What track is Kwik Nick running on the FR? Any cooling issues?

Clova and Parent have it and I believe Relay 22

Some things have changed in Manawan since my first visit in 1995. A nice new grocery store with gas pumps without cages or locks and the Auberge Manawan that I've only heard good things about. With that being said some things haven't changed, stray dogs running the streets that look to be starving and kids interested in the outside world and that occasional stare like you have three heads......

My bad, I knew his name is Martin but didn't realize her name was Dominique.

Maybe there is a mix up in translation? I don't know of a Dominique at Rabaska but they may possibly be referring to Dominique in Clova that maintains the LePine trail from Rabaska to Clova.

Ok, now I'm confused.... You mentioned that you did this trip two yrs ago in four days and now your asking if it can be done in seven...

I'll pass...

We fueled there on a Sunday last season. No activity, we stopped at the pumps and a gentleman drove up in a truck and filled us up. Cash only. No food on the weekend other than vending machines.

Clova -Lac Faillon 100mi fuel should'nt b an issue.

Will be voting for Mark each day.

Do the groomers from West and East typically meet there?

As for any other winter month, it's totally dependent on one women......Mother nature.

Yes they offer a one day pass.$40

She patiently waits.

Ahhh. yes JG, looking at the picture on my computer I see now. But on my darn phone they looked a bit different.

JG The antlers on the roof, whitetail deer?

I also like Lepine road for a couple of different reasons. One being the direct route north through some great country from my starting point in Maniwaki. As far as Dominic, he has always treated my crew well and I support his establishment.

That's what I was looking for! Thank you.

I do have a SXS.. Would love to do some riding up that way if time permits. I did speak with Dominic last season and he told me that he was having problems with his small groomer but planned on grooming it if repairs get made. Idk maybe it's his way of saying if I don't get funded then I'm not grooming.

And word on the progress of the bridge on the Lepine trail crossing the Gatineau river?

Earning it the old fashion way, so I can play!

Same question as "what will the trails be like in two weeks?" Last season they were grooming 83 etc. south of the Saguenay before Valin.

Yes we are

Correct Mike, Natalie did state that they have a 99yr lease operating in the park. Very nice stop. She also told us that it's a 2.5hr drive one way to get supplies for the lodge.
