my new friend “Max” and I will surely be lifelong friends

Having another wing dinger of a day/afternoon 
i never made it to camp.......yet
i was at the Giraldo dam at 4:30 taking a break after riding straight from Kanawata.
i don’t intentionally do these things .....it just “happens”
might turn out to be another life changing moment
 

Leaving Kanawata now and heading to camp for my last night.
wont be able to post anymore
wishing everyone the best and a happy season ending (whenever that may be)
April riding will be a reality up here this year

I made a little snow angel to watch over me on the last couple days of my trip
 

Casey airstrip a couple hours ago

A little different this time leaving Haltaparche 

Well.....the sun even shines on a dogs ass some days. alliance du Nord finally came through for me this year. Should be SMOOTH sailing all the way back to Andre’s camp today.
lunch at Kanawata then south via 345/M20/M21
ill miss mon ami Jean-Guy and Haltaparche. If I didn’t have life responsibilities I would just stay here forever. Wouldn’t phase me a  bit. He turns 80 in a couple weeks and I hope he lives to 100. He is one of THE toughest guys (and nicest) you would ever meet. Quebec Bob and I are going to try and get up here this summer to go fishing.
 

Looking forward to today’s escapades from you guys
windy all day here at Haltaparche with breaks of sun and snow squalls 
I was napping this afternoon and Jean-Guy reported 6 more snowmobiles passed thru heading east. He did not talk to them

Jean guy made us some fu$&ing DELICIOUS moose cheeseburgers and now we are snacking on some nice Orida extra crispy fries

Outstanding day off here at Haltaparche 
helped Jean Guy with some firewood, snow shoveling, took a nap and played with the dog and played gin rummy with him.
I was napping this afternoon and Jean guy reports 6 more sledders passed heading east. Perfect, I’ll take it for tomorrow’s run back to the camp
lunch in Kanawata 
here this evening 
 

Earlier....

Yeah but your damn near as tough as this guy (almost)

Ok....boots on the ground intel (or really satellite telephone calls into space and back) has it.....
the guys at the Gouin are bagging the Obedjiwan run today, staying another night at the Gouin (as planned) and heading back to Parent tomorrow VIA THE ROAD. I can’t fu&cking imagine paying a guide to run up and down the roads out of Parent....but whatever. To be fair....it took us years to successfully get to Obedjiwan too.
and Kanawata reports 6 guys leaving via Casey, Wemo and then La Tuque.
im still betting no one is coming through here today
will report this evening 

29k miles 2013, no working dash and no GPS

I’m seriously going to try and talk him into hot dogs tonight on the grill

So...after the scrumptious moose meat stuffed peppers, taters, beer and gas I was on my way after a nice 3+ hour visit. Andre, Jeanie and I rode out together (they in their truck) and said goodbye.
when I pulled into the Gouin there was 6-7 guys at the pump. Quebec’ers with various sleds and a GUIDE. Said they were staying two nights there and shooting for obedjiwan today across the reservoir. Good luck on that today. These pussies were to scared to take the trail from Parent to the Gouin yesterday and came by road.
here....Haltaparche this morning. My sled was clean last night when I pulled in at 5:30. Jean-Guy reports 20 inches here in last 36
im sure hoping I’m wrong on our bet that no one is coming through here today. I would prefer someone else bust the trail down for me tomorrow 
not going anywhere today. Will help shovel snow here today, partake in some Mother Nature and take a nap this afternoon.

Zoom in on the sign on the garage and look at the phone number
coincidence. ?

Andre and Jeanie’s camp is not really a camp. It’s a full blown house with detached barn with full in law type setup above. The BEST of everything has gone into this place which Andre and Jeanie plan on retiring to in 2 years.
