Day 4 Monday
 
Great night as usual with the gang here at Pouvorie La Dore. Gonna get up here this summer for a weekend for sure. Said goodbye to our new friends. They are very excited as soon they will get their one month break in April before starting season in May. Been a busy winter with advertising on I motoneige. Was a good move. 
Little colder thus morning making it comfortable in the gear. Seeing some grooming near restaurant du chef. 
 
Out to TQ93 and back to orange to Chef. Sweet grooming here. White asphalt. Gas at chef for the last time this season. Continue on still beautiful here groomed right to bridge on TQ93. Up TQ93 to 373. Getting used up in spots for sure. Seeing more and more ground less snow. Still good bit of nice trail. After one road crossing the Mrs is shooting wicked snow from right ski. We stop and it’s the curse of Bullwinkle. Rock jammed in snow tracker. We get sled tipped up, got the Mrs holding it while I try to extract the rock, rubber mallet and leatherman tool get er done. 
 
373 across to TQ93. Up to Girardville still cooler today have seen no sleds. Just at turn for Girardville one sled. Ruins our no sled day. We decided to go see if relais Lac des Coudes was open for lunch but got nothing more than a small bonus ride up and back. Closed on Monday. 
 
2pm at truck we decide we will sleep at home tonight, so it shall be. 
 
Great few days on great trails. Not as nice trail as last week here but very nice. 
 
So this year Caro saw three regions different. Escoumins in January, February saw her in RDL first time there and then to the Honey hole in LSJ and the Oasis in La Dore. 
Solid rider and gaining experience each day. 
 
She learned how to get rock out of Snow tracker.
And put her first middle rider in the bushes. 
 
 
Sweet ride back to Home. Great time. Dry road. 
 

Mrs. Ice is a great sport to share Mr. Ice's love of riding.  I assume we will see lots of pics of Mr. Ice on a paddle board this summer.
 

We certainly lucked out with our conditions, snow cover was good.  It was hard and icy early two mornings.  
All the businesses we stopped at commented on how they were missing the normal sled traffic.

Awesome! Was Chenail du Nord actually open? Thanks for the pics 👍

Drove up from Vt to Forestville Sunday and met up with Roadrunner our friends from Maine .

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 !

You go get it Team Vermont !  Way to much extra gas for those conditions ? Not looking like any one getting stuck any to soon.
