DesTination: Boscobel Ghost Town
« on: May 16, 2017, 10:04:19 PM »
What better way to start the riding season in earnest than by beginning with Quebec's various ghost towns with Bella, my Moto Guzzi V7 Racer. Admittedly, the decision was inspired by an article that I came across titled 9 Creepy But Beautiful Ghost Towns You Need To Visit In Quebec by Jeremy Hazan. Boscobel is listed as number 2 on Hazan's list. A quick Google search yielded some supporting evidence to the existence of this ghost town as both Katrina of Globeventures and another website by the name of Barraclou share some of the history along with various pictures of this otherwise obscure little area. So with a full tank of petrol, a fully charged camera and a beautiful day Bella and I set off this morning with high hopes of exploring a semi-abandoned village.

There Are MANY MANY pictures via the link as well! http://acorbinsayswhat.blogspot.ca/2017/05/destination-boscobel-ghost-town.html

Dusty - Cheers! Thought it would make for a fun summer.

guzzisteve - I noticed that when writing the bog. I'll have to get my passport in order and visit the Boscobel in WI someday!
