From Grenville to Carillon, one of my favourite roads, the 344, though it had gotten busier over the years.
Last picture was the Old Stone Store, at the time the longer operating store in Canada. Was operated by some aunt/grand mother type that had great ice cream, home made cakes etc from the community. Wooden floors crackling, and she had old style mechanical cash regiter with the crank. It closed and building purchased by yuppies from Montréal who used it as a home.

One reason i was always enamored with that stretch of the 344 is that on the paper topo maps, i still showed the railway passing behind the old store store, and there were many "village" names along that 19km stretch between Carrilon and Grenville, names that are mosty gone because jpw all "Chatham" due to forced mergers. However Canadian topo maps still show Cushing (where store is) and Greece,s point and Stonefield.
