What a LONG 23 months of government legislated abstinence from my happy place of Quebec in the winter! My last day of snowmobiling there was March 15th 2020.  The border shut 6 days later.  That is finally behind me now!!
Well they talked about a big nor’easter coming in last Thursday into Friday. Time to change my plans by 24 hours. Changed my flight to 1 day earlier to Wednesday and took a 7AM flight from Florida to New Jersey to get my truck. My son Jason from NYC met me there & we scrambled for all our gear & hit the black trail at high noon.  I always try to avoid snow and ice on my drives up and back in the truck.  Of course I got my every 2-4 years speeding ticket on I 87 northbound in the high peaks for the Court of Chesterfield New York. Oh well. I have a tight schedule to keep!  Crossed border at 5:15PM.  Very very easy.  ArriveCAN is simple & works great.  Got thru in 10 minutes & no Covid test given to either of us to take post entry.  Drove to Trois Rivières to pick up my fully serviced trailer & sleds.  Then drove another 90 minutes to Lac-a-l’eau-Claire for our lodging.  Arrived at 8:30PM in our condo.  Palm Beach Gardens, Florida to NJ to Saint-Alexis-des-Monts in 13.5 hours!! Long day but mission completed. It’s full on peak season conditions here!  Yippee Ky Yea!!!
 
To be continued………………
 

Good God !!!  Unbelievable.  My favorite saying..... “it’s a sea of purple”.......LITERALLY !!!!,!,!
This is WHY the BEST snowmobiling ON THE PLANET is in Quebec

Like Jack said above the Walgreens Rapid Diagnostic Test (ID NOW) is a NAAT test & is easy to schedule online in advance & is performed thru the drive thru window. I took one this morning at 11:45AM & got my negative test results emailed back at 12:25PM. Can’t beat it. Zero cost & results in 40 minutes!  

Heading to Quebec 4:30AM Thursday morning!  It’s been a long 23 months!!

seems to always be the hold up? been the auto bridge last couple of yrs.they don't seem interested

to ditch banger, or willb did you use the 102q from north bay to temiscaming?

Trudeau and Jean-Guy from Haltaparche are now overseeing and testing the sample kits from his living room there on the "83".  They have Starlink 300mb internet to upload the results straight to Ottawa. If you are found to be "positive" you are to report IMMEDIATELY to the air strip in Casey. There you will be flown to Columbia in an especially equipped twin engine prop plane that is purpose built to handle Covid situations. Kinda like the 1976 John Travolta movie "Boy in the bubble". When you land in Columbia.....the rest is up to the "cocaine cartel"........

you could park up the hill.continue past the esso up the hill across from the ford car dealer.part of motel canadieene lot.trail head is right there at the motel.

I believe it was the words of our great philosopher ScorpionBowl:
"You can't drink all day, unless you start in the morning"

that's some funny stuff there jack,😉 gotta love smclelan

Don't mean to be a jerk, but I see this far too often when I am riding so wanted to bring it up in hopes of making an impact.  It seems like your crew is blocking the entire intersection in 3 of those pictures.

Grimmer,remember march break is prime time for hockey tournaments,sometimes room avail becomes diminished because of the kids off school,can't remember if this is the same time as in ontario,qc could be different?worth investigation,ive been stung in qc before at this time..

bonsior' JG, just a little tip..   if that ever happens to you again,where the turbo lets go and the engine runs wide open.. the way to shut it down is to take your coat and cover the breather or air intake to starve the engine of air..it will shut it self down with a lack of air...only way to shut it down...can be scary a little..otherwize...
