Waskaganish Airport (YKQ)

Waskaganish, Quebec

June 27 - July 07, 2011


An airport installation at Waskaganish, QC located by the Rupert River on James Bay.  I was able to meet Neil in Toronto on his way back from Germany.  It was the beginning of many hours of sitting in the car with 1,250km from Pearson Airport to Waskaganish. See map.  But we were able to complete the project with a lot of sight-seeing along the way.
