Loaded the bags and headed to RDL. 122 miles freshly groomed arrived almost the same time as Shane and phil1who drove to RDL. Day 220 miles Was suppose to be to Cross Point but just before Rimouski sled running on 1 cylinder stopped at Doo dealer in Rimouski, broken wire to ECM. 3 hours later off to Amqui for the night. Trails sweet small drifts in the fields, ridicoulos amount of snow! Day 3 230 miles Amqui to Murdochville via the local to TQ 5. From MAtane to The st paulin clubhouse rough After that table top straight to Murdochville. Bright sunshine warm temps. At Hotel Copper deciding on a plan for tomorrow depending on the storm.

Are there alot of sleds in the motels? Do we really need to reserve? Most places you should not need to reserve, however that said we landed in Matane last Wednesday night and the town was full. The rural places like MSP or Murdochville you should be safe. Always good to call ahead on the weekends because of hockey tournaments.
