Byrd

Day 3 of M&M tours. Woke up to a skiff of snow, -23 sunny skies. Gassed up on the trail around 11. Made wrong turn in Val-D'or as usual. Fast Jazz say "you fuck up?" Headed west on 83, not far out of town, stopped by the QPP. Showed paper work. Took the local trail south to hook up with the 309. On to Rapide 7 for gas. Stopped for a picnic shortly after. Continued on to logger carnage below Moffet. As told by local at the seen "The logger was stuck in the harvester for 3 hours with just a small air pocket to breath". Sun going down, Fast Jazz jonesing for rum. Had to turn up the wick, in before sunset knotted off the last 60 Km fairly quick. Checked into Chalet Temikami south of Ville Marie. Trails where in good shape except some areas were very icy. Good 3 day tour, 817km. Stay tuned for M&M tours part DEUX in March, 6-8 day tour. P.S. Dino goes on all our trips!!!

Day 2 of M&M tours. Woke up to 1/2 inch of ice, covering machines. Took seats off and brought inside then up for breakfast. Machines back together, left at 10 am. Fait chaude Natalie (hot Natalie) had great hospitality once again. 30 km of the 386 was plowed, bank was groomed up nice. Rest of the ride up to Kitcisakik was excellent. Gassed up at the Rez, self psyched up to hit the Fou Fous. On up to Louvicourt for lunch. Girls wanted to get into the "sauce", but we decided to do a little loop. On up 83, to local trail, west to the 313, back down to Val-D'or. Won't mention any names but somebody's wife mad a wrong turn on a VTT trail. Arrived at Forestel just after 4 pm. Trails are in good shape but many trees down across trail. Lots of cowboys in town tonight, going to get out of Dogde early tomorrow morning.

Is this Glen??

Just a little freezing rain and light snow.

The one and only!!!

Left oliphant ontairo on Wednesday, arrived at 7 PM in La Binnik, in vile Marie. 3 McKenzies 2 Moores. Great hospitality great dinner as always. Thursday -19 no hurry to leave left at 11 heading east. Gas at belleterre. 2 hours of twisty trails. Things opened up, after that, lots of low hanging trees, be careful!!! Close to 30 km of plowed road after Joncas. Saw 2 wolfs, hunting moose. Arrived at Pavillon La Verendrye. Great day. Great food. Trails groomed all the way. 10 out of 10

I carry most of the things you've been talking about. One thing I pack is self tapping metal screws in case you get a hole in your heat exchanger. Extra food and extra booze it's better to be looking at it then looking for it

386 is green on iMotoneige so we should be good to go Thanks for the help.

Anybody been down trail 43 and up 386 this year is there gas anywhere???

The Delta

I would definitely stage out of Saguenay

That is a good way to go. You can also take 93 all the way down to 3 there's a shortcut on 3 it cuts off the long ride down to les escouins

Hotel eskers in Amos has good restaurant . Never had any trouble getting gas at Lacfailon . The trail down to laverendy is one of the best trails in Quebec be careful of the hills before the Indian reserve.

Have ridden with all kinds of different mitts and gloves. Picked up a pair of fly hipora last year they have a Neoprene lining and I really like them. Still use my fur mitts when it's cold

We've done a few trips that way. Always planned the next day ride soon as we were done the first days ride. I found that sometimes it takes an hour to to find a place to stay if it's really busy and you don't want to lose an hour or two in the morning.

How many people are on the trip?

Decent pizza & good burgers. The beers always cold. They have English menus.

Thanks for the report. Just arrived at the Delta trying to figure out what to do tomorrow let us know if you hear of any good trails we will do the same.

Take cash just in case you have to hire a local with a truck.

Thanks for all the suggestions keep them coming.

Thanks for all the input the wife and I have been snowmobiling around Quebec for over 20 years. Stayed at centre plien-air last year I'm sure it would be hopping New Year's Eve. Has anybody stayed at auberge 21? Just looking for a nice place with good food .

Heading out of St ray on the 30th up 23 lac st-jean looking for a nice spot to spend New Year's with the wife? All input would be appreciated.

100 lacs has more character. Meekos is more modern both are great spots.

Gas in Belleterre about 180 km

No outfitters or lodges in that area of the Quebec.
