One thing for sure, if you make it next year, you'll get the prize for coming the furthest, for sure.
Bill
Would that prize be liquid Bill ?

Great photo's everybody - not so sure about the bear though! We don't have things like that here in the U.K.
We will definately try to be there at the next gathering Bill. As comparitively new snowmobilers any information we can gleen from 'experts' is always welcome.

Yesterday/evening Mr and Mrs andyman, timbo, chopper,ruffus, longriderSS, The Skipper, keith,dave saguenaydele and saguenaybill had dinner and a few at the CMV. We all had a great time. More and laughter to come today.
Bill, sounds like you all had a great time. All being well, we will plan the weekend into our schedule next year to make sure we can come too, all the way from the U.K !
Would be good to see some pic's if anybody took some.

Hi All QR members
I had thought earlier in the year that we would have the Summer Gathering in 2010, giving this year a rest. But due to popular demand we are going to have one this year. The weekend of July 17 and 18 has been selected. We will have it at the CMV, Cannon Mountain View, again. Their web site is www.cannonmtview.com or call 1-800-823-9577 for reservations. Please join us for a great time and lots of sled talk.
Bill
Oh Bill, if only!!! :sad: Happy Birthday for Monday by the way.

Your continued support in spreading the word of the AdmdQ opportunity and recommending membership to all QR’s is invited. I believe that Saguenay Bill signed up 24 new members at his HI kiosk this winter. Great work Sir, glad that you had a super season. Thank you!

Saguenay Bill will be signing up another two when we see him in NH in October - so we will possibly be the furthest away members after all.

Clarkely,
I agree that the new map feature is cool and as it continues to function glitch free we will see the english side get the same update. I'm glad that you are checking out the available info. Hang in there, practice francais and use google translate as I do, because there will always be greater content available on the french side.
Greg, this sounds good especially to us. My wife and I first 'came to snowmobiling' in 2003 on a dog-sledding adventure holiday from the U.K. We wern't keen on the ds but fell in love with snowmobiling and beautiful Quebec region. We have had 5 holidays in the Saguenay area now and totally agree with you regarding several points about renting tourist's such as ourselves. Our first two holidays were lucky enough to be guided and instructed by an amazing man called Jean-Claude Leduc, from Jonquiere, who is sadly no longer with us. He instilled all aspects of safety into us continually. As you can imagine coming all the way from U.K. plus having to rent everything, including a guide, when we get there is a very expensive holiday for us and we would welcome any sort of concession for long distance tourists. We have quite a few friends who love the idea of what we do but it is just to expensive for them to give it a try. Also I am in total agreement with you that more training is necessary for renting tourists, especially regarding road crossings.
Our thanks also go to Saguenay Bill who is a never ending source of information at the HI.

That is a great honor. Maybe you could get him to come to the Holiday Inn for a beer with us!
Mike
Nice idea Mike. Could you make that next time we are there from the U.K.

Absolutely. However I have certain ground rules. #1. Train leaves at 7:45AM. Coming out to the sled at that time doesn't count. #2 Stay on the trail. We ride alot of private property. #3 No alcohol until the sleds are parked for the night. #4 Be prepared for a 200 mile day. If you can live with this, you can ride with me. If you can't, well that's your decision. Don't mean to be a hard a$$ but that's the way I live my life.
Hi Bill
Just to let you know that I have joined Gary to the site so we can keep and eye on whats going on in the Snomowbiling world even if we can not be there as often as you and some of the others are. Thanks to you and JD for helping to make it a good holiday for us, James & Duncan a few weeks ago. Look forward to being back on the trails as soon as we can

I know it's a long time since this thread was started but I just found it and made my wife read all the posts as well. Thank's to all of you for such helpful info. Your all experienced riders and we two only get to enjoy this wonderful sport for a couple of weeks each year (our 5th this year) so any info we can get is great for us. We always try to use hand signals though Pat has discovered that this is not easy for her when attempting to take a corner at the same time (I say no more!).
We dearly wanted the Collett Communicators but wonder if Collett are no longer in business as their phones and e-mails are not answered. There was a note on their webside to say that they were moving but that has now gone. Does anyone know anything about them please?
