3 p.m. yesterday. Very sad that Jean-Guy is not there this winter.
ah….the memories

93 from Chibougamau to Matagami was damn near mint the whole way. We passed at least three groomers. As always, Chapais had the best trails. Staying at a Gite in Matagami tonight $$$ and no supper just breakfast.          

Leaving Chib and heading to Matagami this am.

It is an 850 x terrain not mine It is my riding buddy’s Chris. Its working well, so far he’s pleased.

Also it was exactly 40 miles to the “closed” lumber mill that had plenty of people at it and LOTS of logs piled up. 

Tonight we are at the Nordic in Chibougamau, marina was full…bummer. The trail up was good and fresh groomed but if a little 80’s style bush scares you then wait because some sections had stubble sticking up. http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_01/IMG_1528.thumb.jpeg.d810bf296a865540d6e11f8d177bf471.jpeg

We bought fuel for our sleds and spare cans and you can order whatever for supper but I would say $175 Canadian including breakfast and supper etc…but they gave us a lot of food and put us in a large lodge. English was ok, 3 young guys from France doing the cooking and helping out. Real nice and the cream of onion soup was outstanding!!

That little cabin was at Domain Edouard. Pourviere La Dore is the pic with the Christmas tree. I was going to take some food porn pics for you Chris but I was to hungry!!  It is about 15 miles of the 93 north when you pass the power line on the way to Chibougamau, just a white square sign on your left, then it’s a small bush trail for 14km to get here. 

Shaw to Lac Edouard was so so. Left Sunday am from Domain Edouard ended up at Pourvorie La Dore tonight awesome place!! Most of 355 was good fields around LSJ ok but warmth will kill them quickly if it happens. 93 was good so far. 

Picture was from Monday - 29jan. I’d bet another week of work but the deck is 75% done just the approaches and railing left. Forgot to get some more pictures.

Tonight we are at the Nordic in Chibougamau, marina was full…bummer.

Yep. And the owner just returned with super in jugs so we used that. Not sure exactly how much they charge per gallon it was on our bill.
