In case you are visiting from somewhere else on planet earth
2 mo is short for Two-Mountains. Two Mountains which officially called Deux-Montagnes because of the language issues around Quebec is located about 24 km (16 miles) northwest of downtown Montreal, Quebec Canada at the point where the Lake of Two Mountains turns into the Mille-Iles (Thousand Island) river. For those of you with GPS units, it is at N45 32.153 W73 54.033. These particular co-ordinates will lead you to the steps of the Tartan Pub which is considered by many as the center of Two Mountains the universe. For people that are into geocaching you will find a cold beer at this place and you may leave your cache (cash) there in return. Tell 'em Paul sent you.
The train is the most direct link to Montreal as it is only a 24km ride while the drive can be anywhere from 30 to 45 km depending on the roads you choose. Its population is around 17,000 with about 20% Anglophone. Until 1963 it was called St-Eustache-sur-le-lac (on the lake) and it was mainly comprised of cottages for people of Montreal. Since then, cottage country has migrated north quite a bit.
For more information go to the official Deux-Montagnes city site.
