Bill, made it back home ok, (spent an 1 1/2 hours in Montreal traffic). Thanks again for everything, as always I had a great time. Enjoyed riding with everyone and meeting new riders. Enjoy the rest of the season, Dave

Hi Bill, I was wondering if the Delta will be setting up the "Saguenay Bill hotline" this year? Dave

Glad you made safely to paradise Bill, I always look forward to your daily reports. Enjoy! Dave

Hi Bill I'm thinkng east of the Delta on 83, am I headed in the right direction? Dave

There's nobody more deserving, congrats Bill, thanks for all you do for the region and us snowmobilers. Thanks for sharing this Ray. Dave

You are in our thoughts and prayers Bill, take care Dave Jesus said "I will come and heal him" Matt. 8:7

Welcome, it's a great product, works well.

Happy Birthday Bill, have a great day!! Dave

It looks like there is more snow there now than there was when I was there in February. Thanks for taking the time to post for all of us "april internet riders." I think I can speak for most and say, "wish we were there! Dave

Hi Ray, had a great time, I knew I was in good hands when everybody I was riding with a GPS but me, LOL When it comes to riding in the UP it's when you ride that is key. Let me start by saying the UP is no Quebec, not even close. But with that said the UP can be good. Before I started riding in Quebec I had spent years riding the whole UP. It was the challenge of riding in a different area that drove me to Quebec. One of the major differences is the amount of connector trails. In Quebec, even on the busiest days you can get out and away from the crowds if you choose, it is so vast. Sometimes in the UP if you want to get from point A to point B you might only have one choice. I would say the trails are better marked in Michigan than Quebec. In Michigan all intersections are clearly marked to help you decide which way you want to go and orange trail markers to remind you are on a trail. Also alot of "you are here" maps located on the trails. Just yesterday we drove 2 hours north to Grayling (in the lower penisula) started there and rode north to the Mackinac Bridge. We rode 226 miles and the trails were some of the best I've ridden in Michigan. All were perfectly groomed and we probably seen 15 sleds all day long, BUT that was a Tuesday in March, so again timing is the key. I think if your looking for something different and your trip includes some midweek riding you won't disappointed in what the UP has to offer. I hope this helps, best of riding wherever you decide, after all, any riding is good riding. Dave

Yes I did, the 402 was a slow go, but once I crossed the border I-69 was slower.

Bill, made it home ok. No problems through Toronto and then it started to snow. The last 4 hours were interesting to say the least. I arrived home around 11:30 p.m. We have about 5-6 inches of wet snow here. Thanks again for another great time. I enjoyed riding with you, 182ray, favorcat and Jack and Sandi (Jack get the X). I enjoyed meeting and talking to snomogary, pat and the gang. Great memories for sure! Thanks again, I appreciate it. Tell JD hi, Dave

Wow Jim, great report and pics. Those pics make you feel like your right there, thanks for taking the time to share. Now you go have a Coke, and tell Gemma to have a Pepsi. lol, Take Care Dave

Ha, ha Jim, brings back memories. lol We knew we were in trouble when the room to our door had a big boot print hole in it and the numbers to the room didn't match, but the topper was when we could here the guy snoring and burping in the next room. At least I can say I was in Parent once. I can laugh about it now. Dave

Bill, how much snow did you get, 8,9 or 10 inches? Dave

Thanks for posting Jack, I need my daily Quebecrider "fix". Dave

Bill how's that new sled working for you? Dave

Thanks for posting Jack and Sandi. I had to get the map out and follow along. I hope to be there the first part of February. Hi Dean, when are you planning on going? Dave

Best jam in North America, no doubt about it. Dave

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I've driven that stretch for the last 4 years. I can't imagine what it would have been like driving that when it was only 2 lanes. They did a nice job. Coming home this past February the temp dropped to -30 F for awhile in the higher elevations.

Happy Birthday Bill, that new sled makes a great birthday present (that's how I do it to!) Dave

Ray, what type of racing goes on at Daytona-Neige? Never heard of it. Dave

Sandi, are you and Jack both ordering new ones? I really liked the ride on Jacks renegade on the trails. How many miles did you and Jack ride this year? I know it was alot,lol. Best of luck, tell Jack hi, Dave

Yes you are a blest man Bill, you know what they say "behind every good man.....", and tell JD thanks for sharing you with all of of us sledheads. I think I can speak for most and say we appreciate all you do for the sport, you get my vote for the number 1 Ambassador of Snowmobling. Tell JD hi, and thanks for taking the time to post, I read them every day. Dave
