That is really cool to go for a trip with your friend. I think most of us have seen these trucks going, it is interesting hear some of the details about these monsters!
A few of us are heading to the Gaspesie after the roads close. Spring sledding up there is awesome and it looks like conditions are going to be great. Lots of snow on the south shore of the gaspe, incredible amounts on the north shore and no mild weather in the immediate forecast. Anyone else going to be there at the same time?
In the Gaspesie there are many:
TQ 5 in Matane
TQ5 Riviere Madeleine. 288 feet
TQ 5 near Gaspe
TQ 5 halfway between pointe a la Croix and albertville
597 just outside Chandler
Sounds like you had a great trip, the Gasps always is fun. Weather can change things so fast in the Gaspesie! I am not surprised you are going back again, a very addictive place to sled!!
Your right Tom, unpredictable is a good description. I have been detoured down the 132 on a few occasions because of too much snow in the hills! All part of what makes the Gasps great.
Heading up for a 4 day weekend starting March 5th. Spring sledding is awesome up there!
Riding in the Gaspe is always an adventure! I have never been to a place that can dump as much show in such a short time and effect trail so much. Extremes of weather and elevation make it an adventure.
Glad you didn't have any serious issues and did get lots of good riding.
