timbo Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 looks like the 2nd is shaping up to be the date. sorry that we can't "please" everyone with the time-frame, but last minute craziness like this conclave of sno-mo-nuts did not afford much advance notice for scheduling. We're looking at Amqui, in all probability, cuz I am fairly certain that most of the attendees would appreciate operating a/c, and other accouterments, etc.. Those that might wish to do a little off-roading, atv'ing, dirt-biking, etc., could schedule that for one of the afternoons that we would be in town (including a mountain-high sleepover for those inclined). I well know that a lot of the attendees would liefer sit around drinking beer, telling lies about past shared sno-mo exploits, off trail excursions, and thoughts about adventures to come this winter. Any way, it's all good. Will post as soon as able on the site selection. It looks like the weekend of the Aug 2nd will be the timeframe. Sorry we can't accomodate everyone on the dates. Last minute events are difficult to please all. timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 The Select will be a great spot for a Gathering! Pool, hot tub, great bar inside and patio. The weekend of the Gathering is also the kite/hang glider festival at Mont Saint Petrie. They launch off at the look-out over town, you can also pay and ride tandem down with a pilot. An option for those not riding with JG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I've gotten a set of top secret carborundum/graphite slide rails. I'm thinking of bringing my 2014 600 Indy sp along to the gathering and will ride with the ATV's for a few hours. Distributor maintains I can ride in sand/snirt/gravel for 100 miles, if bearings in idler/road wheels don't fail. I've fabricated an ice/pack umbrella to lay atop the cylinder heads that will be good for about 55-60 minutes in 90 degrees F ambient temp. I'll need a little help from you ATV guys to haul a cooler with a little extra ice, if we will lurk around in the bush for more than a few hours. C U Taterheads in a few days.

timbo Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Gaspesie is just (almost :-) ) as beautiful in summer as it is during the time of snow and Ice. A jumbo good time for all who made the trip to Amlqui. Great pics, as always, JG. First time I ever was eating wings along the lake, and saw an eagle and a blue heron within 3 minutes. Thanks for the good times in the Coulee Vert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
