dooright Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 (edited) Drove up from Vt to Forestville Sunday and met up with Roadrunner our friends from Maine . Left this morning on rock hard local trails towards Chenail du Nord After a quick stop we're off to the Pipmuacan Reservoir. Dropped on down to pourvoirie Itouk to say hi to Luc the place was rocking on a sunny Monday afternoon ! Next stop La Chapelle then off to Km31 for the night . 215 miles for the day Was awesome this morning to see and chat with Trailblazer in Forestville and meeting Linda sled girl here at the 31 ! Tomorrow, we'll see . Edited March 5 by dooright iceman, MrGutz, mccaffrey and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooright Posted March 7 Author Report Share Posted March 7 Today had a little of a delay start leaving Km31 , had a stud vs aluminum heat exchanger issue with one of the team members .. all good with some fancy epoxy goop . Did a few work-arounds to skip the 93 on the way to the Escoumins club house, we popped out by De l'Or-Piste on the Pelchat trail . Smooth sailing all the way . Conditions from mashed potatoes to skating rink . Ran some local trails and 330/ TQ3 into Forestville for the night. Coverage starting to disappear here n there... but 3 days near 50°f will do that MrGutz, wng-2, smclelan and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dooright Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 Day 4 , went out of Forestville, east on Tq3 about a mile then all local orange trails . Definitely keeping sleds cool was a challenge after it being 50° ish yesterday and below freezing today . Awesome day on the trails for sure 👌! Forecast for the weekend looks promising, 6+ inches hopefully.. but we're outta here for now on the way back to Vermont .

markusvt Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 That's 10 days out, you would need secret decoder ring, magic 8 ball, crystal ball or Ouija board to figure that one out. 😉 dooright, mccaffrey, MrGutz and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
