markusvt Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) With careful planning you don't need it, but it sure was handy! In past years depending on who/how it was run it was really nice to have there. Maybe Greg can leverage his contacts in the area and let us know if there is any chance of it being open. Mark.

snowdogs Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 That place saved my butt a couple years ago when riding in freezing rain I missed a turn and put my sled out of commission, met a super nice guy from Alma who rode his sled home, came back with his truck and brought me to the trailer in Beaupre, I spent 4 hours there watching curling (wanted to kill myself LOL). Damn shame but it seems like they have had issues the last few years trying to keep it open. We stay in contact and are friends now. In case he reads this, Rejean Bouchard you are a great person.

Pipeman Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hmmmm, I swore I was told by a local up there they would be open with food and gas this winter. I'll do some digging.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev39 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Would be a disappointment if they didn't serve food this year. Was always better than the chicken place in LeTape. It was a nice stop about halfway between LSJ and St Raymond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 That place had great hot chocolate, fuel and a bathroom (very appreciated last year, it was -39C that day)...how can they not find someone to work? I second that, was a very very cold day. Having hot chocolate and coffee in the middle of the Parc is a gift, hope to have it again this season.

snowfarmer Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) I remember that day! JG and I rode out in front of everybody after the rest stop because my visor stopped working. Snow dust was bad but we had a good run of cat and mouse. Edited December 6, 2013 by snowfarmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
