4 of us did that last year in late feb it was close a few nights on the north shore the futher east you go the only problem we had was hotel cooper in mocherville we ended up riding to chandler a got in at 1am.we were told is was the busiest week of the year of the year with the most tours.Its the smaller towns with only a few chocies or just 1 hotel you might have a problem with. Jeff

any updates?going from sun to wed would like to leave pittsburg or sawyerville cross over the boarder and go to rdl then back or should we think of shawinigan? the less time in the truck the better pittsburg/sawyerville are both a little over 3 hrs and shawinigan is 6hrs any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Jeff

Is that you Stan? did you find anyone to go up with yet? Jeff

it is either in the nothern part of shawinigan or north of the city kind of a small place with kitchen in the rooms it sounded like lock stable or something close it has direct trail access thats about all I have sorry Jeff

Yes I do I jst need to break the new sled in and at this point time and money won't allow me to go were I realy want to go but hopefully soon thanks for the info Jeff
