Yeah for me its a Gas and Go in Parent.

Don't Change a thing GT Rider you got it down. You do much more then manage OK. Keep on trucking.

I'll believe it when its on the ground. Monday is a long way off things can change. I hope they are guessing right but we all know at this point that is all it is a guess. They Lie those weather people.

Sounds good to me Jackstraw. I'll bet Parent is kinda like the Island I used to live on where "you don't lose your girlfriend, you just lose your turn." lol. All kidding aside I would live in Parent. My wife says if I go I will go alone. She said the same thing for La Tuque. Too Boring for her.

Wow GT rider you guys got to practice all the extrication techniques huh? Winch and all. You must have been a boy scout cause you were definately prepared. Good stuff.

Exactly right on Viper, Natives and Firewater equals crazy. Never stayed at Auberge Clova just lunch and taken the gas, I have Stayed at Tamarac cozy there nothing fancy but fine. Auberge Clova seems fine but just so you know the Auberge is a Separate building from the Restaurant so you need to walk or ride down to eat or ride or walk back up to the Auberge to sleep. You can see one from the other not far but not right next door either. Trails were great last week thru there sure its just as dandy now.

I've seen some nice Warming Huts that could work for sure. Hotel Central reminds me of the Bar Scene from the first Star Wars. The few times stopping in there. Never slept there but hear it gets crazy on the weekends.

Clova is great! Population 43 Give or Take a few.

We know now that Straight was the better choice.

Trailblazer That route is just over 90 miles.

Chibougamau to Seneterre roughly 215 miles give or take a few. Seneterre to Lac Faillon about 65-70 miles. Seneterre has Motel Senabi 819-737-2327 Or Motel La Belle Villa 819-737-2331 Or in Lac Faillon 819-737-4429

Parent has Hotel Central 819-667-2377 Clova has Auberge Clova 819-662-3327 or Tamarac 819-662-3319 Barrage Gouin is east of Parent off TQ83 819-666-2332 St Michel many more choices.

Feb 12 1.5" new snow Tropical out there today. 36F

Gas in Louvincourt yes. intersection of 386 and 83 Right near the river crossing.

From Lac Repos intersection of 345 and 33 Its almost 200 miles either way you go to Clova Your looking at a 300 mile day from St Michel to Clova. Well real close to it anyway.

You need to take 345 to Lac Repos then either up the 345 to Kanawata then to 83 and west, probably best way. Or 345 to lac Repos then west on 33 to join up with 13. From Lac Repos you have those two options.

I am pretty sure 33 has part that is closed for Logging between st michel and Lac Repos. Not sure but better check on that. Pretty sure you need to go on 345 or 360 then 33 at Lac Repos to 13. I'm sure someone else here has more info for that. Last I heard from st michel (cabanon) to Lac Repos 345 or 360 were the only ways to go.

I'm not sure of your chosen route from St. Zenon to Clova, tell me which way you are going and I can tell you where to gas. For sure to Clova on 83 is gas in Parent. So at Clova you will gas and sleep. Next gas Lake Faillon on 83 is a lodge with rooms gas and food. Then gas in seneterre if you go in on the 83 or in Louvincourt at intesection 83/386 if you use the 386 trail. Val d'or gas in town then Gas in Louvincourt intersection of 83 and 386 right by the river crossing. Now after that you have 2 choices On the 386 you come to Kitchisakik(indian village) top off there and if you can make 120 miles if not then...... Once you turn left at the end of the 386 you are now on the 63 east. Not very far on the left there is a trail to Pavillion Lavendyre a lodge with gas food and rooms, note its like 7 miles down and then 7 miles back to 63. Continue on 63 east you come to A gas right on the trail along the road called Le Domaine food also here. Further down is another gas at the Classic a restaurant/gas right on trail. Definately need the gas at Domaine From there you should make Mt Laurier no Problem. Or just gas at Classic too if you want.

Our Picture from Ontario. just wish we had more time.

Yes Snowing on and off Nothing crazy but supposed to be 10cm by tues afternoon we shall see. 26F light snow. Almost 1" so far.

Still Closed due to logging. Pretty sure its for the year. Could be wrong. Only way is over the dam or the 345 to Repos.

Nice run Mark. No doubt the west is best. They got it going on. Usually little traffic too but with things being what they are elsewhere, its the only place worth it right now for big loops.

Sounds like its going good out there Mark. Curious to see how the 63 going east out of The Trout Lake Lodge is this year. Let me know. Keep on trucking.

X2 Maximum Adventure in Grand Mere 819-698-8899 Or 1-877-538-8899
