Gonna be in Qc Sunday to week from Monday............not sure where but somewhere. Great conditions now, but they are saying +8C and rain here for monday, so I will prob head home then. Colder weather to follow for the rest of the week so it shouldn't do much damage to the trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgallis Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Is that Mikerider back on an Arctic Cat? It sure looks like it to me. What happened to the TNT? Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 TNT is fine. Its a tough choice, the Cat rides so nice in the bumps and the TNT runs and handles so nice. When I stop at camp to get a sled on the way to Quebec, I never know which I want to bring. Its a last second of splitting hairs and loading one into the truck. This week I chose the Cat, and of course there wasn t a bump on the trails all day yesterday, and I wish I had had the SkiDoo. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi Bill I just wanted to let you know that we got home safe and sound. It was great to see you again as well as the rest of the gang. Trip went great with some minor issues as I had a very close call west of Hebertville when a guy backed a F250 across the trail at an unmarked crossing. I managed to get stopped about 3 feet before the truck. One second earlier and it would have been the big groomed trail in the sky for Andyman. I ended up with 2145 miles for the trip and other than this incident and a minor mechanical it went great. Andy Tell Rob more Police!!!!

rob Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 and this final pic deserves an explanation... We come upon a car on the trail, front wheels slowly turning while stuck. Turns out not only did the young couple drive onto the trail and get stuck, but then proceeded to somehow lock themselves out of the vehicle, while it was in gear and front wheels slowly spinning as the engine idled!!! It was quite a sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left at 11`00 and did 150 miles down 83 and Labaie area. Trails were like white velvet, very smooth. But temps were very warm all afternoon, felt like summer. Bill stayed and did sled maintenence.

Saguenay Bill Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 This evening while we were having supper the President of the Saguenay Snowmobile Club asked me to join them in there business meeting after supper. I did go to the meeting at about 8:30PM. I felt very welcome and honored to be asked several questions about why I ride in this region, how many US people come up here and why I stay at the HI. I told them this site and the Internet was a very powerful tool and that they should have a web site. They explained to me that they were working on one now. Here a few pictures of these dedicated folks. Words can not explain how much work goes into having a club and trails like they have here. Some of these folks I've know for 25 years and others for 10+. I really felt so welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
