towing

We get going about 8:30. It’s 28 degrees and sunny. Trail 526 is groomed again this morning. It seems like the club works real hard keeping the trail nice here around town.

The local is short. 35 is smooth with fluff on top. We make haste.

When we get back on the trail it’s snowing pretty hard. The trail is accumulating a good amount. We make our way West to a short local that connects to TQ35.

We make our way to 5 and 557. There is not much traffic today. One group of 5 going East. We stop at the clubhouse for a break.

We get on TQ5 and again happy trails. We make our way west. The snow flakes get bigger as we go. We pass a relais just east of 561. It looks closedown. I remember stopping there a few years ago.

526 is smooth!! The groomer must have been through last night.

Day 11 138 Miles
We woke to freezing rain. Feeling a bit lazy this morning we take our time for breakfast. Gemma tells me her feet are getting wet out on the trail. After breakfast we take a drive over to the mall. Google says that Baffin boots are in 3 stores. No luck finding the model she wants. We head over to the dealer. No Baffin boots but Gemma finds a pair she likes. We get back to the hotel and get ready for a ride. It’s 12:15 when we leave. It’s snowing and my gauge says 33 degrees.

You do such a nice job of catching each trail section in your pictures and the happiness of rolling along through the country side.

Last photo of the day. 
 
We arrive at the hotel and meet up with mike for dinner. Another great day.

We take 44 to 85. As we get to 85 I see the trail is getting thin. Wednesday snow!

We get on 544. Again nice trails.

We get on 571. The trail is in nice shape.

We take 35 west. The first oncoming snowmobile of the day passes.

We’re back in Quebec on the orange trail. We pass a road and can see puddles. It’s been warm today.

It’s 30 miles to Quebec from Moose Valley.

We did not see any Moose but could tell some were around. The trails are nice.

After lunch we backtrack to get trail 150. And head for RDL. Again we are first tracks for a few miles then we follow one track.

We arrive at Moose Valley at 12:15. We get fuel and stop for lunch. There are quite a few snowmobiles here. We saw only 3 all day.

It’s about 44 miles to Moose Valley. We take 155 to 17. The trails are smooth with a little fluff on top. The signing is less than Quebec. I have trakmaps on the GPS.

At 44 miles we reached the border. There was some logging in this area. 

We reached the Zec Bas-Saint-Laurent 29 miles in. 

Some shots of the the first 29 miles from the gas station.

Just passed the gas station is the orange trail to New Brunswick. We are first tracks for about a mile then there’s one track that we follow. 

We take 587 over to Saint-Irene. We stop at the gas station and fuel up.

Day 10 221 Miles
We are off to a slow start it’s nearly 9 when we get going. The sky is blue and it’s 26 degrees. We take the orange trail out of town. It had been groomed last night.
