I believe gizz has hit the nail on the head. Tell your bride the doctor said yes, you could continue to ride, but only on a 2016 model suspension or newer. You can tell her you got a second opinion from a group a professional snowmobile consultants that agreed with the doctors recommendations.

I have a Garmin Montana 600. Great unit, nice 4" screen.

I had to look twice to figure out the first picture. The last one is a nice shot, many many people have stopped there to take a picture.

Great first report, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your reply dream of green. Your frustration level was maxed I am sure. I have been on a trip where a sled was taken from the "secure" compound, and the police really didn't seem to care. Hopefully this won't keep you from coming back again sometime. As you can tell from some of the replies most of us are passionate about Quebec.

The 1200 seems to be a good starting engine.

Sounds like from Grand Vallee over toward the Caribou is poor. However, it is not the 23rd yet and things can change damatically overnight in the Gaspesie!!

What could possibly go wrong?

I have stayed with Carol and Domminic both, absolutely no complaints with either. Domminic is offering accommodations now, Clova a great spot to stay in the remotes of Quebec!

Planning a trip the third week of March is risky, especially this year with low snow conditions.

You have the GPS track saved? Does a person need an Expedition to go through.......guess not, you made it with a Diesel! LOL

Thanks Andy, for the update! Where are you tonight?

The forecast is showing little bits of snow coming. 95% of the trail system will be very good, however the will be some thinner spots down low, close to the water.

Great news. Thanks Andy. There is a storm coming in back home!

Sounds and looks good. I have been wondering how things would fair today. Good to hear about the new snow in New Richmond

Having the paper work is best, as a buddy of mine always said " It is better to be looking at it, then looking for it"!!

That orange trail you took above PALC is a nice trail, freshly groomed makes it even better!

What kind of sledder goes South in the winter?? The ones that can!!!! LOL

Picture 3 looks like a Snow Cruiser. I started sledding back in 1969 on a 1967 Snow Cruiser.....it was fast as a D6 and just as fast!

Always get gas in Balbazrd! Remember even if the price is hig, it is better to have high priced gas verses no gas. I always get gas there even if it is just enough to make it to Clova, supporting them will help keep gas available. That is a huge stretch through that area and if you were to hit it during a big storm and not groomed you could burn much more gas than planned.

The place in New Richmond behind the restaurant across from the gas station is not very expensive. It certainly isn't the Francis!

A good start guys. Keep up the reports.

Great report and nice pictures. The Gaspesie is always good.....just sometimes more of an adventure than others!! Gas is no issue in the Gaspesie.

He was an awesome actor and very funny guy.
