Only the Cree up in Ouge-bigamau and Mistissinni have their reservations closed. The overly friendly Atikamek of Manawan & Wemotaci are still open. Gas and go as usual.

can’t wait to flip the bird to that shit hole as we pass by this Monday. Heading straight for 100 Lacs from the camp. And your right Ice, I should get a pass for all the over priced canned peas, gravy and water infused gas I have purchased over the years. A couple of weeks ago was the straw on the camels back for me with that cesspool and that was before this circle jerk. NEVER again will anyone see my ass on that property. You’ll catch me at the end of the driveway out by the road having a cigarette or other consumables but not on the property. And in the HIGHLY unlikely event I do need gas I’ll hitchhike to SMDS just outta principle. Sad thing is I’m starting to have the same sentiments with Kanawata but can’t easily cut them out of the picture. Mario’s price gouging on the gas right before my eyes, humble attitude and club sandwich with no tomato and half the chicken as prior years didn’t sit well at all with me.

Magnificent and....."all you need to know"........glad you had a GREAT trip. You are dead RIGHT....the extra hoops we have to jump through to get up there is a very small price to pay. I'm blessed to be able to ride where I do and the people I know and ride with (when not soloing). Said it a bunch before and will forever ....some of the VERY BEST snowmobiling in North America is .....WITHOUTADOUBT......Alliance du Nord .

Je me souviens, couple questions how was the condition of the trail from Clova to Parent ? How strict were they at the Depanneur in Parent on Covid stuff ? Did you stop and see Norman at the new place in Casey "Camp de Base" ? Maybe we'll run into each other on the roadside in Parent again this year...LOL

awesome pic !!!! Love taking breaks there and around the corner

Just AWESOME....will be doing sorta the same starting saturday. Camp sat/sun, 100 Lacs (mon), Haltaparche (tue & wed) and back to camp thursday. maybe we'll run into each other. There will be either 3 of us or 4

will hopefully be at the Marineau saturday mid day for another trip. Looking forward to it. Alain....simply amazing what you and Kristine do but is it not about time for a new jacket ...LOL...that one has to have 50,000 + miles on it by now....LOL....LOL They should hang that one in the Musee in Murdochville...LOL

so....if I go to Canada.....and want to sit down and eat my Club Sandwich....I have to go to NB ? I dont ride over that way anymore unfortunately. There are NO RESTRICTIONS where I go....LOL

Ice, did you and the wife not go riding recently up near there ? If so...why "crickets" on the voyage ?

Alain, when was that video taken ??? Looks like every last fresh flakes have been beaten down and needs some fresh powder.

Anybody know anything about this https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1851904/disparition-recherche-pourvoirie-kanawata-motoneige

Jesus that club does look awesome !!! WAY better than Kanawata's. Glad you guys are having a good ride. I sure would like to take that helicopter for a rip.

well that blows. still beats a good day at work though. Hope to see you again this winter (maybe in NY even)

Stayed there a half dozen times. Loved the restaurant and pull your snowmobile up to your door type room. Besides the B&B that's been there for awhile (havn't been there yet) I think there is another smaller hotel between there and the grocery store if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully next season they will have a brand new one in it's spot.

You gotta give credit to the clubs and the FCMQ for still opening and grooming this trail with the no gas situation. I’m sure there will be big signs up at each end warning people. will be interesting to see if some morons end up out there walking.

cats quarantine nicely......LOL https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/quebec-updates-curfew-exemptions-to-include-dog-walking

Note to self...... do NOT be in Quebec on 2/19 & 2/20

I just spoke to my buddy up there and what he told me is they have not announced an "end date" yet but said the curfew will be the first thing lifted.

hope you guys have a GREAT trip. How is LeCabanon (and riders) dealing with the closed dining room situation. If I am not mistaken this new rule is in effect until the middle of February so that shoots a good portion of the season in the ass.

may your trip and ride be filled with nothing but awesomeness !!!! Ours was last week and hoping to get back up on the 15th for another smack dowm.

Cant miss it really. It's on the right at the last bridge before the airstrip. As your crossing the bridge you can see it on your right.

Steve That's EXACTLY why I got up here and did what we did when we did it. Sure hope I get to use my 300 dollar pass more. BTW.... got check pointed on first run Sunday out of LeCabanon at the park entrance. Only second time ever there for me. And I've been thru there a lot

Kanawata gas pump on Wednesday

OK, here's some info for all. It's no secret my disdain of a certain place 80 miles north of St Zenon that starts with the letter "R" and I have been recently been bashing them because their gas was 2.24 and Kanawatas was 2.00 That was Tuesday. On Wednesday Kanawata price JUMPED from 2.00 to 2.35 My belief was Mario over heard me bitching about it and figured he was shorting himself. OK guy over the years but never on the hospitable side. He's aged 10 years since I last saw him in March 2020 and got real gray. Word is its finally going to change ownership VERY soon. Just like LeCabanon as Dennis will know in the next week or two. Who's behind these owners?.?.? Word is BOTH Chinese backers. Go figure. We are heading to a nice steak dinner now and then I'm going on a solo evening run. Peace
