After Mistissini, I headed northwest towards James Bay, the southernmost part of Hudson Bay. The roads were very isolated but I got rides without too much difficulty.
Heading north.
On gravel roads.
The scenery looked exactly like this for about 10 hours.
Then we went to the dump for a bit of wildlife viewing.
Happy-looking bear.
Then suddenly I was on the shore of James Bay.
Squinting in the light.
Cree people’s boats.
Interesting architecture in Chisasibi.
Then it was many hours of this going south.
Big distances in every direction.
I camped by James Bay much further south, in the Cree community of Eastmain.
…which was beautiful but there sure were a lot of bugs!
And that’s all you’re getting.
Total distance hitchhiked: 5992 km.
