Some town in Quebec, near the Gatineau Park

Continuing my foray into deepest Canada.....we drive to a quaint village near Gatineau. I can't recall the town's name, but in the midst of the snow it proved a wonderful haven to stop and have lunch in. Unfortunately, YouTube's compression takes the clarity and vividness out of the video image.

Ah yes! That explains the "Old Chelsea" reference on the sign at St. Stephens. Thank you Fausimo.

How far is this from Yellowknife?

[tydomin]

It's a long way from Yellowknife, but about 30 - 45 minutes from Ottawa.

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[TalkingWithMeRADIO]

you had a chance to escape Gatineau!!!!

[Buicknut67]

You drove into Old Chelsea from the Meech Lake road, which also takes you to Camp Fortune. Old Chelsea is 10-15 minutes North of Ottawa by way of highway 5 or highway 105.

You went past The Old Chelsea General Store, Chelsea's Pub, Pat Kelly's house, The Old Chelsea Public Library and St. Stephen's Catholic Church. You stood in thier cemetary, showed a Trudeau Grave Stone, and then went back to Chelsea's Pub at the end of Padden road. Any other questions?
