Patrick M. O’Reilly xx xxxxxxxxxx xx. xxxxx xxxxxx, NY xxxxx Dear Sirs; I write to ask you to reconsider the recent prohibition wherein snowmobiles equipped with studs are prohibited from crossing roadways at trail / road junctions. Snow machines outfitted with studs have in part made the snow machine industry much safer. To encourage persons to operate snow machines without studs is at a minimum negligent as accidents and deaths, as they are associated with snowmobiles will increase . Please reconsider this recent law change. If enforced the recent law will have a ripple effect on the Quebec economy as it relates in part to tourism, snow machine registrations and lodging. For further comment I may be reached at pmoreilly@optonline.net . or by U.S. mail at xx xxxxxxxxxx xx, xxxx xxxxxx. Thank you for your time and concern on this matter. Respectfully and sincerely, Patrick M. O’Reilly On behalf of the Transport Minister, Mr. Robert Poëti, I acknowledge receipt of your message. Rest assured that we will take your comments into consideration. Sincerely yours, Adjointe du directeur de cabinet Cabinet du ministre des Transports et ministre responsable de la région de Montréal Édifice de la Haute-Ville 700, boulevard René-Lévesque Est 29e étage Québec (Québec) G1R 5H1 Téléphone : 418 643-6980 Télécopieur : 418 643-2033

As everyone here knows the FCMQ needs to burn the midnight oil to make a wrong a right. I sent my brief note / objection to ministre@mtq.gouv.qc.ca I hope others do as well....

Thank you ! Have a great season.

Thanks for the briefing. We are jealous. "We met the new owner of la cache, a young man seemed very nice. He said he was going to try to make some improvements, it could use a couple LOL." Are you referring to Le Relais de la Cache ? The only fuel stop between north and south on 595 between New Richmond & Matane (More or less)? If so, we are fortunate someone picked it up. Thanks....

Great news ! Thank you...

Just peeking to see if JG was sharing any damage control / current reports..... Curiosity is painful.... As of 5pm Pittsburg NH received nearly 1" of rain. Thank you....Paddy O

Merry Xmas all ! Groomer thank you for the wonderful photos. 70+-F here in N.Y.C. yesterday. Tough to imagine you were out grooming. Pittsburg NH where we have a camp, some 400 + miles from you has NO snow as it was 56.F there yesterday - 12 / 24 / 2015. . From October till present we have had only a total of 11.5" of snow fall ( www.johnsnhweather.com ). Disappointing to say it lightly, as at this time of the year we generally have a fair base. Again, thank you for all the images. Ride safe - all. Keep it on the trail ! Merry Xmas ..... Paddy O

Wishing you were re-living December 07 history today ....Plenty of time ahead ....Stay safe all ....Paddy O

The phone booth was a great photo....I was waiting for superman aka Jean Guy to step out after changing from logger to groomer to save the trails.....Great images....Thank you..

November 5, 2015 Jean-guy, Many thanks, My Quebec seasonal trail pass arrived today. Thank you for the promptness ! You made the process very simple. You are the man ! Paddy O

Beautiful !

Thank u....The heart is pumping again..Ha Ha

Sweet ! Promising

Wonderful photos. When viewing this thread I find the time spent is very tranquil - albeit short - in such a hectic world we live in that is sadly currently filled with anger & selfishness. Many thanks for sharing daily. Paddy O PS...Visited camp in Pittsburg NH the last few days. Woke to 29F temps and frost. The leaves are just beginning to turn. : ) Stay safe all.

I see the photo of the shed. Nice. Is it safe to assume you find many?

Wow. Spectacular. Thanks for the treat..

I thought of Jean-Guy when I came across this video while researching enclosed snowmobile / motorcycle trailers. Jean-Guy may consider adding this machine to his bucket list. I wonder if it comes with a groomer attachment? Stay well all. Paddy O https://youtu.be/j2SwTK6p72U

No surprise - GREAT PHOTOS - Thank you Groomer... I had a few minutes to peruse forum - curios to see what goes on during summer months. Groomer you are no slacker..Stay safe in those woods. Paddy O

Routhierville population trend:[6] Population in 2011: 15 (2006 to 2011 population change: 200.0%) Population in 2006: 5 Population in 2001: 25 Population in 1996: 24 Population in 1991: 40 Private dwellings occupied by usual residents: 8 (total dwellings: 15) ********************************************************************************************** Referencing your post about visiting Routhierville curiosity got the best of me so I researched Routhierville and one of the stats that popped up was the population. Looks lonely. Population dropping like snow depth in the month of May. What time is rush hour? Ha ha.... Happy belated birthday and thanks again for taking the time to post / share your adventures. Best regards, Paddy O a.k.a NYSKIDOOERINNEWHAMPSHIRE

Very kind words all. Linda I wouldn't be opposed to trying to make the next "gathering." Jean-Guy thanks for the response referencing the deer and additional photos. Paddy O'Reilly

I don't know any of you folks but yet I feel I do. I look forward to viewing the photos & reading your posts. Having been taken by surprise and personally experienced drifts like the ones depicted in your photos the week of Valentines Day 2015 after leaving Sainte-Anne-des-Monts I have a true appreciation for the amount of work it takes to traverse trails like that, let alone trying to groom them. Thanks to each of you for the photos and suggestions based on your personal experiences. Keep the pictures / posts coming. Your knowledge & experiences are worth sharing. Paddy O - White Plains NY P.S. Jean-Guy why do you think the deer was jumping straight up in the photo? Eating from a branch? Great photo.

Good luck.

The identical scenario involving DOO occurred at last weeks Swift Diamond Rider Sno-Deo held at Coleman State Park in NH. SKI-DOO had no '16's in the demo fleet. In part, for that reason I chose not to purchase a 2016 sled, saving me a bundle of $$$$. DOO's loss, my gain as I had every intent on purchasing a new sled this year. Ill stick with what I already have ..... 2 - 13 ACE Renegades, 1 x14 GSX SE & 1 x 15 GSX SE.

Thank you & more importantly thanks to the others - our new friends - who helped us out. Yes we will be back.
