Boy it isn't going to take much to see Mike pack his bags and head for RDL. LOL. I think he's one of them 20,000.

Back in the late 80's early 90's we had a group that went fishing in out post lakes north of Parent.  I remember flying over Parent and seeing acres and acres of timber piled up in Parent. Only reason I know it was Parent was because the pilot told me. I don't know if that still happens now but it must of been really busy back then.  

As for riding on the Gaspie peninsula I always remember in 2005 I was living in north Carolina and my oldest son called and had me fly home and we went Quebec for a ride. I remember we were in Clova and there was a gentleman there that I asked where his best experience was.  He told me the Gaspie peninsula.  He then told if I ever got to the peninsula please say a prayer for him because that's the closest that I will ever get to heaven.  Since then we have been there many times and I never forget what he told me.  Of course he was right.

I have a nephew who has a Polaris who needs the update done. Problem is the dealer can't get the parts.  Plus they have to see the sled and then order. And then they keep the sled until they can fix it.  They have to take pictures of the work done and send to Polaris.  Now the problem happens when you start the sled.  Something about static electricity in the fuel pump in the tank. They also say , as in the dealer,  only a very few sleds need the update.  How to hell can a company get away with this shit. So we decided he starts and loads his sled first and then we load and he doesn't start his until we unload. Sounds fair to me. Lol

Myself I like to tow with about 6 feet of rope, just enough so the snow comes off the towing sled track hits the hood of the towed sled and the over the wind shield and into the guys lap. He must pay for not doing something that caused him to be towed. Best if it's one of your kids. Lol

I heard Snow master was there favorite customer. Really 

I have both and have used both at different times.  The passport going by car and going by boat I only used the enhanced driver's license.  One of the boys that go with us got a pass card and had no problems going by car. Now the enhanced license and pass card we did use before covid.  Only our experience. They are NY State issued and crossing only at customs on Hill Island at the end of rt. 81.

I do remember one time going through customs the agent gave us the quote that David could go snowmobiling but I had to go home.  Reason was I had never signed my passport.  I jumped out of the truck and ran around to his window and said give me a pen. Amazingly he laughed and said you must really like snowmobiling because you really had a scared look on your face. I signed it and away we went. I thing I made his day.

Should be lots of snow for trail packing.  Hopefully not too late, I think around here it's going to get very interesting.

It's a long day but the Gouin resoirvior is a adventure you won't ever forget,  300 plus miles from Val Dor. The Walleye dinner is special.

My question also is, do you get a cab ride or ride on your sled. Lol. 

Well my hope was crushed. Map shows closed today.  Good part is the shuttle service phone number is listed.  I

Am I missing something here. I just noticed on the map that they are not showing any trail closing east of Forestville. Did something happen?  I hope.

Is this bridge for snowmobiles and ATV traffic only. Looks like it isn't big enough for logging trucks.  

Another thing I remember was there was a beaver pond there and for some reason I think the beavers built their dam on or close to the trail. Anyway when the trail was groomed they groomed right on top of the dam. Also the beavers house had to 15 feet high.  I trapped beavers and I never seen a house that huge before. 
  It was , and I admit, the scariest ride I think we were ever on. We felt we were truly in a place we shouldn't be after we got to Matagami. 

In 2007 or 08 my son and i rode out of LA Sarre on a trail going north to Matagami.  I remember stopping at a truck turn around at the end of a road to get gas and the gentleman seemed very surprised to see us. He told us that the groomer had went thru a week before. Sounded good to us but I believe that the groomer was the only vehicle that had been on the trail in weeks.  I remember sticks in the trail about 12 inches high. I also remember the wolf tracks on the trail.  It was a long ride, maybe 90 miles., to gas. My kid did find a moose shed on the trail we brought home.  It was a long ride and I don't know to this day if we worried more about the wolf's or running out of gas. I don't remember the trail number but I do remember that the trail was closed the year or 2 later. I think others on here can also remember the trail number and how truly in the bush you were.

Not only that if you want to take a week end or mid week trip you just load up and go. Should probably go more.  Lol. How was the summer? I just got off working on Grindstone.  See you at the kove some morning.  

I purchased permits for two sleds last evening and what a easy purchase it was.  Only thing was the video was in French and I guess I missed how to turn it to English.  Anyway I couldn't believe how well everything was set up for easy purchasing.  Great job.
