Pont Caron

#17 - Pont Caron in Val Alain - December 12, 2009

After having some hot chocolate, we drove off to find our next bridge. This one was kinda on the way back to the highway. Built in 1933, it is 81 feet long and crosses the Grande Riviere du Chene. It seemed so boring after the last one we saw...It looks kinda blueish though, which makes it different. We did go out into the field a little to get a nice side picture.

It's funny, I had read that it has a mailbox tucked inside and thought it was ironic that the address on the mailbox is the same address as the house that has "no parking" and "private property" signs all over the yard!!!

We took our family picture in the beautiful late afternoon sun and then caught the highway and drove home! We managed to visit 3 out of 5 planned for the day, but with the sun setting around 4:30pm in December, we have less time in the day. That's ok, we will have to set out again on another day!

Serge and I discussed the fact that these would be our last bridges for 2009...we visited 13 this year! Then we remembered the one just a few minutes away from the ferry that we take to go to his parents' house and we decided that if the weather permits, we will try to get it in on December 31st when we go up for New Year's Eve! :0)
