"Le Pont De Quebec, Bridge Quebec, Canada"Side note: This is one of the smoothest bus rides taken this winter. It was surprisingly nice, considering we had the young sort of 'punk-ass' bus driver and he was honking almost the entire way to school. I started the red marker on the shorts the person is wearing in the photo.

Utilizing several highways that describe a loop through the impressive Davis Mountains, the route is an easy way to absorb great quantities of scenery. During each fall and winter season hunters are attracted by plentiful mule deer and pronghorn antelope."
