Instead of going into Val D Or, as a suggestion, consider heading east from Senneterre on 83 to Pourvoirie du Lac Failllon. It's an awesome spot. Very clean, food is great and fuel on site. It would make it a 293 mile day BUT the first 161 miles to Lebel Sur Quevillon will go by very very quickly. That would also give you a couple of hours extra the following day in case you have  an issue in the remote area.

X2 for Lac Fallion.

Book Lac Faillon early if you want to stay there. They fill up quick.

I was hoping to see something more attractive but ya its ok

I am just not into the Mont Valin.
lots of other places with far less people

Swisha north gets pretty remote on 386.  160 km seeing nothing but lakes and the odd hunting outfitter that's closed for the winter.  It's 200 km from Swisha to Temiscaming.  Haven't made the trip yet, but heading east from Val D'or towards Clova also looks to be quite remote.

I would think the later you go the easier to wing it....
You are in a crowded area for lodging .... We do a march trip that time of the month after clock changes for longer days and usually ideal temps..... But keep our group to 3 or 4 - so if we had to we could sleep in 1 room if that was all that was available

Whole administration should be forced to resign… not just Brandon

Opinion by Peter Lucas - Wednesday
 
Joe Biden could have been a good president.
All he had to do was leave things alone.
Instead, he blundered into the office and wrecked the country.
He is like the guy on a Boeing 747 high over the Atlantic Ocean who breaks into the cockpit and says, "I can fly this thing."
"You don't have to, Joe," the pilot says, "It's on autopilot. It flies itself. You know, computers."
Undeterred, Joe presses buttons and flips switches. The plane goes into a nosedive.
Which is where we are today. You don't put a guy like this in control.
He is President Doom. Everything he touches goes bad.
And nothing is his fault.
He took an energy-independent country and turned it into a nation begging Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil. Gasoline prices hit the roof and inflation soared. But it is not his fault.
He forgot how he preened on Day One of his presidency, launching his war on domestic produced energy in favor of his Green Dream of a fossil fuel free world.
Biden, John Kerry, his climate change czar, and the progressives would have you believe that the world will come to an end unless their anti-fossil fuel agenda adopted.
Yes, the world may come to an end. But the chances are the end will come sooner from the unleashing of nuclear weapons then it will come from the use of fossil fuels.
But you do not hear politicians like Biden or Kerry talk much about doing away with nuclear weapons. On the contrary. Biden is reopening nuclear negotiations with Iran which will eventually lead to the Iranians having a nuclear bomb.
This is the country where its religious fanatics have promised to use its first nuclear weapon on Israel and the second on the United States.
If I were to bet, I would wager on the world ending in a nuclear bang before closing out in a fossil fuel whimper.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world keeps pumping away, and the American people suffer. But it is not Biden's fault. It is Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine who is to blame, not Joe Biden.
Joe Biden took a working and strict border policy left to him by Donald Trump and turned it into a humanitarian disaster. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from countries around the world are pouring into the United States and nobody is stopping them. And many of them are dying along the way.
Bidens's decision to do away with border enforcement has also greatly facilitated the smuggling tons of drugs into the county, including deadly fentanyl from China that is killing many unsuspecting Americans.
But that is not his fault either. It was Trump's racist border policy that caused all the problems. Besides, he assigned Kamala Harris to get to the root of the problem.
Biden also authored the ill-conceived and humiliating pullout from Afghanistan, causing the unnecessary death of 13 Americans at the chaotic Kabul airport, leaving hundreds of Americans, abandoning thousands of Afghan allies, and throwing the country into the chaotic hands of the Taliban.
Naturally, he blamed Trump, which nobody bought.
The next thing you know Joe Biden will be blaming Putin for the Supreme Court's decision to send the abortion issue back to the states. Putin somehow must have gotten Trump to appoint three conservatives to the court in order to roil the country.
According to Biden, the "one thing" that has destabilized the country under his leadership has not been soaring gasoline prices, inflation, the open border, the shameful retreat in Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine, the frightening rising crime rate or the pandemic, but "the outrageous behavior" of the Supreme Court on the abortion issue.
The court did not destabilize the country. Joe Biden did.
This man does not belong in the cockpit.
Peter Lucas is a veteran Massachusetts political reporter and columnist.

They are getting away with it because too many people are busy watching dancing with the stars or following what basketball player the Kardashians are sleeping with...can't even make it up.

The Wall Street Journal reports that three years ago, 2019, the United States spent $60 billion on food stamps. 
 
This year, more than $120 billion will be spent - a double. And President Biden wants more taxpayer dollars to combat "food insecurity."
 
Of course, he does. Mr. Biden's solution to every problem is spending more money. The astronomical federal budget has caused inflation, which makes it harder for people to buy food. Biden then offers more free food, which will ignite even higher inflation.
 
Great.
 
Joe Biden doesn't care about any of that. Way too complicated for him. But his party cares deeply. Not about hungry folks - but about creating dependence on government.
 
Why do you think poor Americans overwhelmingly support the democrats? Entitlements, that's why.
 
And, by the way, many undocumented migrants will be getting those entitlements.
 
Finally, if you oppose outrageous spending, you are evil, a bigot, a greed head, a selfish American who does not pay "his fair share," to quote the socialist Bernie Sanders.
 
So we watch our country descend into a place without problem-solving, discipline, or self-reliance.
 
Please vote on November 8.

I don't know whether I was lucky to find a guy to both .... Or dumb to agree to it 🤣
Was prepared for the pain..... Didn't think about literally not having a leg to stand on.

Hi guys!
While doing some video archiving of my memories this summer I came across this funny event: the 1997 Gareau Folies in St-Gabriel de Brandon. Some of you probably remember I wrote about it before( the trail pass just aside this site, just below the belvedere of St-Gabriel) and for others, the concept was quite simple: using snow that had been buried during the winter and make a snowcross track to race for an afternoon...in July! Another great sledder idea!!!
A torture for the sleds and the pilots, especially after a few hours at 30C, but the show was great! The track was well thought out with jumps and several long water holes to keep the machines cooled.
We filmed it on 8mm tape so the quality isn't great but it gives a good sample of the event. In the 2nd half of the video I edit you a lap of the open category final at 4 sleds wide which had offered quite a show.
Turn the sound on!

I had a 1970 Panther Wankel 303 I was 13 years Old it was my 4th sled saved my Paper Route $$$ & Selling Night Crawlers!!!! It didn’t go fast but would go anywhere’s & Climb any Hill!!!!! U could hear me come in a mile away in the neighborhood!!!😆

Had a friend who is 55 - had two when he was 21 ..... He went for years with us age 35-48 ...... Then one time ...... Denied.....has to go through process of getting permission from CA govt to go.....
 
It is my understanding the catch to it all is if you had to do any jail time ..... He had county jail and work release ...... I would think they are stricter now as well
