THANK YOU wng-2!! Snappy Hank

Do you have the name of this dealer that has that sled? Snappy Hank

Good morning Alain, Another great report by you and the Mrs.! Glad to see you were able to get out. However, I saw a post from someone yesterday, that Real had passed. Have not seen anything official, however, if you could confirm this, and possibly post the obituary, that would be great. My condolences go out to Nancy and family, such great people, and such a beautiful spot they have there. It’s always a pleasure to go there, as you say, their food is outstanding, very kind staff, and great accommodations. Real can be very proud of his accomplishment there! Thanks, Hank

Went by Laglaciere on Friday a.m., corral was packed with trucks and trailers Hank

I was there on Thursday afternoon for dinner around 5pm. I didn't ask what their schedule is, but someone at Lecabanon said they are open from Thursday thru Sunday. Probably the best way to find out is to give them a call, and then you will know for sure. Snappy Hank

Nice report Alain. We probably crossed paths that day as we did almost the same route. We encountered a big moose between the 23/350 intersection and Laglaciere! Couldn’t tell if it was male/ female as it was going away from us. We waited a few minutes, and it went off the trail, so we proceeded with caution as we couldn’t see any footprints. Biggest one I’ve ever seen!! We made our way to Coin Lavigne and then down 63 through Domaine Bazinet, over to Mandeville and back up 343/350/23 to Real Masse for dinner, and arrived back to Lecabanon around 6:30 with 145 miles on for the day. Met up with the groomer as we got back on 23, for smooth sailing back in. Due to the FREE WEEKEND I left for home on Friday a.m. Hank

I take the pledge also. Additionally, you should have seen the short video when you applied for your trail permit.

Nice report Alain! I arrived on Sunday and had a very good week. Unfortunately the sun and daylight hours are quickly taking over the road crossings, definitely need wheels. Still a huge amount of snow left, and grooming continues. Snappy Hank

Oxygen helmets are reportedly going to have a built in communicator system next year. Price point for the helmet is going to be around 1000 bucks U.S. Pretty pricey with too much technology to go wrong. Maybe that’s why they’re offering 30% off, trying to get rid of all the old stock.

Where is this located?

I find that I must speak out about this topic because in all fairness, this goes on in this country as well. As an example there were 600 vehicles stolen in Monmouth County NJ in 2022. That’s just one county out of 50 states. Portland Oregon is being ravaged by car jacking and vehicle thefts right now on a daily basis. We really need the teeth put back in our law enforcements hands with stronger and stiffer penalties again. We don’t know all the circumstances of this latest theft at Lac Blanc. Very difficult to think keys were left in vehicle. I would like to know the statistics or percentage of sleds and vehicles stolen in Canada. Personal security must be taken with the utmost importance wherever you travel. LOCK UP YOUR BELONGINGS, DO NOT LEAVE KEYS IN VEHICLES OR PERSONAL INFORMATION!!

Nice picture! Enjoy the ride!

Hey Snowmaster! we are looking for info update on the new owners. I haven’t been up since Covid. I’m looking forward to getting back to my favorite corner in the dining room by the bar. I understand that Frank is no longer there, who is cooking and waiting on tables? I’m still up here in Big Moose Lake, (near Old Forge), hoping things are getting back to the old norm up there. Snappy Hank

Hoping that Towing will chime in here with any news from Lecabanon. Hank
