  1. This popped on my phone this morning. Hard to believe this North Shore trip in 2005 was 19 years ago.😬 First trip out on my used 2003 Legend 800 long track. It burned to the ground in Les Escoumins. I guess Google didn't figure that was anything I wanted to remember, so I attached the photos from that part of the trip. 😄  I took the bus back to Quebec city where the truck was. My friend had to ride alone back to the truck. He's the one eating the Brownie Eruption, not me.😀

  2. Disconnecting , or completely removing the battery is an option also. I recall in the mid 1990's I stayed at motel Senator in Mont Laurier. All the sleds would be parked bumper to bumper under the canopy at the entrance of the hotel. I was told lone sleds in the parking lot would disappear. They would come by in pickup trucks and grab them with a hook on a rope, drag them out of the lot and toss them in the truck and be gone in seconds.

    The problem is definitely not as bad as it was.

    Its a crap chute !  Left rig at a motel a few years back In the Levi area motel was called at the time Hotel Berniers. Featured Designated parking illuminated for sled / Atv  rigs.

    Went out for a week came back and GMC duramax diesel gone trailer left behind. Security cameras all grainy worthless. Truck was facing Motel across street. No one of authority was much interested !

    Not uncommon 20-30 years ago. Less of a problem now I think? I still prefer to launch from Northern Maine.

  4. I registered my sled 11 days after the summer solstice. Now the daylight is increasing, and snowmobile season is still a ways off....

    Happy Winter Solstice & daylight getting longer from here!...

    NEW YORK -- With the winter solstice upon us at 10:27 p.m., Thursday and Friday will be our shortest days of the year.

    Sunrise occurred at 7:16 a.m. Thursday and will be at the same time Friday. 

    The sun will set at 4:31 p.m. Thursday and then at 4:32 p.m. Friday, meaning we only get to enjoy a daylength of 9 hours, 15 minutes and 17 seconds.

    We are tentatively planning a loop through there too.  A nice trip for us, ride from Pointe a la Croix to Quebec City, up through Mt Valin then cross at Baie Comeau to Matane and back to the truck. Easy loop.

    I would like to do something similar. This stuff gets to be disappointing. On top of the shorter seasons, less fuel and lodging, and increased cost of everything. I am ready to go though! Looking forward to 2024!

    Post another Let’s Go video when you get back.  Still the highest quality QC trail riding clips I have ever watched.  Love them.  I met the Professor or the Chemist can’t remember which one at Pacini restaurant in Alma years back. I didn’t see you that time.  

    I thought I recognized the handle Skidoooccio. I enjoy those videos also! It's been a while since a video was posted I believe.

    I would bet the truck was disconnected quickly after the theft and the trailer is in a building or tarped.  Quite a hiest!  Next season parts.

    I feel bad for the people who snow checked those sleds. 

    It looks like all the tracking stuff was indeed disabled.
