  1. This is a hard one. Here is 1 clue. This is north of Mont-Laurier....
  2. I'm lost again, where am I......
  3. This just came out today in a local newspaper from Falardeau, Lac St-Jean. Trail #93 is no longer going through the Valinouët Alpine Village. The trail has been relocated approximately 1 km from the the village. The Department of Transport has required this change for security reason.
  4. Nice guess, but you are off by 200 miles.......
  5. Where am I.... You guys are too good. No more outside photos.......
  6. This is what Mekoos looks like on the inside
  7. Meeko's it is. Very nice place, just north of Mont-Laurier
  8. Bill Got my trail pass today. Thanks for the good service.
  9. Andyman If you went from Lac Simon to Val-Barette, there is only 1 place to stop and it is Chez Punch. About halfway between these 2 places.
  10. Andyman I am not 100% certain but I think that this is Chez Punch. This is about 30 miles south of Mont-Laurier near Lac serpent. To go there you would have to ride the trail in park Papineau Labelle.
  11. This is what it looked like on Mont-Valin at the ski hill "Valinouet" Photo taken on October 29, 2007.
  12. Saw this photo on the quebec snowmobile website "CMIQ" This photo was taken on October 29, 2007 in Fermont
  13. This one should be a little bit harder. Stayed there for 1 night winter 2003. They have 3 small rustic chalets with queen size bed, cable TV, microwave and fridge loaded with snacks, juices and muffins for breakfast. Realy nice and clean.
  14. You got it. Did not see it last year. They probably tore it apart.
  15. Found this information on the Quebec Snowmobiling Federation website http://www.fcmq.qc.ca/english/pages.asp?id=85 Below they explain what you need before you leave. On of the items is a vehicle registration. This probably refers to a valid licence plate or licence sticker. I hope that this information will further clarify the importance of having your sled registered. A valid trail permit is mandatory to ride on the FCMQ snowmobile trail network. Three different kinds of permit are available for the public plus a specific permit for snowmobiles used by rental companies. Trail permits are available from your local club representatives. You can also buy them at your snowmobile dealer and at many restaurants and lodging places situated near the trail network. As you must know, most of the revenue from your permit goes directly to your club. So if you buy where you ride, your money improves the trails you ride most often. The 5.00% remitted to the FCMQ represents $11.00 per annual trail permit. From this sum $1.50 is transferred to Motoneige Québec magazine to help defray postage fees. $4.00 approximately are allocated for a special aid fund for club and for a fund dedicated to the promotion and protection of snowmobiling. The remaining dollars are for the financing of current operations of the Federation. What you need before you leave - Your FCMQ trail permit (sticker and blue receipt) - Your vehicle registration - Your driver's license (for public road crossings) - Proof of $500,000 liability insurance coverage - A proof of age (driver's license is sufficient) - A rental contract (if the snowmobile is rented) - A competence certificate (for 16 and 17 year old operators) The sticker is not sufficient! You must have the proof of purchase (large blue paper) from your trail permit in your possession at all times and be prepared to display it to a trail warden or peace officer as proof that you are circulating legally on the trails. Permit placement The permit is valid only when permanently affixed on the snowmobile. General Rules of the FCMQ (article 11) specify that the permit must be affixed on the left side of the cab.
  16. Just found out today that the Holiday Inn in Chicoutimie (Lac St-Jean) now has a surveillance camera system to keep an eye on the trailers and snowmobiles. This new system is monitored by the staff at the front desk and is also recorded. The fenced area will also be in place this winter. This is a nice addition to an already great system. Thanks to Saguenay Bill, I know that he had a lot to do with these new security improvements over the past couple of years. His recommendations are highly respected by the management of this hotel.
