    Thanks (I couldn't react to your post). I guess had I wanted to I could've attached the cradle to the handlebar. Denis has a Montana 700i on his current sled & I saw it when we were riding w/ him last season. That was the motivation for the upgrade.
    Hope you guys are doing well!

    I picked up a Montana 700 after last season. I got a bracket fabbed & my nephew helped w/ the wiring. Will be an inprovement over my GPSmap64.




    W/ this the glovebox is pretty much useless, but a good place to stow the harness.

    I've noticed that on the FCMQ map. I think Parent is in the middle of nowhere too. Makes the stretches we run in northern Ontario look suburban LOL.  
    Thanks. I had just popped over to the A-T sub-forum to see if there was any activity. I don't post much here as I haven't much recent to add. I'm pretty active over on the Ontario portion of DooTalk.
    👍 If it hadn't been open back then I doubt we would've made the trip. I think people from southern Ontario are more likely to ride that region if they can ride in @ 1 location & out another.. Too bad that the A110Q doesn't seem to hold a lot of importance. It's like neither federation wants the other's riders to visit the other province. Mind you when I rode B101Q back in 2020 to the Ottawa River both sides were well groomed.

    In 2008 we took our only foray into Quebec. We staged @ New Liskeard, rode across Lake Temiscaming to Notre-Dame-du-Nord then up to Amos via Rouyn-Noranda. The next day we headed west & arrived in Cochrane. I know from reports on DT, QR & elsewhere plus talking to other riders that there are more remote sections of trail in Quebec, but in a way the stretch from La Reine to Low Bush River felt like the most isolated ride I had been on. Over the years I've ridden thru Hornepayne, Longlac & Manitouwadge (even doing the Greenstone Loop).

    I guess part of it knowing that there isn't much in that area near Abitibi adds to it.

    Did anyone here make the trip across A105Q before it was closed & what would you say is the most riding location that you've done in Quebec?

    Not much help in recent times, but we stayed at the Amosphere back in '08. No complaints back then.

    Swisha north gets pretty remote on 386.  160 km seeing nothing but lakes and the odd hunting outfitter that's closed for the winter.  It's 200 km from Swisha to Temiscaming.  Haven't made the trip yet, but heading east from Val D'or towards Clova also looks to be quite remote.

    Hi Revrnd. Glad to see you have posting here. Signfan is right. The trip from Swisha ( Rapides des Joachims) up43 and 386 to La Verendrye is remote and not near as many sleds as Cochrane to La Reine used to see. Even from Verendrye on up to to the top of the reserve is pretty remote although better trail and more sleds. Louvicourt east of Val D'or to Lac St. Jean is very remote most of the way and not highly travelled. They would be the most remote that I have been on in Quebec but I'm sure there are more.
