Got our first 600 km in this past weekend. Left Sainte Anne du lac Saturday morning. Lots around town were packed with trucks with Ontario license plates. We barely got a spot. Headed for Mekos and then north to TQ 33. A little lumpy at first, but not bad. First half of TQ 33 was awesome. We met a big group at the big corner where the two clubs groomers meet. From there wasn't looking so good, but a mule up the trail we meet the groomer coming at us. It helped some. We did come to find that that large group had tore up pretty much all of the last 8 hours work that groomer had done att the way to Repo's. Regardless it was better. Headed for Manawin where we got fuel. Overall loose Conditions, but decent running. From Manawin we headed over to Repos. I'm sure lots on here will be disappointed to know we never hit the brake running through their lot. I'd just filled in Manawin at $1.70 and didn't feel like getting ripped off. Found a few washouts on 345 just north of Repos. Ended up running g the road to bypass them. Then 345 got good. Had really good running all the way to Casey. It was getting dark and a little cold, but all good. Things got rough at the alliance du nord border, but we managed. It was a laye start hitting the trails at 11, but we were parked and unloaded prior to 7 pm. Definitely worth going.

Next day headed towards Parent. I'd give the trails a 6 out of 10. Due for grooming. It was Sunday though so you get whawhat you get and don't get upset.  Trails on both sides pf Parent for a good distance are not great as others here have reported.  Once we got south on TQ13 they got much much better.  Had lunch at Fer a Cheval.  Then bee lined it due south for Sainte Anne du Lac.  More of the same with Sunday afternoon trails.  Some good.  Some getting rough.  We were back in the truck for 6 pm and hone just after midnight.  I'd say the entire are is rideable and mid week would be 8 out of 10.  It will take some more snow and a few more passes to get mid season.  Especially around Parent.  All in we had a great weekend.
