Miller signed books on Wednesday night at White Birch Books in North Conway Village, and will be signing books Saturday, July 31, at Borders and Friday, Aug. 6, at the Book Warehouse, both in North Conway. For more information on the book, go to www.arcadiapublish- ing.com. Better yet, head to your local bookstore and pick up a copy. ▲

Right: Opening any page of Jim Miller’s ‘Story Land’ is a trip down fantasy memory lane. The photos on these pages show Cinderella’s Pumpkin Coach, which was drawn by live horses through the 1979 season. Above the book are more current photos, one a personal photo from the 1980s, the other, right, from 2006 of Liz Labonte of Berlin as Cinderella. Miller’s book is a great reference to use in order to put a year on all those personal Story Land photos you’ve taken — or were taken of you — over the years.

Today,W we hope to bike some along the coasts on the north and south sides of the Parc Forillon. We haven’t ridden in five days, as we were mak- ing the move from the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean area on the north coast of the St. Laurence to the Gaspé, which required a lengthy ferry ride and a two-day drive along the most spectacular coastline found anywhere. In the Seguenay-Lac Saint- Jean region, we camped for five days just outside the Parc de la Pointe-Taillon in the town of Ste.

Page A24 - The Mountain Ear, Thursday, July 29, 2010 down to the lodge, but most of the trails we rode were either X-C ski trails or jeep/ATV roads. A couple of nice looking red trail loops left the campsite and climbed several hundred meters before looping back. From looking at the map, I assumed the climb would be on a gravel road — correct — then, the downhill return would be on single-track — wrong. The return legs were eroded ATV trails that we often had to walk to get through loose, rocky sections. We sampled (by accident) a few of the bottom sections of the true downhill trails near the lodge, but alas, downhilling is not our sport. It takes only one plunge down a 30-foot long, mud crusted slab with a huge berm at the bottom to convince me that that sport is best left to the youth. We enjoyed observ- ing the armored youth on their Riding the stone dust paths in the Parc de la Pointe-Taillon.

The Peribonka River formed the delta which is the Pointe Taillon. The “taillon” (talons) are finger dunes now forested with a thick growth of gray pine interspersed with prairie-like open areas of peat bog. The riding through the open areas in the high sun was harsh, but very pleasant in the evening. Moose, which the French call “orignaux,” are said to abound in the park, but we saw only tracks. Signs along the highway warn drivers to have “Prudence! Les orignaux intruder!” Lac-Saint-Jean is a huge lake set in rolling, agricultural terrain. The lake is fed by dozens of rivers, some of con- siderable size. We rode a sec- tion of the Veloroute, called the “Au Fil des Riviers” (flow along the rivers), to an impressive chutes (falls) in the Riviere Mistassini, which flows down- stream through the town of Dolbeau-Mistassini and into the northwest end of the lake. I estimate the Mistassini is big- ger than any river in New Hampshire, maybe two or three times as big as the Androscoggin. The rivers are said to abound with seasonal runs of spawning Atlantic salmon, which are highly prized by sport fishermen. The spawning salmon are protected by a complicated system of reg- ulations requiring an angler to apply for a license through an outfitter, etc, etc. – tres difficile. Anyway, we didn’t see any fish in the rivers as we rode by. Lac-Saint-Jean is a mecca for the enthusiastic Québec bicyclists, most of whom seem to favor hybrid style bikes with fatter tires, flat handlebars, and rear racks — utilitarian
