The adventure begins about two hours NW of Ottawa just beyond the Bryson House in Fort Colonge, Quebec. Grab a right off Rt. 148 onto Chemin Bois Frank. A few km down the road turn left on Chemin Lac

Jim and head for the bush. Soon the road turns to a maintained [?] gravel road. Watch for deer and turtles - and logging trucks trailed by a hugh dense cloud of road dirt (known locally as "the wall of death").

After 72 km of washboard, sand, ruts, and rocks, we head right onto Rue Bryson toward Bryson Lake Lodge. Another ten or more km we find our route (no more than a rough trail) cutting off to the left and the real fun begins.

The road is little more than a remnant, lots of rocks and boulders, mud axle deep, removal of the occassional tree limb required, grass and trees three feet high in the middle of the road, and some areas washed out by recent rains. Needless to say, four wheel drive is required and GPS is a real help in determining which forks to take. [Next]
