o.k. i give up. how did you get a pic from Chapais, Mt Valin & Windigo all today? LOL....

I'll bet the bunkhouse at LeDomaine is available. Cheap, decent, shorter drive and recently groomed from Leverendrye Lodge all the way up to Valdor via Kitcisakik

Feel for ya Jack....been there done that myself before...on the other hand....look at the bright side....your lucky you even got a motel room if there was a hockey tournament in town....been there done that as well too....LOL

Bob, how do you get away without registering in your home state (and thus no plate or registration) ? thought i read that in Quebec a FCMQ pass alone is not enough and that the machine needs to be registered/tagged to somewhere as well

Was it at their little shack out there on the trail? A nice vinyl sided white one with heat i remember about 3 years ago heading towards the 22 one mid morning coming upon that Relais and it was about -25 out. pulled over to take a break and when I opened the door it was liike 75-80 degrees in there. Literally a 100 degree difference..... sure was nice..........

The one I remember was like 40-45ish and fairly thin with dark brown/black hair past the shoulders

Pretty darn sure there are. It would be a right hand turn off the 83 if you were coming from Wemo. its like 20 miles before the "22"

Yeah that cabin rocks, stayed in it last year twice. Kinda small but worked out well for 4 of us Martine was nice enough to give us a carafe of coffee to take over so we had it in the cabin for early morning LOL ......about staying at Stephanie's cabin.....LOL

ombre du Vent in Parent is newer style log cabins (there is 3 or 4 of them) with upstairs/downstairs, satelite tv, phone, kitchenet. internet and SUPER clean and reasonably priced. Wouldn't even think about staying elsewhere in Parent since we found this a couple years ago. http://www.ombreduvent.com/

Also gas at Lac Truite (right on trail) about 25 miles before Belleterre. It's a pricey 2.50 a liter so just a splash to get you peace of mind

Didnt stay, but ate lunch. They have fantastic food. I checked out the rooms and they are fairly small and modest but VERY clean. Gas was 2.00 litre there but guy said it was super and just had a delivery recently.

Well there is the Leverendrye Lodge in the park........ too bad Joncas isn't around anymore. Was by there two weeks ago today and took a break out front by the totem poles and log archway

Came down from Matagami a couple weeks ago and found the gas station and restaurant had 4ft of snow all around it and we were on fumes. Gimped into St Felix and no shit the Polaris ProS 800 in our group took 1 liter more than what the manual says it holds....LOL as I remember the trail came right down the side of the bldg but no more and possibly they are just closed for the winter now.

jack I wouldn't even think of heading towards Ville Marie, go to Lasarre area. Rode Thursday from Rouyn down to near there and over to Belleterre for the night and it was a "scratchy" ride at best Even from Belleterre to Lac Truite on Friday was almost no lube. Much better after that all the way to LeDomaine Matagami and Lasarre area were the best on our trip especially the trails north of LeSarre like Normetal and Vilboise area safe travels to you

Unbelievable !!! Your very lucky to have gotten that pic that way and thanks for sharing it !! I'v only encountered them 3-4 times in all the years riding up there. Chapais/Chibig area M20 trail between Mattawin/Repos Leverendrye Park
