Mac Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Where are the M20 M21? I don't see them on the FMCQ map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSX800 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 M20 runs between 345 and 360 on the north side of the Mastigouche. M21 is a spur off that. I believe I’m correct in saying it at one time came out by the Windigo Outfitter. This screen shot is an approximation of where the trails are.http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2023_10/IMG_0177.thumb.jpeg.e9f5655c6f76f4645baed63031f663af.jpeg dooright and Je me souviens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope for next year. The longer it goes not open for us to use is bad. It could easily become history.

GSX800 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 In 2006 we rode 347 on our way up to Roberval. I would say about 10 miles before Odanak there was an open stream crossing. There was a guy on a Yamaha sitting on the other side. He stopped us and told us not to cross. His sled picked up the perfect size rock to wedge between the track and the forward bulkhead of his tunnel. We crossed on the ice of a little pond and stopped to help him out. There were eight of us plus him. We worked at it for about an hour but could not get that damn rock out of there. Tried to remove the axle but did not have the right tools to do it. He had sent the two guys he was riding with to La Tuque to get a hammer and a bar and said they should be back anytime. One of our guys had a couple of beers in his saddlebag leftover from the night before. We gave him one, and told him if we didn’t see his buddies by the time we got to La Tuque we would come back and get him. About three miles later we met his buddies on their way back for the rescue. Long story, but I have think about that trail every time we pass through. Too bad we lose those trails. zeusand, Je me souviens and iceman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About three miles later we met his buddies gs you never forgeton their way back for the rescue. Long story, but I have think about that trail every time we pass through. Too bad we lose those trails. We had the same thing happen in Northern Ontario years ago. It was about 50 miles from a town in either direction so we fought with it for 2 hours before it rolled out. One of those sled happenings you never forget. iceman, GSX800 and zeusand 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
