To the Mountain

         A.T. graciously piloted Anna and Queen Victoria at the front of the trishaw to the group's destination of Mont Royal.   The route taken was tried and true.   Along the de Maisonneuve path, up the Parc avenue path, and then along the sinuous Olmsted road.   Tibbs was the caboose for the group and photographer.   The destination was the open field behind the belvedere building above Mountain street.  Maybe it was the last pic-nick of the year.   There were great views in all directions.
