  1. Roadrunner will you be hauled from Havre-Saint-Pierre to Aguanish or will you ride that section?

    We are leaving next tue or wed from port cartier and heading to Blanc Sablon and maybe up to Lanse au clair and then return.

  2. Sounds like a challenge either way you go! We are just trying to look at all options and which one might be best when we are there, depending on weather. Thanks for the info and if you can think of anything that would help us it would be much appriciated. Im going to continue to research as well! Thanks

  3. Snowmonkey, Yes we were at camp love 3 years ago, camp fox this week, not sure where camp caribou is? Maybe you can give us an idea where that one is so we can put it on our visit list lol. We like searching out these places. Best regards RR

    Camp Caribou is at N 51 04.784 W067 27.667 Nord Expe uses Camp Caribou and Love for layovers but i dont know details. We would like to find out more about options of staying at these two camps. Also where we could stash fuel if we dont use Relais Gab

  4. Relais up the manicougan reservoir to Fermont is 250 ish by snowmobile, shorter through the pass but not sure how much shorter and can be challenging

    Thanks for the info. So you recommend the manicougan to go to fermont? Did you happen to check out camp Love or camp Caribou?

  5. Started at the Relais, working both ends of that trail north and south, trail is 45 miles east of Gabriel. Can connect with you about that trip as we did that run in 2013 from lab city to Gabriel in 2013, the lower section from gab to port carter is very clean and open, north section much more challenging

    That would be great if we could connect on this. Looks like conditions are great up there! Enjoy

  6. Mark, we are on the manicougan reservoir. At Relais Gabriel.

    Had some issues today with all 3 of the 800 extremes. The driven clutch on all 3 are not shifting back properly at times. The boys will do some clutch work to see if they can straightened out.

    Heading towards Port Cartier today

    Did you start at Relais Gabriel or did you start from Fermont? Coming down fermont Port Cartier trail in March thought maybe i could pick your brain a little. Thanks

  7. Wound up leaving from a friends house north of Sherbrooke (Weedon) and stayed at the following towns.

    Thetford Mines

    St Pamphile

    Squatec (near Cabano)

    St Anne des Monts

    Matane

    St Pamhile (again)

    Trails were OUTSTANDING all week and we saw more groomers than sledders on the Gaspesie.

    Probably rode 700-800 miles of fresh groomed (no other tracks) out of the 1300+ mile trip!!!

    Here is a pic of what it looked like most of the time.

  8. I have the Quebec maps on my Zumo and have used them all last season and so far this year. They are the 'tits" for sure. They show up green and magenta for primary and secondaries and have the trail numbers overlayed on them.

    I had a hell of a time getting the file and getting it loaded. Not sure how much help I could provide as a friend walked me through most of it way back when. I could see if I have the file somewhere. PM me your email and If I can find I will send.

    Chris

    Thanks Chris, I just sent you my e-mail. If you can help I owe you big time.

  9. If you stay in Lac Eduourd you must try this place. Nicole is the hostess and it is a true B & B. Great food neat as a pin and comfortable. Made us feel like grandma was caring for us. A great woman. Right in the middle of town.

    Do you have her phone number? We enjoy places like this. Thanks!
