22 to La Domaine? More then 500 miles. I did it quick on I motoneige thru Seneterre to La Domaine.

Day 2 Warmer Today with the snow but wind makes it a bit chilly for sure. Had a nice stay at Villa Mon Repos in La Sarre. Sleds were nice and happy happy in the heated garage. Chatted it up with 2 big groups from Ontario. Nice guys. Was talking with one group and they started with the..."Ontario has the best Snowmobile trails in all of Canada" I simply said "then what are you doing here, I see an awful lot of Ontario guys and gals riding in Quebec" . They had no response. Any who.... No big rush today. Left hotel around 9:30am and we started our bingo run of Orange local loops all around and up above La Sarre. Super sweet. Despite the light snow and wind making some places a real whiteout, that would be the way it was all day. Flat light a bit drifted here and there and windy but hey that is snowmobiling. Spent 3 hours zipping around up down and back and forth on the Orange trails. Then decided to head down 93 to Royun Noranda. 93 super fast. Arrived there and bypassed the vile on an Orange trail that took us across to 83. 83 also super, no let downs today the west did provide. 83 to cut across orange and into Pressiac. Then on to the fresh groomed 307 and a fast run up to 93 and on into Amos. Sitting happy again at Amosphere. Sleds put to bed in heated garage again, nice. All is well. 240 miles Here at 4:15pm.

Hi Jim, it sure is buddy, hope Gemma is all plugged in and feeling comfy. Have a great ride. Love them oranges near Forrestville and Baie Comeau. They are so sweet.

Gaspe is a whole other animal, especially North shore. Vt blue is right on the money. Been there done that got the t-shirt.

Right on, good stuff.

We seem to always miss the warming trends this year.

Warm my Ass. Day 1 Monday Sleds were in no mood to get going this morning. Ours were not the only stubborn ones. About 20 sleds at Hotel and 5 started without help this AM. All makes, the cold did not discriminate. We helped others and waited for the Yamaha to warm up on the plug in. And had to thaw out the Ski Doo Battery. Would not jump until we warmed it up. Apex battery weak too, but after warming engine the jump box got it going. Needless to say a late late start. Left Val d'Or around 11:30am. It was still wicked cold. Headed out on 83 with a new plan of attack, Matagami is off for now. near Val d'Or town rough not groomed in a while from town to the 83. 83 was better for sure and very sweet. Took 83 to the 309 and found that not so bad as well Continued on to the 93 and found freshly groomed trail laying first tracks. Nice. Took gas in Amos and headed on west on 93 toward La Sarre. Caught the groomer about 50 miles from La Sarre but was still a great trail. Pulled into gas at La Sarre at 3:15 pm then on to Villa mon Repos. Sleds put to bed in heated garage we will have none of that nonsense tmmrw. 140 miles half a day.

By the way forgot to say.... Cold -2F when we arrive.

Right on JG
