Mikel, can you estimate how old is that trail/road/highway? ...in that order of transformation...
Octagonal foundations of a tower at the Coteau-du-Lac National Historic Site. This represents an architectural tradition of the Knights Templar.

The order of the Temple is created in Jerusalem in 1099 and its armed wing, the Knights Templar, aims to protect the pilgrims in the Holy Land. This does not prevent them from conquering Palestine, establishing a multinational and having a large fleet. They join the other continents and, in less than two centuries, become immensely rich. In 1314, King Philip the Fair stops them and many end their day at the stake. Thousands more escape and settle in neighboring countries for a better life.
At their peak, they landed in New France and left many vestiges in the archives and in several old buildings spread over the territory of Quebec, and elsewhere in the Northeast. We recognize their passage through the red cross on the plans of Ville-Marie, in the ruins of very sophisticated forts in Montreal, as well as on the coast of New England and Newfoundland. A major discovery is that of a Templar post of a religious mission on the island of Chekoutimi, on the Saguenay River, facing the current city of La Baie (Chicoutimi). This mythical island is no more, but my research has rediscovered it.
Architects and experienced craftsmen, imbued with astronomy and mysticism, these pioneers-Templars have left traces in their buildings. They built tunnels and secret rooms.
How did the Knights Templar disappear? The Little Ice Age beginning around 1300 A.D. Bubonic plague? The hostility of the Indians?
In the Renaissance, the powers of Europe embark on the Great Discoveries. From France, kings send secret agents to search for sites that the Templars abandoned some 200 years ago in Nova Francia. We can follow the route of our discoverers gone in search of missing Templars.
Today, the links of Freemasons with the Templar tradition are fascinating to discover.

PS It ends right where Dog TTH is located. (+/-)
Anybody else on their trail?
The French, eh? (Québécois)
