14 snow Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Has anybody been or know someone who has been to the region lately? I know they were down on snow, especially the south shore. I am considering a trip to the region the first week of March. I just received an e-mail this morning indicating that some parts of the north shore got dumped on last night. Any "real" information would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore24 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Tried to ride the Gaspe this week. Started out in Fork Kent and crossed into Clair on Wed AM. NB 41 to PQ35 was the best ridng of the day. Wanted to take 550 across to stay away from the flat lands. Bumpy mush that dead ends at Lac Meruimticook. So THERE IS NO 550. After a 70 mile detour that cost us 3 hours we made it to Cabano at 2 PM. Had a nice lunch, rode down the lake and onto 569 for 10 miles. Trails never got any better. Can't groom witht he temperatures we've been having. We realized that there wasn't a chance in hell we'd make Matane that day. Also realized that unless there's a cold snap, the trails are toast and mileage is confined to local loops into the hills. Went back to Fort Kent. Summarized sleds on Thu and drove home to So ME, in the hurricaine. So much for our first trip to Gaspe. Did I mention we had a nice lunch?

Offshore24 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 did you check the weather report before you left. snowing now, cold and clear next week. where did you have lunch Yes we checked the weather. It was a crap shoot all week what this storm would do. There are people on here saying what great conditions they had just a week ago. Unfortunately for us, we had 7-day passes we had to order 2-weeks before trip and we had to go while family were away with other plans. Things got warm and fell apart this week. If it gets cold enough to groom that's great. Maybe next year for us. Don't know the name of the place we ate at. There's a big white sign off 85 just north of Cabano center that advertises a bar restaurant. Waitress was very friendly, helpful and attractive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidoo420 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I Know of the place,never ate there ,back to your Gaspe' trip long planned trips are hard to postpone, You must get back to there as the trails in that region are some of the best of the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore24 Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 That might have been the place. You turned off the main trail and go down into a little ravine into a summer time camp ground with a restaraunt/bar. Has a porch for dining and drinking in the summer. Camping trailers parked next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
