S pump Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Bill, It was nice seeing you again, looks like you are getting some miles in.............We, well I should say I, ended up with 980 miles, Bobler and pal made it farther somewhere around 1300. My driveshaft bearing gave out around Lac Edward(sp). Great ride on some new trails this time. You should try that trail from Chapelle to Les Escoumins if you get the chance. Bring a GPS and a map and you'll be fine. Is Rob back up there already? I'm gonna try and get up again soon, till then stay right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great but I don't need a GPS. Look for the signs with the numbers. Get up here again only stay here in Paradise a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSE800 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 North side of Lac-St-Jean is in great shape, plenty of snow. The south shore is thin and icy in areas with ok to good conditions. Here are a few more pic's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan speed shop Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 While we were at Scooby Raid this couple came in for lunch. I met them 8 years ago and see them every winter at least a couple of times. They told me they rode the Gaspe a couple of weeks ago and put on 1600 miles. Hello, thank you for the photo ... We made a safe journey home, 3700klm in 10 days. We hope to see you again soon! Thank you Sylvie and Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowCrazed Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 GTSE800, where's that two-lane trail? You don't see that very often. That's trail 93 on the way to Monts Valin, right? If so, one side is ATV and the other is snowmobile if I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct! we did go through some corners that thy had a burm in the center to keep people on there side of the trail. We broke the group in two today. Here are a few pic's from today. L to r, Bruce, I forgot the guy's name in the middle? (But a hell of a nice guy, and Scot. Lunch at the 31. The future plans for the 31, it will be a great place when it's done.

Saguenay Bill Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 When I came in this afternoon I noticed 2 Poloaris sleds with many different trail passes on them. I immediately said to myself,"Dave is here". Sure enough farmerold and Joanie are here. They left Real Masse on Jan 30 and went to Manitoba and then turned around and came back east. At this point they have 5,000 miles on the trip. I've asked him to please post his trip repor once he gets home so we can all enjoy it. Here is Dave and Joanie.

GTSE800 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hey Bill, made it back to camp around 6:30 today. Had a great time riding with you and all the new people I met. Did Gerry make it back from QC ok with his truck and trailer? I dropped him off there at 12:30 today. Ask him how his brother liked using the heated coat. Also tell Scot, I wish I did try out his Yammi yesterday, they start up real nice when its cold out, it might be my next sled . ps Lot of sleds didn't want to start this morning I think Sandy and Judy did not want the sleds to start today. :D Its was Brrrrr. cold!

Good riding with you. Same here, looking forward to it for sure! And welcome to quebecrider.com I seen the picture that 182ray posted of the sideways Yammie, did that just happen. Your smileing, so that's good. I had asked Gerry (GKW) if they tipped easy when riding on the side of a bank, like the doo zx's did. I guess so ay?

Saguenay Bill Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 farmerold and I ate lunch at Scooby Raid. While we were there 2 of Quebec's finest came in and I asked them to set with us. I am so glad to see these guys out on the trails and appreciate all the hard work they do to make this sport safer for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had asked Gerry (GKW) if they tipped easy when riding on the side of a bank, like the doo zx's did. I guess so ay? Hey Daryl, nice meeting and riding with you. That happened our trip in January. First I've seen the picture also. The banks are fine with the Yammies, but they have a hard time climbing trees. Maybe a Cat would be better. Bruce.

favarcat Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi Bill, did you get the note we left you this morning? I woke up early and could not sleep, so decided to skip the breakfast buffet. Dragged Scott out of bed and got on the road before the snow got too bad. Thanks for everything. Had a great time again, riding with you and meeting new friends. Bruce.
