Je me souviens Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Wanted one more trip on the batmobile before breaking out the snowmobile. Mattawin to Kanawata via the northern roads on Saturday and return to the truck via the southern roads Sunday. It was a relatively short trip so we didn’t have to start so early in the morning, allowing the sun to warm things up a little for us. Saturday afternoon the rain hit just as we pulled into Kanawata, so we brought the luggage in our rooms. About 20 minutes later the sun came back out, so we headed Nord to Casey and checked out the new stripping on the runway. Back down to Kanawata for supper. 200 miles for the day. We watched the Habs beat Bedard and the Hawks on the new couches. There has been significant investment made in the last 2 years at Kanawata, you might not recognize it now. Sunday morning Mario fed us all the big breakfast plate before hitting the trail back to the truck. The drizzle kept the dust down most of the day. Stopped at the Mattawin damn for the first time in years and had a snack. 150 miles for the day. Here are some pics. PS the road between Repos and the Manawan cut off is the current title holder for bumpiest gravel road in Quebec right now.

Je me souviens Posted October 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 A 3 pack of bikes spent the night at Kanawata, spoke to one of them for a while. He said as long as you avoid the “potatoes” on the road it’s fine. He said his group rented X3’s a few years back, he said that was fun too. wng-2, MrGutz, smclelan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipemaster Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Wow , Kanawata looks way different. We were there last January and there were a lot of improvements and the new barn. Are Mario and Celine still there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Je me souviens Posted October 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Mario is still there, I don’t think Celine is part of the picture, but I didn’t ask. dooright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
