Last day Nice place to stay with great food.

Thanks Guys. A few from day 8 A very nice place with great people

A few from day 6 on lac matagami

A few more from day 5

I have been reading your informative reports for years. (Many Thanks) I have not been across 83 east before. I cant compare it to the old trail. I did see a bob cat shortly after Monet. Too fast for a photo.

This was our 10th year of two upping in Quebec. I am very fortunate to have a very adventurous wife. She really enjoys the trips. She likes to sight see along the trail. I know what you mean about having two sleds. If I don't do it on one I will be staying home on the couch. I carry a sat phone and other equipment. Thanks for the props to my wife.

N48 06.497 W75 21.792 Traveling east the trail is the doted line top to bottom You cant miss the Restaurant Gas station. The hotel is owned by the same person.

Great photos. You had a very nice trip.

Nice Trip. Thanks for the tip on the hotel.

It is just the two of us. We carry a Sat phone and a bunch of other survival stuff.

Hi Groomer, Next year I will try for the north shore with a boat trip to the famous trail TQ5. Hopefully the bridge will be repaired on TQ3. Maybe I will see a moose. I got very lucky and saw a Wolf last year. I always have your photos to look at :D Thanks for the planing help this year.

It was my first time in Abitibi. I enjoyed the "new" trails. I did how ever run across some open terrain with huge drifts. Glad to have my trusty shovel. Glad to have my trusty shovel. When I passed back by Matagami again the groomer had erased any evidence of it.

I cant say there were any bad trails. There was plenty of snow. I would not have changed a thing.

I usually get one trip in a year. I have a year to recover so I don't pay attention to any ache or pains :D . I have to give props to my wife. We have been going for 10 years now and she never complains. We two up!! I don't have any friends that will go with us but I wont let that stop me from enjoying the Beautiful scenery and nature of Quebec.

I stoped for gas at camp wawagosic. I think it was about 80 miles from Matagami. I never had any problem finding gas on the entire trip.

Just back from my most ambitious trip. Day 1 From Hotel Forestel to Alberge Clova 216 miles Day 2 From Alberge Clova to Relais 22 209 miles Day 3 From Relais 22 to Hôtel du Jardin 256 miles Day 4 From Hôtel du Jardin to Motel Harricana 179 miles Day 5 From Motel Harricana to Hôtel Matagami 242 miles Day 6 From Hôtel Matagami to Amosphère 247 miles Day 7 From Amosphère to Motel Senabi 275 miles Day 8 From Motel Senabi to Domaine Driftwood 244 miles Day 9 From Domaine Driftwood to Hotel Forestel 300 miles (* tried to follow the old 83 by mistake and had to turn back to find the new 83) Plenty of snow every where I went. I saw two bob cats one by Clova one past the saw mill to Chibougamau. While I was getting my camera two guys pulled up and did not realize they were right next to the cat. Ten years now and havent seen a moose yet. Guess I will have to try next year. Guess I can always look at Groomers photos :D .

According to the club web site some repairs to the trail were made that were deemed to be unsafe for the groomer to operate over. There was no way to pass(Franquelin). I have made other plans in Abitibi. I will try next year.

Hi Groomer, I have not yet been on the TQ3 in Cote Nord. I was hoping to make the trip from Escoumins to Havre-Saint-Pierre. If it is not passable I will have to make other plans. Thanks For the translation. You are a great help to us in the snowmobile community.

Groomer Can I ask you to look this site over. I am trying to see if I can travel from Escoumins to Havre-Saint-Pierre. I do not understand if there is clear passage, a reroute or if I can hire someone to trailer passed the bad spot. Thank You http://www.clublammi.com/

As allways great Photos Groomer. Last year I stayed in Pohenegamook. I was lucky to arrive just on time to see this.

I traveled 569 last year in February. Went from Pohenegamook to Amqui. I ran in to two problems. There was a problem with 550. It was closed the new map now shows the change. When I reached Squatec I had to take 548 I could not find access to 546 it appeared to be closed.
