[Where am I?]

This Dam could be a tough one for many, but there are a few on here that will probably get it. The second pic has a big clue in it.

Also,  This is not on or near a “current” maintained trail but is in Quebec😀

Hers two.

One familiar to many and the other to very few.

No Comment on the bottom pic😊. Might be considered cheating😉

[Sciere 54]

Just need to get a longer sled😀, and 3 cans!
 

On a good trail condition day,   we have this expedition dialed in to go from Ladore to Chibougamo and back without a fuel stop LOL.  Just wish we could get north of the border to do that this year!

At this point looks like plans C and D are kaput. I would be happy with one 25 mile loop to run around for a couple days just to try out the new sled.

Mike,

I hear you on the desire to get a few hundred miles on that new sled.  Keeping our fingers crossed, but after Saturday you may be able to do that in spots in Western and Northern Maine. It won’t be interconnected saddle bag stuff, but hopefully some decent 100 mile runs will be at play.  We don’t need much more here to get things going for some small, local day ride loops. Fort Kent region may be the biggest winner.🤞

Being a New Brunswick boy I will give you some help on this one. Priceville footbridge crossing the Miramichi River. Looks a bit different with the trees but the same bridge.

https://www.discoverdoaktown.com/about-us/local-attractions/mcnameepriceville-footbridge/#:~:text=At 200 meters%2C this is,12 km west of Doaktown.

 

 

 

Andyman, thank you!! , we did do a run down thru Miramachi and Doaktown back in the day.  There was a railbed that we ran along that day  for a longtime as well.  That has to be the one!  

[Where am I?]

Bob, really not sure, I was also wondering if they had a bridge over the river in New Richmond like this at one time as well?

[Where am I?]

I need help with this one, it’ s from the 90’s.  can’t read the sign over the bridge, I do not have a clue where it was? 🙃

every one knows where it is , a very rare year where it was frozen and you could walk out to really see it, some actually drove their sleds out , about 20 years ago.

Bob, we were some of the fortunate to catch good ice in the 1990’s  and rode out to the rock.  The real funny thing was, it all depended on which way the winds was blowing. You could be there one day and it was frozen in, the next day the ice coule be gone and wide open water

 

 

[Lockdown]

Iceman,

Certainly is going to be a frustrating year. I suspect the new sled sales north of the border were very good just like south of the border for 2021 models. 
The snow conditions, remind me of the open winters we had in the early 1980’s!   With such a slow start to the season regarding depth of snow and the Covid.  There most likely be lots of slightly used 2021 sleds kicking around this spring and next fall.  Certainly has to be concerning for the sled manufacturers and the 2022 lineup. 

In addition to the snowmobile manufacturers,, the impact on the  State and Provencial clubs and organizations, Poirevoire’s, hotels and restaurants, , has to be a concern for all of us who have a passion for this industry.

Certainly a microcosm of the challenges faced everywhere, but the overall impact of Lockdowns and lack of snow will hit close to home for us  in this sector for a few years to come.

It's Roselins !     Located about 20 miles east of Obedjiwan. Basically between Barrage Gouin and Obedjiwan. A awesome native meal of fish just netted out of the Gouin out front. Everything is made , grown  picked local , even the flour for the biscuits was hand ground .

 

Dooright, thats a good one, I remember you guys mentioning that location last year!

[Merry Christmas and Happy New Year]

As we head into Christmas  and than onto New Years,  there is a small Maine distiller that seems to have an aptly named product to sum up this year. 

 

So cheers to all, Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years.

[First Ride before complete shut down.]

Thank you Fozzy for sharing, it’s going to be an awkward season for all of us on both sides of the border.  We need great trip reports like this one!
Have a Merry Christmas

where the current 549 hits trail 55 between the Saint Fabien Panet and Mont Bonnet club houses. 

Yes, that’s right NSHM, it was the St Magloire club house, I believe  that club merged with theMont Bonnett and Lac Etchimen clubs several years back and the club house was closed 

[Where am I?]

This should be an easy one for many, this club house used to be one of the more modern designed club houses on the circuit. It burned down, they rebuilt it again and than I they closed it , sold it to a private owner, when some of the area clubs merged?

White trail north of harve st pierre??

Quebec Bob, yes,  it is on the way to the white trail, on trail 3 , just beyond Havre St Pierre and before you get to where trail 3 stops at Baie Johan Beetz.

[Where am I?]

Anyone remember where they might have seen this along the trail system?

[Where am I?]

Fuse, that covered bridge looks like the one at  Notre dame des pins , just north of St George ?

[Big chunk of TQ 3 closed , east of Forestville?]

Doesn’t this section pass thru some tribal lands? 

[St George QC trail map, Circa mid 1970’s]

Happy December to everyone, been AWOL on here this fall , Waiting patiently for a good freeze up and  snow here in Maine.  The whole December Valin crew has been going thru withdrawal pains, but hey, that’s 2020😊

I was going thru some of my Dad’s picks this weekend from the mid 70’s and ran across this trail map. Wow have they come a long way! 

 

Got a chuckle out of the pricing, $20 for an individual season pass, $30 for the family or $5 a day!

Even back than they had the best trails in the world, groomed to perfection, just not so wide!

Looks like you guys had a good run, Love that area, it offers so much!  Happy trails!
