We just gassed up in S Felicien and heading north 

A couple pics from Rivière Trenche stop yesterday 

Saw lynx 3 times already. They do well when the rabbit population is doing well. Each time I saw them they were just sitting on the trail and staring into the woods. Have read that they have phenomenal hearing and I’m sure they are just sitting there listening to whatever sounds rabbits make. 
Here , Mon ami Jeff, Andre and my buddy Max at the Gilardo dam a couple days ago.  Max is a big hunter/fisher/trapper and snared this rabbit that morning 

Couple pics from the 83 yesterday

This does NOT signify what we rode today as it was only a couple miles before the 345/M20 and it wasn’t as bad as it looks. For folks who don’t know……. This is my favorite spot in all of Quebec. The 345/M20. I have spent so many hours/breaks/fun times here over the years with so many different friends and new people I can’t even remember it all. When I die my friends and family are coming here to celebrate my life and snowmobiling.  It’s the place I picked long ago as my best and fondest of times in Quebec with dear friends and times. 
a little sad to see it like this today but I know it’s only temporary. Also the view up the M20 is jaw dropping compared to what we are all used to.

Waking up and having breakfast at the Barrage Gouin. There were us three, 4 guys from Rochester and 4 guys from Tug Hill region here last night. So 10 New Yorkers and Mon ami Andre……LOL
was a GREAT day on trail yesterday. 190 miles from camp via 345 and 83. And other than three New Yorkers passing by us leaving the Kanawata parking lot….we saw NO ONE all day. There was one sled in the parking lot when we got to Kanawata at noon. He was sitting at a table with a broken hand all swelled up. Day before they were heading into kanawata and 37 km before they got there he hit a big up/down divit in the trail. Snapped his wrist, bent handlebars and riser block and busted up his windshield and glove box cover going ass over tea kettle. Their truck was in St Zenon and the other guys were coming back to get him. Thankfully he and his machine were not hurt more. 
the trail between Kanawata and Casey was in fine shape yesterday and everything was freshly groomed thru Casey up the 83 and all the way past Haltaparche as was the Gouin trail with no tracks. There is plenty of snow to ride albeit not normal amounts up here. One has to be extremely vigilant as the groomers can not get the trail perfect because of lack of snow so a “surprise “ can come out of nowhere. The Alliance du Nord groomer was sitting in Casey and I’m sure he was sleeping somewhere and be rolling again today. Rest assured that even though the iMotoneige app dosnt show it groomed IT IS.

we are heading east today and spending the night somewhere over LSJ area. Looking forward to a cheeseburger at the “22” today.
