Last Honey hole ....

Sent my annual dues today , I still like to be part of the party here 😃

😬

Just a bit foggy driving back along the river on the way back to VT .

We met one sled all the way back to Forestville .. so odd in the freezing rain Guess ya needed to be the adventurous type 😎

A few more pics from today , sunny longer today than expected . Looks like rain tomorrow .

Left some fun un-done a few weeks back up in the new snow . So we return ! Forestville to points west

Beer-30

I know this place !

We needed fuel for around a planned 220 mile run

Update "La Fleche" The Arrow https://www.pourvoiries.com/en/outfitters/la-fleche-pourvoirie-du-reservoir-pipmuacan-02-577?fbclid=IwAR3u1uYysgiw-9vpCyr48WSXEg60NgqA61bxzvBDSt_deA7-vJdN4BegOg0

Day 4 , went out of Forestville, east on Tq3 about a mile then all local orange trails . Definitely keeping sleds cool was a challenge after it being 50° ish yesterday and below freezing today . Awesome day on the trails for sure 👌! Forecast for the weekend looks promising, 6+ inches hopefully.. but we're outta here for now on the way back to Vermont . Cheers

Today had a little of a delay start leaving Km31 , had a stud vs aluminum heat exchanger issue with one of the team members .. all good with some fancy epoxy goop . Did a few work-arounds to skip the 93 on the way to the Escoumins club house, we popped out by De l'Or-Piste on the Pelchat trail . Smooth sailing all the way . Conditions from mashed potatoes to skating rink . Ran some local trails and 330/ TQ3 into Forestville for the night. Coverage starting to disappear here n there... but 3 days near 50°f will do that

"curse of Bullwinkle" 😆

Found some big changes at pourvoirie Pipmuacan .. all new huge building replacing the old . Top picture of what was there last year and under today . Didn't see any signs of if/when it'll be reopened ?

Day 2 .. Ran northwest of the Pipmuacan today on mostly local trails n such . Really warm this morning (50°f) swapping to some snow this evening back here at Km31 . 220 miles for today

No , not open the past few winters But Benoit has cameras working there ... he has a snapshot of us dumping fuel and posted on there fb !

Drove up from Vt to Forestville Sunday and met up with Roadrunner our friends from Maine . Left this morning on rock hard local trails towards Chenail du Nord After a quick stop we're off to the Pipmuacan Reservoir. Dropped on down to pourvoirie Itouk to say hi to Luc the place was rocking on a sunny Monday afternoon ! Next stop La Chapelle then off to Km31 for the night . 215 miles for the day Was awesome this morning to see and chat with Trailblazer in Forestville and meeting Linda sled girl here at the 31 ! Tomorrow, we'll see .

Tried it a few weeks ago .. awesome 👌

Wake up to -20°f here at Windigo with a full moon hanging in the west sky . Say Salute to our good friends Iceman , Snohorse, HH-Moose, Mar"K" and Phil-2 .. memorable times with like minded friends 🙂. Rolled out west to Waymo for fuel, off to Camp de Casey for lunch and WiFi. Repo for a splash of Dino-Bones then Mattawin to the trucks n back to Vermont. Trails were pretty much the typical this season ... good , bad, ugly .. but I'd do it all over again 😄. Let's all hope the 10 day forecast isn't as bad as it looks ... Grab it while ya can Mes amis !

Saturday, heading to Windigo from Barrage Gouin to meet up with some awesome friends ! Plan is to cross country it the whole way (ended up using about a mile of marked trails in a 192 mile day ) Awesome mission . Super fun evening meeting up with Team iceman and the balance of Team Vermont . Of course the host here at Windigo top notch as usual 😁 . http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_02/20240224_173342.thumb.jpg.9d6b0dc9c704610db89d1162ed140e4b.jpg http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_02/Screenshot_20240224_170914_Gallery.thumb.jpg.539579ba53249384e18a191018424cb1.jpg http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_02/Screenshot_20240224_160233_Messenger.thumb.jpg.38c9464f951a18d9442fcc12d99dfc0e.jpg http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_02/Screenshot_20240224_160019_Gallery.thumb.jpg.b570e1308d4e5f26877e3e2f5ccf6a56.jpg http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_02/Screenshot_20240224_155949_Gallery.thumb.jpg.e793c15706bb73493a2f1edb9a40bb25.jpg http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_02/Screenshot_20240224_155935_Gallery.thumb.jpg.c001432dc788c78860d5bdfd70736b61.jpg http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_02/Screenshot_20240224_155852_Messenger.thumb.jpg.395f0dd6ada3317f7b390a9f910d402b.jpg http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2024_02/Screenshot_20240224_155742_Messenger.thumb.jpg.d7bf2a68d227d17ee1863f7226cf25e3.jpg
