There going to have to get all those metals out of the ground so they can build all those electric snowmobiles we will all be REQUIRED to ride

When in Murdochville 10 days ago mon ami Andre and I ate breakfast at a little cafe on one of the side streets. It was basically just one guy and a small residential looking house. he was telling us the same thing in Murdockville. They have been looking at opening another mine there and have good core samples. Said something about price having to be over 4 dollars a pound for it to make economic sense

“Less than an hour into his very first snowmobile ride” scary

Oh man..... Is that crem brûlée ??? Never see that hardly anywhere nowadays.

Love the photo where it was nice enough out to drag the chairs out of the hotel room and hang out Hope you have a great ride up,the 595 It was super sweet last week

Correct sir. Have seen those signs for years and probably saw 4-6 on our Gaspe run. Almost CERTAIN I didn’t see one from PALC to Degelis. That’s is irrelevant though. That trail 571 has been groomed 3 TIMES aim the last week DURING THE Day. And I’d be willing to bet if I could look at history that is when it’s ALWAYS done. In a situation like that (which I don’t have a problem with) maybe the club needs to install a couple signs saying “this trail regularly groomed during day” that’s just my opinion

I guess the Club in Degelis insists on grooming that 571 trail in the middle of the afternoon. Put THAT in your memory bank if your ever passing through there.

Here a pic of the SECOND groomer they had to bring in to untangle the drag and turn it back around. I got video of him almost getting that thing stuck too.

You can bet your sweet batooty I will be stoping there next time. Here ...a pic of Kelly's (?) breakfast at Albertville

You too Jim. That sled of yours needs to go in the Musee at the Copper Hotel when your finished with it, LOL

Gimping through the work week. It helps that I got a 37 yr old I work with that saves me out a lot of the time on physical stuff. He's really pulling the load this week after hearing/seeing the story last week. Better buy him lunch soon...LOL Wanted to give an update on things. We are all doing better albeit Jeffrey will take a little longer. My leg is only two colors now and feeling better. Have the house and deck/driveway cleared of tree's and awaiting insurance guy this Saturday. It's gonna be ugly. An update on machinery: Andre is dropping off his sled at Performance NC soon and after looking at it before we left last friday it might be fixable. That 2013 year had the hood just pull off and his did and was not damaged. He has some plastics, radiator and spindle/ball joint ripped off but all else appears straight. Might change after dealer goes through it. That thing has near 40K kilometers and runs like a champ. Well cared for. So time will tell. Jeffrey is taking his Sidewinder to dealer for insurance guy to look at but he can see multiple tunnel compromises and quite sure it's totaled. Steering post and handlebars bent too. Picking my sled up from Jeffrey's this weekend and quite sure it just needs some TLC and $$$ and will be fine. So what appeared to be 3 totaled sleds might only be 1 1/2 ....LOL Another tidbit.....Andre told me the groomer operator told him he wasnt out to groom the trail (because TRUST ME it didnt need grooming) but to take the groomer to some other town to help the VTT club out with some event they had and their groomer was broke. Good to know someone could have lost their life over that. Fire chief from Degelis called Andre this week to check on Jeffrey's condition. Trust me....if you ever have some serious shit go down the closer to Degelis you are the better off you will be. Ronnie....(newbie guy) told me asked one of the fireman "does this stuff happen often" and the guy told him "once or twice a week"....Now...I'M SURE he just meant snowmobile "incidents" in general but the fact IS...they dont take this stuff lightly up there. They ARE prepared with all necessary tobagans/track vehicles and everything you can think of to help people out. My hats off to all of them and EVERYWHERE else they do such a good job for us all. So happy to see other QR's still enjoying the beautiful trails and region. It was my last scheduled trip and I was hoping for a "not so dramatic ending" but you take what life throws at you and do the best you can. I know (a week later now) something changed in me when I crested that hill last Thursday. I had thoughts of bagging the snowmobile thing going forward but know deep down that's just NOT me. It's part of me and one of my biggest passions in life. I will (God willing) be out there again but things will be a little different which is a good thing. Plus....I have more food porn pics I want to take....LOL

Damn , what I wouldn't give for a piece of that right now. The trails I mean......bwahhh...LOL

Your obviously NOT a smoker like me.....LOL And check this pic out. Almost identical to yours exactly 8 days ago. Seems the ice went further off shore. Maybe the tides have something to do with it, I dont know.

That's awesome. Considering the snow we saw up there last week it shouldnt be a problem. Just sucks at the gas stations, roadside/bridge crossings and hotels. The rest is still more than great. Have an even BETTER day tomorrow guys !!!

Absolutely love it. Rock on !!!!!

and we dont get any food porn pics??? saying a prayer for weather for you guys. Hope your ride is great.

AWESOME keep the pace (and pics) going. Will say prayer for weather. It still looks as great as last week. Your camera is awesome. MUCH better food porn pics too !!!! Those are keepers for sure. Should be in some Quebec cuisine magazine.

Congrats on a MONSTER day. Wish I was there. Pics are superb. Must have been doing the credit card wireless “tap” at the gas stations every two hours.....LOL

My giant white pine with Wisteria. God I’m gonna miss her. The clean up is gonna be pure hell.

Think I’m gonna take a nap now

Just like snowmobiling......everything eventually all works out.
