Perils of travel in Québec

 MÉTIS, QC -- Along the north coast of the Gaspé Peninsula, we often found ourselves driving on a seawall between the ocean and a tall cliff.
 We are accustomed to avalanche warning signs, like the one above, which came just before a similar sign with a snowflake added.  No worries on that Monday.
 But the sign in the lower picture was a new one.  Fortunately we  transited a number of these zones without the Magic Bus becoming an ark.
