iceman Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Just off the phone with Rejean from Le Goeland. No Gas at his place and No Restaurant open. Chalets and Condos open to sleep. Gas at Domaine Lac Edward. New Restaurant 4km from Goeland and I would guess at Domaine Lac Edward too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Snowman Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hey Don, Why no gas at Le Goeland? Is Rejean slowly shutting down his operations there? Does he still have his excavator & backhoe business? Did Domaine Lac Eduard sell gas last year?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 He still doing excavation, yes. Did not get into it in detail with him. Sign of the times I think. It is for sale the Relais but has been for more then a year. Just a way to cut back I guess with no gas and no Resto. Domaine had no gas last year but that was always the place for gas, much more convienent too as its on the way no side detour to Goeland. As long as there is gas then its ok. Food at Domaine is fine but takes a long time to get to the table. Gas and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mt Apica sorry to see it closed but not a factor. Perce same thing. Not a game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Snowman Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Domaine was always easier for gas. Very slow on food. Agreed gas & go & a candy bar! Since they did not sell gas last year are you sure they will this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Snowman Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Where did you get the gas can set-up, did you make it or can you buy it somewhere? Thanks I had my dealer install them on both sides. Yamaha Fuel Caddy Set part # SMA-8GL73-CD-DY. My dealer then used/modified some saddle bags to enclose them. Good luck!!

actionjack Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 My group bought gas last season at Domaine Lac Eduard. We would have SOL if there had been no gas there. May also be gas 20k south at Relais du Trappeur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Might be they just had no gas the times i was there last year at Domaine Lac Edward. Bad timing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizz Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 We got gas there as well. I kind of like the place, never seemed slow to me. We have talked about staying there but the trips just never worked out that way so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
