Interesting spot for sure! If you got one of the front rooms and were a light sleeper the truck traffic could keep you up at night. I do remember one really cold night getting a steak cooked in the fireplace. He was a good guy for sure!

I’d bring a bit of oil. Your out in the boonies a bit. Sometimes you’ll get lucky and find oil in places you’ll never expect and the places you expect won’t have it.

Your riding mid week which is always better. One thing about that whole area is it has a lot of character. I’m not a big drinker but there are a lot of cool old bars to stop at and warm up and get a coffee or whatever. Food is usually pretty good at those places. Just remember to stay way right.

It’s next to the diner across from arbys. Diner is good

I second this ! Stayed a few times and was always good. They have rooms or a couple of cottages you can rent. Do your own cooking if the mood moves you. Linda was just there this weekend. The Groomer use to park there and leave from there . It’s been a couple of years not sure if it still does?

So things must of changed since we stayed two /three years ago.The trail was great going in and they(the owner of grand valley ) had his own groomer doing the trail in and out.

Happy Birthday 🎂 Steve and Andy it’s been along time since our paths have crossed!Enjoy the day

They do have a fenced pen for the sleds . Parking lot is big but sometimes can be tricky to find a spot . Ive got a big four place and people do come in and unload for day rides so I’ve had to move it in the early evening the day we’ve checked after people have left to get a better permanent spot. As far as safe parking , we’ve gone in and out four or five times no problems. Twice , we have unhooked the trailer with all the sleds in them ( locked the hitch) and gone into Quebec City for the night and stayed. Trailer was always there in the morning when we returned. We always drive to the ice hotel which is around the corner about 3/4 of a mile. Not an easy place to sled to at all.

My wife loves that place. Nothing like the breakfast at the Vieux Moulin (dinner too!) Thick cut Texas toast done on a hot stove top, magic! Nice trip.

Nice report JG. That’s what I love about the Gaspe’. You can do it in 3 days or as many has you like or have to. But the ride never disappoints.

I’ve heard about those trips from guys I knew who went on them back in the day.Wasn’t it called the “Devils Tour”! I think there are a few bars of “Danseurs” that have gone out business because that tour has stopped! Lol

My kind of trip. I think some snowmobile to ride . I enjoy snowmobiling to eat , then ride ! Lol

Thinking of ya boys . I’m in Stowe VT. Skiing ⛷

Ah Tom , you ended going earlier then you thought ! Lol . I knew you couldn’t wait till February!
