette seemed happy that we were interested in her family land. We crossed it and went to visit where she grew up. The house burned down but there is still an old barn and some old farming equipment. It started to rain before we could have our picnic so we rushed back to Juliette`s sister`s house and ate there but went out to get this picture later in the afternoon, just the 5 of us. Then we kept going a few kms from there to the next one on the road.
