        　　The Old Canada Roadis a ______ _____ between the Canadian province of
______ and ______, in the northeast corner of the United States.Yes, it really
was lost, and finding it again was a complex process that involved
state-of-the-art technology. How the location of the road was______was very
interesting, and I'll return to it as soon as I've given you a littlebackground
information.The road was begun in 1817, a few years before Maineeven became a
state. At the time, Quebec was amajor market for ______, crops, and fish, so a
road to Quebec was seen by officials in Maineas necessary for trade. For about
20 years, the movement of people and goods was mostly from Maine to Quebec,but
then the trend ______ as thousands of Canadians immigrated to Maine to escape
poorcrops, a lack of jobs, and the threat of disease. I think it was a ______
______.Besides these negative reasons, major building projects in Maine also
made the state very attractivefor the Canadians who needed work. I should
stress, though, that immigrationduring that period went in both directions. In
fact, the flow of people andgoods went completely ______. There wasn't even a
border post until around1850. The people of the time saw Maine and Quebec as a
single region, mainlybecause of the strong French influence, which is still
evident in Mainetoday.Eventually, the road fell into ______ as a major railway
was completed;finally, people simply forgot about it and that's how it came to
be lost. Thisbrings me back to the original topic.
