Wow rode from Forestville the the Ferry in BC last night. Trails were good considering.  There were a couple spots starting to bare up, certainly surprised it is showing yellow and red today.  

Absolutely awesome! glad to see you two enjoying yourselves.

Interesting development.  Running a 650km loop north of Lab city, coming back to lab city due to no snow on the south coast.  Then heading for Goose Bay and the north coast.  If you haven't download the yellowbrick road app.  Will be interesting to watch.  Race starts tomorrow morning.  10 am local time in Lab City I believe.

SEPAQ….. that is a government agency correct? (Sarcasm intended). WTF!   Thank goodness for the snowmobilers.

Unreal but not surprising sadly 
Wes they manage the parks and wildlife reserves, so if a tree was injured then they could probably do something but doubtful.
People they are not interested in them. 

I was seriously considering heading to the Island back to St. Croix USVI. Instead of this sled ride. 
 
Felt warm like the island this afternoon but trails will survive at least until Monday and that’s all we all looking for. Cannot have high expectations this year. Limited good trail. We aint looking for marginal. 
 
We got more than good.
little peek 👀 more later
 
 

2003   Blew piston at end of Quebec airport,  solo,  first sled to come by ( guy from Montreal) towed me to Quebec Inn. Wrecker company showed up with a pick up truck and gave me 2 1/2 hour ride to Maine border for $250.
2004    Blew  Arctic Cat chain  case right next to Yammi dealer near Montmagny.  Took apart and dealer could not fix.  Dealer had wife drive me and sled to Maine border ( 3 hrs.),   sled labor and ride $250.  (I was with Rob Lyons and his crew at the time).
Best one was in Maine 1971 doing 2 day saddlebag Eustis to Jackman and return.  Four Dads & 4 teens. 30 miles before Jackman couldn't get across a lake due to heavy slush. No other way to get to Jackman and not enough gas to return to Eustis. Went to nearby Holeb, middle of no where Maine widerness with a few camps and lumber mill. Mill owner had no gas but stuffed us all into his Suburban and gave us the most harrowing ride to Jackman on a 25 mile  mountainous logging road, bare ice. Pulling into the hotel we got stopped by a trooper and the mill owner got bagged for OUI.  My dad and I drove him back to his mill and we stayed over night at his trailer. Next day the hotel owner gathered volunteers to drive the rest of the gang to the mill and brought along gas.  Cost:  we paid for the mill owner's bail to get out of jail and big tips for the Jackman folks who helped us.

You came late and went early
thankful for our 8 day rip and was sure to get one more in
not so
congrats to everyone who squeezed in some decent rides here and there
Lowest number miles. >1400 in the last 30 years
had fun though and looking forward to next year 

Back home on the black trail today no issues. Left Amos at 3am in a mini blizzard when I got to Syracuse it was 70  , what a winter. Driving though tug hill area couldn’t help but notice there was no snow at all at end of February that has to be a rare rare feat they get the most snow anywhere on the east coast thanks to lake effect. Total miles for the trip was 1500 all of which was great I love the area and will definitely be back!

Great time sledding with the solid boyz from New Hampshire, Vermont, and  Quebec.
Long last reunion with Team Vermont who are the king of Forest road travelers.
Perfect weather and snow conditions 7 day Excursion.
Had a enjoyable perfect 2 week season.
Looking forward season 2025
