When you come up the other side there is (or was, at that time) a small patch of light industrial (welding services, body shops and such) and residential, but no place to warm up, grab a soup or coffee, that sort of thing.
Ha, I've been there, and pretty close to that time, also! I spent a couple months in Redcliff (just north-ish of The Hat) back when I was in my late teens. I was staying with a close friend and her family who had just moved there. I remember driving up and down that river valley area on the highway between the two communities - many, many times!
Also, mentioning Great Big Sea, we stopped to visit Alan Doyle's hometown (Petty Harbour, Newfoundland) the last time we were out that way. It was a misty summer morning.
I loved these cod and puffin chairs!
