Looks like mostly good news. Thanks for the update Greg.

OCT 5/6/7

Bill, will you have trail passes with you?

Anyone going to the show in Fremont this year?

Sacacomie?

Thanks Greg, say Hi to uncle Gordon for me.

This was the closest thing I could find to a summer sled. Put on 238 miles yesterday, Trails were flat and fast. I figured this may be the only way iI might catch Saguenay Bill for yearly milage.

Thanks Rob for a great job with this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At 7000 miles my clutch looked bad, faces were worn badly. I bought a brand new take off from a guy on Doo talk that put a pb 80 on his sled for 200.00$ Beats a rebuild and I think you can find one if you look around. 200.00$ for 7000 miles seems like a good deal to me.

9000 miles on elec reverse, has never missed. Riding buddy has mechanical, and some issues and broken broken handle.

YOU NEED A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!

Drop a PM to Sagunay Bill, there is a place to stay in the area. Bill knows the place and the owner. I bet you could do some good day trips from there.

We stayed there saturday night. About 1-2 miles off trail depending wich way you come int town. Pretty easy either way. Rooms were clean and big, but not new. Resturant on site, and one next to hotel. We had a reservation at the other hotel in town, The Invitation, got there at 10;00 at night, saddlebagging and they had given are room away because were not there by 8;00. Not much help from them fimding another hotel. Went to local gas stop and they gave us directions to the other hotel and they had 1 room left. Check times on reservations? We never had this happen before. I thought that was what a reservation was for.

It was on 93, nice fellow named Pierre ran the place.

Last year on our way back from Chibougamou we stopped at a relay about 40 miles outside of town on 83, had plenty of gas to get to La Dore. Are they still open? Sure beats stopping at the lumber yard.

Hey, I met a guy with wrecked sled from Saratoga, that wouldnt be your brother would it?

Came back from St Raymond yesterday, everything ok there.

Thanks for the post Don, We will be up your way next week. Glad to see you finally got some good snow in your area. 2 years in a row would suck. 800 Steve

Well I guess alls well that ends well. The snowmobile Gods have punished these guys for leaving me home. Sled problems have brought there trip to an early end. They came home 2 days early. I do feel bad for them, but next time they will know better. I hope there isnt a next time.

I was bustin my buddies until they called me this morning to tell me how good it looked. Its going to be torture a friend week now. I know those bastards wont let up all week if conditions are good. I dont know what I ever did to deserve this treatment. And if they say a reason why, dont beleive them.

Boy Fuzzy Im glad you dont ride with me, you have no compasion for the sick or badly injured.

I just had knee surgury yesterday, and my so called "Buddies' called me and told me they are leaving monday for a trip to Quebec, knowing I cant ride for at least a few weeks.Do you think I should continue to talk and or even ride with these no good rotten low life SOBs or try and find a better class of riders/friends to associate with. PS, these dirtbags say that they will keep me so well informed about the trip it will be like I am ALMOST there. Now I would Never do this to a real friend of mine, so please let me know what you would do. Thanks from a laid up Friend.

Thanks Mark, nice video,we rode that trail 2 weeks agoand it was great but we are trying not to drive so *&^%%$ far for our next trip.

How long before we can ride good trails south of Mt Valin?

People at the Escomins clubhouse said you can get to Pelchat. We were there Saturday.
