    Hi jack, nice reports always interesting.  On your tool box issue if you purchase the linq stackable 4 gal you can place tool box on top sometimes you may need shims they sell or adapter plates . I have the gas caddy and put the sport bag on top . If you like I can send pic .. Have great time

    Was waiting for this topic to come up someday. I have been bringing mine on saddlebag trips for about 8 years now. Here is pic showing it bungied (Green & Blue Bungies) on my seat, never had a issue. 3 in my group bring them along now. There are traveler versions of CPAP's now that are about 1/3 the size of a normal CPAP. My next expenditure.

    Last night we are eating in the restaurant and see the groomer making a pass.  This is a good sign!

    This morning  its overcast, -20C and very windy.  The calendar says March 4th but the conditions say February 4th.  The groomers were out in force last night.  A lot of green on the map.  We decide to take 5 east and then circle back on 35 to 85.

    Sandi and I head out and the trail is nice.  We get to trail 5 and turn left.  The open fields are pretty windy.  Its trying to blow us right off the trail.  No drifting, just a lot of wind.  We get into the woods and its much better.  The trail is really good.  We book along and get to Relais Trois Pistoles.  It must be race day here.  The lot is full, there is an excavator out on the drag strip and a lot of people and sleds around.  No time to stop here.  We keep on running.  A few sleds coming towards us.  Maybe going to the races.  The power lines weren't groomed last night but the trail is still good.  Just a little character in the trail, no big bumps.  Time to warm up at Relais L'Etang.  Only a few sleds here.  We like to take a stop here even if it is just to have a coffee / chocolate.  A few sleds pull in while we are here.  A couple of guys grabbing beers at the bar.  Its 10:00 AM?  No beer for us.  That can wait until we are back in the hotel.

    Back on the sleds and keep heading east.  We get to 35 and this looks good too.  Now we are away from the St Lawrence and more in the woods.  The wind only kicks up a little when we get into a field.  No drifts.  The snow is quite a bit fluffier here than it was back in RDL.  This area looks like they got 8-10 inches where RDL was more like 4-6.  We haven't come across too many sleds today.  This 35 is such a nice trail.  We are running along the section that parallels the little river.  Nice rolling hills and gentle curves.  Good trail.

    Heading towards Squatec and we get to where 546 goes straight and 35 goes left.  Last trip we took 35, this time its 546.  A few twisties in the woods and then the trail opens up and its a nice trail.  I haven't been on this in a long time.  A very pleasant surprise.  We get to Squatec and have lunch at the small diner in town.  Two two-uppers here.  We have lunch and warm up a bit.  Its a nice little lunch stop.

    We are back on the sleds and still on 35 heading west.  This is still in good shape.  As we get up in elevation, the wind picks up again.  Still in the woods so its not too bad.  We cruise on into St Louis du Ha! Ha!  What a name for a town.  We turn right on 85 and start the final leg back to the Universal.  As always this is nice.  Not fresh groomed but smooth with a bunch of tracks on it.  We go by Relais Adventurer and notice a lot of sleds here.  The drag strip was just manicured today.  I'll bet they are having a big event tomorrow.

    Back home at the Universal.  Another nice ride in RDL land.  Hoping to meet a few other QuebecRider folks tonight.  Have a great night and we hope you can get one more trip in.  The riding is still great here, Gaspe and up at Lac St Jean.

  25. Border crossing with a DUI

    in General Discussion

    Snow farmer pretty much hits the nail on the head. I was denied entry once because I had some horseshoes in my car at crossing time once and they thought I was going to sell them so they denied me entry sent me back stated to get rid of the shoes.They allowed me in after but I was flagged so ever time I went they sent me into immigrations for questioning and I was always allowed entry but very annoying. This lasted 87 visits until the famous Sno beeler invited me on one of his trips to Quebec where we were detained per usual finally one of the officers reviewed my case and removed the flag and said after 87 crossings I think your ok that's was a big relief because everyone in our party were sweating bullets thinking Thier going to jail haha. My advice when crossing A - know exactly where your going and what your doing . B - be terse in your explanation c- don't offer any side bar conversation. They have the right to do whatever they see fit to do there job.
