Not Good here. Maybe further north got less rain and did better but here is gonna be finished till it snows some good amount for sure.

36F Still Raining

Still raining here.

Ok thanks. i Wish it was very little here.

How much Rain where you are there Bill?

And then.....one day it started raining..... That's all I got to say about that.

32F Had Freezing Rain earlier Rain Now. How much will be the question. One forecast calls for up to 35 mm of rain. Time will tell.

I'll probably be Parkin it for that weekend. Too many Rookies. Or I will be in the Bush.

There needs to be consequences. Say if you get caught, boom, automatic suspension of drivers liscense for 6 months. And if you have a trail pass its revoked. No trials, no appeals. $1000 fine on top. Simple.

Yes this is no Hoax. Rain is coming again for the weekend. Not gonna be pretty. The last storm at least it started as snow here, do not think it will be like that this go around. Rain looks pretty widespread throughout too. Even up north.

Fake Story not true.

No Problem. Glad to help.

Give me a P..... P Give me a I.....I Give me a C......C ....you get the hint? What's that spell? PICTURE.....or it did not happen.

Here's the deal. I just hung up from Peter at Lac Fallon.TQ83 to Seneterre yes closed, they surfaced the first run and discovered a giant washout 6' deep 10' across. The are supposed to send an excavator in to fix it he said he hopes this week. Not sure. Plenty of snow there he says. TQ 83 Balbazard to Clova closed too. They have 25KM plowed thru there for logging. He has not spoken to Domenic in Clova but says they were supposed to be done logging and the surfacer will do what it can. No word on that yet.

When you say west on 83 you mean thru relais 22 and out to Seneterre? Then up 93 to Chiboug? It's still almost 2 weeks out so things should get better. Last I heard 83 was still closed out west going to Seneterre. Again I am sure it will change before you go. I think you will be OK.

I got a friend working driving Mega-Load off road logging trucks in Chibougamau/Chapais, he just returned there yesterday from the holiday vacation. I should hear from him soon on conditions there. When he left before break he said there was some riding but not as much snow up there as in Saguenay and the south. There were locals riding but he said it was not as far along as everywhere else down south. All I got right now.

Gouin for sure a great place. Nice people and well worth the ride up there.

Jan 7 7F cold back in charge. 37F yesterday & 7F now. quite a swing. Got Ice?

Nice Run guys. Interesting the gas info at Wemo. Something to keep an eye on. The 355 near Lac Edouard where it makes the hard left, straight is nice but if they are logging there not far down turns into a very sanded road. For sure the logging was shut down for holiday break if they are working there. Pipemaster I have stayed in the Cabins at Gouin and they are just fine. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable.

Yup, I forgot about the Outfitter Trout there.

Going that way I believe the last gas before TQ 63 is in Laforce on 309 and from there to the Pavillion is close to 130 miles.

There are rooms inside the Pavillion la Verendrye. Went in to check it out for future stay last time there for gas. Nice Place family run. Seems pretty OK. For sure. It is a long haul out the 63 to Bellterre. Nice when its good but can be iffy. Ride some near Val d'Or then head down to Pavillion after lunch. Depending on how you move. The ride from Val d'Or to Pavillion with good trail is less then 4hrs. 386 is fast usually after the Indian Reserve.

For True. The Trailport is closed at Relais Iceman. All flights cancelled right now. Good news is it has stopped raining but it rained pretty hard all morning. 37F

The Damage has been done. Gonna need more snow, cold will just make it frozen like an Ice Rink. Solid Ice no fluff.
