smclelan Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I was by La Cache a couple weekends ago and it appeared to be closed. There were ropes across the driveway and no signs of life. Has anyone heard any thing? I know it has been for sale for almost two years. No gas there would virtually close the 595. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Do they sell gas? Steven Thad and I got gas at that logging camp two winters ago, in late March. They were happy to sell gas. Didn't have the occassion to stop there last winter. As Jean-Guy says, if they are logging this winter gas should not be a problem. timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindasledgirl Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 This is a good time to think of all the little business owners on the trails that sometimes we complain about prices but if we don't stop to support them, they will be forced out of business. We have places like this in Ontario and one trail in particular from Sault Ste Marie to Wawa on the 'D' trail along Lake Superiour...the half way house with fuel and food...closed. It has closed the trail. Poor Sudbury Ontario had 2 years very little snow and then last year they got snow but there was snow in the southern part of Ontario for a change so lots of people didn't bother to go so far north and that is putting huge strain on the lodges, restaurants and gas bars. Last year at the end of a long day, we found one of our stops closed! So the moral to my rambling...is think of these people that make the trails happen. We need them, they need us.

smclelan Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Anyone know how much it's for sale for? I'm ready for a change! When I was there in the sumer I believe he was looking for $280K. I suspect he would negoiate now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 1 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Anyone know how much it's for sale for? I'm ready for a change! Somehow I cannot see Lynn living at La Cache...How far to the nearest mall or restaurant??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Somehow I cannot see Lynn living at La Cache...How far to the nearest mall or restaurant??? I lucked out, she's not a shopper, besides she would be to busy cooking and splitting wood! I think 280k is a bit much for the location and what you get. Le Goeland on the other hand is nice, but a mill more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 La Cache is in a great location, but needs some $$ to make it work IMO. It needs some tent/camper set ups, 4-6 nice cabins and the resturant/kitchen upgraded. It is an ideal location for moose hunting, salmon fishing, hiking, ATVs, snowmobiling, plus only 10 miles from the Gaspesie National park.

When I said location I meant scenic, compared to the rest of the views you see riding. I don't know how much business they do in the other 3 seasons, but at $280k plus all those improvements, upgrades and new cabins, it's a bit risky in this economy.
