  1. Hi everyone. This is not directly related to snowmobiling but I would like to share this story. At the end of TQ3 the White Road begins which is mostly a gravel road in the summer months but only usable by snowmobiles in the winter, along the White Road are several communities (this area is known as the lower north shore) that are shut off from the rest of world and and everything most of us are able to get to by a quick car ride. Up there, the only access is by airplane and helicopter

    Hi Mark & Mike                   Far as I know I should still be here. Would be great to see you again.    Where you been all winter?

    Fortunately for my real estate business I have been too busy to get away...unfortunately my snowmobile time has suffered HUGE , only 300 miles which is ridiculous for me.

  3. Jennifer's father owns the only garage/shop in town and I just told her about the QR community. We now have a great connection on the white road for help there. If I can get my friends to do this trip next year that will be our plan

  4. So just in case you are there and cannot get ahold of me ask around town for Jen Gallichon, she has recently become a local celebrity due to serious health issues with her Bernese Mountain Dog, the lack of veterinary service and no way out except by snowmobile which she does ride and the amazing support from the community and air helicopter services. Her plight and the local response has garnered Canadian notional attention. It's a pretty cool story.

    Legally, all you need to enter Canada is some sort of photo ID.  It's entering the US that a Passport/Nexus card is required.

    Not completely  correct, the NY enhanced license is ok to come back to NY at least and  also crossed into NH from Quebec last winter with no problem (land and water)

  6. Glad you survived, we are starting a modified loop this upcoming Thursday, I have done it before and told the rest of the group "if you need to be somewhere  on a certain day don't go on this trip" . Shit happens and you must be ready for it,. Hoping we don't have to hunker down and hide out for a few days but I know what the possibilities are.

     

  7. Since we don't have specifics, I will chime in on La Glaciere, if a trailer was taken I would suspect that it was NOT in the secured area which has a narrow bridge to access that gets blocked by a truck every night, Lionel also has an extensive camera system to monitor everything on site, I think there are at least 4 cameras in the covered sled area which also has trucks blocking the exits at night and if you are in the bar/resto you can watch.  He closes everything up as soon as his guests are in for the night and always before 9:00 PM and only opens and closes them for late arrivals. He also lives on site.

  8. Looking for some intel for a trip plan. I have done the outer (coastal) trail loop in the past. Can anyone shed some light on what we might expect on the orange/local trails between the 5 just below Gaspe to 597 and the orange/local from Murdochville to 595, are they usually fast and good or more goat path and not groomed well. Any and all comments welcome.  Thank you in advance. Mark
