awesome pics again!!
my dad has been a guide for salmon anglers on the patapedia river for 30 years +.
looking at the pic of manic 5 reservoir ,a friend of mine used to go on the reservoir in mid april for a 4-5 days trip when the ice was good.they were riding up to rené-levasseur island and into the mounts groulx.all the guys had their own sleight to bring gas ,food ,etc.they had a few camps around the reservoir to spent the night.
in 80 or 81 i ve been to manic 5 for a mx race.the track was 15 miles on the left side of the dam.those of you who stopped at the yamaha dealer in mont st pierre probably noticed that the owner has an artificial leg.when i arrived at the track ,he was practicing,crashed his bike and his leg got caught between the swingarm and the rear wheel.
he wanted to go back to baie comeau using a hydroplane near by on a lake.organisators said no!!!
time for the ambulance to go up there from baie comeau close to 3 hrs.he probably lost his leg because it took so much time.
i don t know much the norht shore ,i ve been to baie comeau a few times for mx races and a few deliveries.
groomer !!!
I bet you must know all the good spots and when to be there.
Your salmon photos are great.

How far away are you when taking the photos? It seems like you are very close.

Thanks for the link.
On my next summer trip I want to stay in the area longer and explore. I covered a lot of ground this time.

Wow I did not realize you can cut across to la cache from there.
Thanks for the info. I did not know that the president went fishing in Gaspe.
I can understand why the Americans would own homes in routhierville. Its Beautiful there.
I stopped By the covered bridge.
I stopped along 299 going north. I did not see any moose but I think one was here.

Does anyone know where this is?
Here is the location

I stopped by Relais Breiz hoping to get dinner a few weeks ago. It was sad to see that it was closed and for sale. I hope Michel and Arlette are doing well. They are great people. I would drive there after 325 had closed. It was worth the trip.

Hi Groomer,
Thanks for the complement on my photos.
I think your photos are fantastic.
I have been snowmobiling in Quebec since 1999. I finally had the chance to visit in summer. I have been talking about it for years with my wife. We decided to make it happen this summer.
I passed through town on Monday July 20 on my way to Carleton. I should have emailed you to see if you would be in town. Wow I was so close to your home.
It was nice to get a different perspective from winter. You live in a very beautiful place. I enjoyed the scenery driving along the matapedia.
I remember a few years ago you posted photos of the river flooding in town before the snow fall. I think you said the river was up to the gazebo. Now I can appreciate how high the river had risen.

Hi Groomer
Do you know what this crop is? I saw a lot of feilds growing this in Bas-Saint-Laurent.
My wife and I took a trip to Cote Nord with a little detour through Gaspe.

Hi Quebec Riders,

My wife and I always enjoy looking at your pics.
I was wondering how many kilometers from the clubhouse toward Cross Point do you groom?

Thats a lot of riding in 4 days with 2 broken machines.
You guys rolled with the punches and had a nice trip. Congrats.

We went though on 2/18. There was a lot of fresh snow from what I recall. The trail was in pretty nice shape.

Excellent photos once again.
As Bill said you are the man.

Last day
My one mistake following the gps and not looking at signs. back and forth on this river with no exit. I missed the reroute. wasted about 2 hours looking and got stuck.
