As I am driving down from the far north to be at this most important event, I take the drive as an entertaining sidebar. Who knows what I may see or find. Last weeks trip to Montreal was wrought with many rocks, trees, lakes, more rocks, more trees and more lakes. The only curiousity was the wild turkey gawking at me from the roadside. Too bad he didn`t step out...
Anyhow, my question
how far is Hammond from Laval?
am I better to drive down through central Quebec to Ottawa or take the Ontario route via North Bay, the river and follow down thorugh Petawawa and Arnprior???

Chris ..
Where are you located when you start this trek...??
Sounds like you are in Moosonee or Chibougamou and want to start from there..
I know where you want to go but can't tell where you are from the posting..
If you are in Laval you sure don't want to go through North Bay and if you are in Georgetown area,go 401-416 to Ottawa,through Ottawa to Cheny...30 KM EAST of Ottawa and 10KM north of the 417...
Cheney to Laval about 40KM less that Ottawa-Laval...
here are directions from 417...
Thanks to Rob Clarke...
Print these out..
Where the hell is Hammond? Hammond is a nice little town in Eastern Ontario close to Chateau Carriere. In fact, Bob lives between the villages of Cheney and Hammond.
The best routes to access Bob's BBQ/campsite are along highway 417. Route cards (marked BB1 with directional arrows) will be posted along the route at major intersections, starting at the major exits.
The routes to Bob's place are quite easy to follow.
From the West:
Follow 417 through Ottawa. Continue on 417 towards Montreal.
Take Exit 96 at Carlsbad Springs or Exit 88 at Vars.
From the East:
Follow 417 West towards Ottawa .
Take Exit 79 at Limoges or Exit 88 at Vars.
At the Exits, look for the BB1 Route Markers, eg:
From Exit 96 (Carlsbad Springs) proceed North to intersection of road 26. Turn right (East) on 26 and drive to the village of Cheney. As you approach Cheney, you will see a government surplus outlet on the left side of the road. Continue East at a reduced speed and look for an intersection (Drouin Road) located between a corner store/gas station and a restaurant (Chez Marie). Turn left (North) on Drouin and follow the route markers.
From Exit 88 (Vars) proceed North on 33 to intersection of road 26. Turn right (East) on 26 and drive to the village of Cheney. As you approach Cheney, you will see a government surplus outlet on the left side of the road. Continue East at a reduced speed and look for an intersection (Drouin Road) located between a corner store/gas station and a restaurant (Chez Marie). Turn left (North) on Drouin and follow the route markers
From Exit 79 (Limoges) proceed North on 37 to intersection of road 26. Turn right (East) on 26 and drive to the village of Cheney. As you approach Cheney, you will see a government surplus outlet on the left side of the road. Continue East at a reduced speed and look for an intersection (Drouin Road) located between a corner store/gas station and a restaurant (Chez Marie). Turn left (North) on Drouin and ...you get the picture.
