Where you headed Ice? We will be up for 5 days next week and heading up to Mt. Valin area.

The southern side between La Tuque and River Matawin.

Not to highjack this thread but can you cross from the south side of the river and get to St Rose-du-Nord on the river? We are coming up from the south and want to stay away from the cities if possible? Thanks Bob

And there are a TON of trees down on our local trails. :bh:

Three weeks ago we did the 23 and 369 option after getting advice from a local. It may be different now but we took the advice given. Great advice because 369 was outstanding.

Will do. I will post a trip report when I get back.

Cool - Thanks Jean Guy

Looking for some help guys. We are coming up tomorrow and starting from St. Raymond and trying to get to Tadoussco. Is this passable and are they grooming it? Thanks, Guys

Yeah just 2 days ago that club was closed and now shows open and limited. Was hoping for some hands on info over the next couple days. Thanks

2x - looking for trail info going from St. Raymond to Tadoussac? Will be up next wed. Would like to get to the ferry before dark.

Gotcha - I see it on a map now. Thanks

You are talking about the 369 out of L'Etape right? Never been on it but have taken 23 many times headed up to the Valins.

I believe this is the reason for the added miles. Good news for Philp and Odanak.

Definitely in my top 5. We will be going south from Roberval to La Tuque though.

That is it exactly. I would really like to show the boys Relais 22 and that stretch of 83. But am I sure 93 in the Valins will be good enough for them.

Thanks Jack - I know what you are talking about with 347 going to Odanak. That is our destination for that leg of the trip actually. Two years ago with did River Mattawin (Richards Place) to Roberval in a day. What a great day that was. I will keep looking for that short cut of maybe it is just me dreaming of a short cut. Bob

I know of the road that runs into Relias 22, but have never heard of the log road short cut out of La Tuque. I now where the airport is in La Tuque though. Last year someone posted a lake you can run to cut off a ton of time. I even see the lake on the map just not sure how to get on and off of it.

In a few weeks we are doing a loop and one leg of the loop will be going from Roberval to Relias 22 and then on to La Tuque. Last year someone posted a short cut running a lake from Relias 22 to La Tuque and I thought they posted coordinates. I tried to find it and couldn't. Any help would be great. Thanks, Bob

LOL - my thoughts exactly Mark. I have been here before with the wifey.

Thanks for all the responses. Any of you guys ever stay here? http://www.chaletsetspa.com Arubenstein - If we have room I will definitely pass along an invite. Right now we have 6 but I am sure it will only be 4 or 5 before we leave. I have been coming up since 99. We are bring up a few buddies that we teased with a quick trip last year for the first time. They are hooked now.

Thanks for he reply's so far guys. I have actually stopped here with my wife several years back. It was a nice place to stay with my wife, but not sure of with the boys.

We are doing a saddle bag trip with a bunch of buddies that have never been to the Lac Saint-Jean area. I am looking for a nice quite country like place to stay. I have stayed at Jake's place in Lac Bouchette before but he is not open this year. I would like to stay in a place very similar to Jake's place if possible. Looking for a place between Herberville and Roberval if possible. Thanks in advance. Bob

That sucks and thanks for the info. I will have to call and find out. I hope is wife is ok.

Thanks GT but when I click on the link it sends me no where.

Does anyone have a website or phone number for this place? It where 355 and 83 intersect. We stayed here several years ago and want to again this winter. Thanks
