Northbound Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Does anyone have any info about the TQ3 between Forestville and Baie Comeau. I didnt know if they were just low on snow or if they have bridge issues. I thought that i heard somewhere that they had eliminated the escort truck over the river and had built a new bridge. We were planning on passing through there in a couple of weeks. Thanks ahead of time for any info anyone may have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi Northbound, Wecome to Quebec Rider. I've read the same thing about 3 but I don't know what exactly is closed. What I read earlier was the escort was gone but you could still pass without it. I think the new bridge may be for next year. Depending on where you are traveling to and from, you could take the south shore, trail 5, and ferry across at Matane if you are heading to Sept Iles.

Northbound Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thanks for the info. The new report is showing limited which means groomer is probably right in that they are just low on snow. Hopefully that will improve............revct1, I think we may have met you several years ago in Latuque. We are Jeff & Sandy from Ohio. We remember meeting a couple from Ct. who came up on weekends and kept their sleds in Valcourt. Was that you? If it was, Hi again. We usually start around Q city, loop the Gaspe, ferry across @ Matane, and then loop Lac St J.......................Groomer, someday I hope we will meet you. We have always really enjoyed looking at your pictures, summer and winter. We have been looping the Gaspe since 2000. We have seen your work, but we have never seen you on the trail. When we pass through you may be posting or shaving? Seriously, we usually overnight in Amqi so we pass your cluhouse in the morning when it is closed. It is so nice to see someone who takes such pride in his work..................THANK YOU Jeff & Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revct1 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi Jeff & Sandy, It sounds like it was probably us at La Tuque. We only know one other couple from CT that keeps their sleds in Valcourt and we ride with them but they don`t post here. We stayed at Lac Faillon last night and spoke with two frenchmen that live in Baie Comeau. They drove their truck to Les Escoumins because of the low snow conditions at Baie Comeau. They were also out for a big trip. Hope to see you on the trail again. Jack & Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
