Mid Range Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Even though Lepine Road wasn't in it's greatest shape,lots of white gold in Clova (3-4 feet).Stayed at the Tamarac.Thank you Al and Carole.Food was awesome.Home made meals with a personal touch,courtesy of our great cook Carole.See you soon.Since there was snow on the road we went all the way down to TQ 63 today.8-9 inches of powder on Lepine road but lots of big potatoes (rocks)underneath in the Lepine bridge area.Loggers are supoosed to start next week their logging operations.So it means take the woodrunner trail via Rabaska lodge if you guys want to go to Clova.

Mid Range Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Iceman First map is Lepine road shown in green.Second map is Woodrunner trail shown in black. Woodrunner trail meets up with Lepine road at Km 54.Pensive (relay) is at Km57. From Km 54 to km 68 approx, they flatten up the snow bank on the shoulder for sledders. But most of us are staying on the road when there’s snow on it. North of km 68 is the groomed trail There is no trail south of km 54. We (locals) are jumping on it all the way down to TQ 63 which is crossing Lepine road at km 5 when it’s ridable and not sanded. It all depends of logging operations. here's a map of outaouais-laurentides. http://www.tourismeoutaouais.com/_upload/documentstrousse/2011-11-17cartemotoneige2.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
