Snobeeler

I am saddened this morning to find out Yvon passed  about 1.5 years ago,his wife now lives in a home in Joliette. So many years and so many fun times 

Actually its a fire extinguisher

Heading there from Shawinigan in the morning, not in one days ride but you knew that 😀 then we will back track to Godbout take the Ferry Wednesday at 5pm to Matane and work our way back to Shawinigan. 

Day 7
  SMDS to Shawinigan.    All righty let’s wrap this run up. Short run today back home. Left Cabanon just before 10am. Just getting out of the corral was an adventure. We got one doing laps in the corral, why I’m not sure, another two pulling forward then backing up fast as they can, maybe some sort of ritual. Or voodoo. Anyway between laps We sneek out and hit the 345. Absolutely beautiful. Very good shape here. After jct with 23, the fun begins. Time to pick my way through this pack. I know Snohorse is gonna do the same. Make short work of this group. At jct 360 this side of bridge another big group stopped. Love when they are stopped makes it easier, not as fun but easier. Great trail all the way back up and to the jct on the top of the m-20. Another fine looking trail here. About halfway through we catch up to the groomer. After passing him is good but not as great. Corners all bumped up. A little further and we stop to check on 2 guys stopped, and what do you know, we have the pleasure of meeting Quebec Bob and his friend(sorry, did not catch his name) we could have talked for hours but we both had places to go. So until we meet again Bob. Down to Mattawin and it’s looks like free cheeseburgers or something at the restaurant. Crazy the amount of sleds there today. No cheeseburger on the schedule for us gas and go. 360 to St Joseph and to St Tite and 23. Very nice. 351 back to 3. Once again closer to Shawinigan, the more traffic and more used up it was. Must have been the same free burgers at Relais Station cause had to be at least 150 sleds there, probably more. Back down 3 and into the driveway here before 2:30. Short day to end an epic run. Conditions were very favorable and we saw some unbelievable trail. What Quebec is all about.    168 miles today,  1786 for the run of 6.5 days   Thanks for reading along. 

The imotoniege map is very reliable when using it to measure distances, I’ve used it and trusted its output on several occasions and found it was very accurate.
it doesn’t always choose the route you plan to use but that can be modified by inserting a waypoint and it will recalculate the new route.

Can't wait to see everyone.  We are going to be at the Delta, gone a few days and then back again.  Hope to see as many people as we can.
We just received an e-mail that Sandi's 1200 is ready to go.  Yea!

Thanks for all the reply's people. Jack, looks to me we will both be heading to the Delta on Sunday. Us from Q city and you from S Couer. See you there. I will be the guy with beer in hand, oh wait a minute, everyone will have a beer in hand. 

Its 200 miles give or take a few.

No they don't come standard on Ski Doos.  But they should come standard on Yamaha's.  I had a friend who's Yamaha, the one with the 2 exhaust pipes coming out just under the seat, and his saddlebag caught fire. Only thing left was the plastic handle of his toothbrush.  Great design.  Fire extinguisher mandatory for those ridding Yamaha saddlebaggers.  Not necessay with a Ski Doo.  I have mine to help out the Yamaha's that didn't come prepared.

Need I say anything.

I reserved online Ray, Thanks. They would have to do some heavy work to get my stuff. Been a victim twice. Planning on being at the Delta on Sunday Evening.

Hi Jay,
I saw that you posted a picture of Bill on his sled at the Delta Jan 30th.  That was our last day there.  We drove home on the 31st.  I thought you were with the guys that were with Bill at breakfast.  I didn't get a chance to talk to them but I figured you were with them.  We were hanging out with Farmer Old and his daughter.  It was kind of a hectic trip because Sandi's sled was broke and that put us behind so we were shuffling reservations around to still make the trip work.

Have a great time Pat and Gary, you always do! 
Well Eddie, last Tuesday night was the big one if you are talking work. So now I am not here on vacation, I just told the wife I was stepping out for a couple weeks to pick up the newspaper. BTW, wearing the sweat shirt as I type!!!    AND, ate an extra large order of the S & P wings last night. You have totally corrupted me. Next thing you know I will be going to that place down the street that doesn't exist.

Do the Ski-Doo’s come standard with a fire extinguisher?

mcstar is correct. X marks the spot.

The Mummies at Radar Tower are probably the most interesting sight I have ever seen in Quebec.
