    Day 4 Monday

     

    Great night as usual with the gang here at Pouvorie La Dore. Gonna get up here this summer for a weekend for sure. Said goodbye to our new friends. They are very excited as soon they will get their one month break in April before starting season in May. Been a busy winter with advertising on I motoneige. Was a good move. 

    Little colder thus morning making it comfortable in the gear. Seeing some grooming near restaurant du chef. 

     

    Out to TQ93 and back to orange to Chef. Sweet grooming here. White asphalt. Gas at chef for the last time this season. Continue on still beautiful here groomed right to bridge on TQ93. Up TQ93 to 373. Getting used up in spots for sure. Seeing more and m Mrs is shooting wicked snow from right ski. We stop and it’s ore ground less snow. Still good bit of nice trail. After one road crossing thethe curse of Bullwinkle. Rock jammed in snow tracker. We get sled tipped up, got the Mrs holding it while I try to extract the rock, rubber mallet and leatherman tool get er done. 

     

    373 across to TQ93. Up to Girardville still cooler today have seen no sleds. Just at turn for Girardville one sled. Ruins our no sled day. We decided to go see if relais Lac des Coudes was open for lunch but got nothing more than a small bonus ride up and back. Closed on Monday. 

     

    2pm at truck we decide we will sleep at home tonight, so it shall be. 

     

    Great few days on great trails. Not as nice trail as last week here but very nice. 

     

    So this year Caro saw three regions different. Escoumins in January, February saw her in RDL first time there and then to the Honey hole in LSJ and the Oasis in La Dore. 

    Solid rider and gaining experience each day. 

     

    She learned how to get rock out of Snow tracker.

    And put her first middle rider in the bushes. 

     

     

    Sweet ride back to Home. Great time. Dry road. 

     

    Glad to here Mrs Ice prevailed over the trail Bandit !

    Never had experienced  like this with soo many trail rocks in 30 + seasons. " The year of trail rocks 2024 " Toured this season regions Mauricie, Lanaudiere,Bas-Saint-Laurent, Charlevoix Lac-Saint-Jean. Observed many rocks even some boulders in trail.

     

    Have been running Bergstrom Skegs on both my sleds. Triple point 6" , Comes with ski savers, Recommend purchasing corresponding shim option. My case the ski saddle is replaced with theirs.

    Running Pilot DS-2, Two stroke ski. Ski-Doo carves the twisties like its on Rails. Definitely not a rock collector .Fantastic product ! 

    Fact:  Triple 6" carbides give each ski 18" carbide bit. 36" overall !

    You go get it Team Vermont !  Way to much extra gas for those conditions ? Not looking like any one getting stuck any to soon.

    Screenshot of Imotoneige trail conditions from just now tonight

    we rode the best stuff in yellow. Green was ok yellow was best. You tell me? Who decides if trail is yellow or green? I see it with my own eyes. Its not accurate.

    Most pictures from today were from trails in yellow  you tell me.

    Sunday night looks to be pouverie La Dore. Lots of GPS pings in Pac Man mode devouring all the Honey Hole Regions  sled trails last couple days. Fine excursion Team Mr & Mrs Ice.

    I think that I would have ridden to St. Raymond or as far as I could on open trails then find a ride unless it was an emergency situation. JMHO.

    One time we had to do that, we went into the local pub and asked the bartender if he knew anyone with a Suburban like vehicle and 4 bed trailer that could take us. Our ride walked up to our table about 40 minutes later. Price seemed very reasonable at the time.

    Another time my buddies engine blew just outside Hearst, Ont. We pulled it towed it into the dealer who quickly diagnosed that he wouldn't be riding it back to North Bay (530 sled miles). The dealer gave my buddy a ride to the local Truck Stop and the second driver coming out that he asked gave him a ride to within 500 feet of our truck.

     We pulled the main ignition relay out of the fuse panel under the hood and parked truck to snowbank. 

    Did the same thing. I suggested to the cops the thieves used a flat bed tow. Especially since they left trailer. Cop told me no Way WTF ers.

     

    Hired a flat bed put sleds and trailer delivered us back to boarder.  Always a adventure sledding not all bad.

  7. Its a crap chute !  Left rig at a motel a few years back In the Levi area motel was called at the time Hotel Berniers. Featured Designated parking illuminated for sled / Atv  rigs.

    Went out for a week came back and GMC duramax diesel gone trailer left behind. Security cameras all grainy worthless. Truck was facing Motel across street. No one of authority was much interested !
