Saguenay Bill Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Is he stuck in the ice? I am pretty sure it is the Coast Guard cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 That is an awesome pic! This is an awesome spot. In the summer there are picnic tables in the area and a platform that you can see the fjord at. You can see the hydro lines in Tadoussac and there are also lines over my head.

Trailblazer Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I am pretty sure it is the Coast Guard cutter. That would certainly be an experience braving the ice and rescuing vessels stuck in the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 The cutter is there to keep the shipping channel open for the bauxite ships coming into La Baie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Today 182, Ginger and I went to Relais du Lac for lunch and then on to Monts Valain for a coffee and back to the Delta. Trails were 90% good. For those of you who was Ax Men, I want you to know that Shelby Stanga, aka The Swampman, has nothing on us. He gets his logs from the water, we get ours in the snow.

Saguenay Bill Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yesterday was a bummer. 182 ended up having to get a new battery. After trying to jump off 182 mine wouldn't start. After checking every thing but the relays it ended up being one of them. Went to Spence and bought 2, now have a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 The auto mechanics are on strike at all new car dealers here in the Saguenay for the past 35 months. Sticking point, from what I hear is they were working 4-10 hour days and the dealers want them to go back to 5-8 hour days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saguenay Bill Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Went up to Mont Valin today. "Pickle Park trail" had been groomed as well as 93 up to barn whe groomer is parked. When up Bras Louis then over to 93 and had lunch at KM 31. Came back local trail to 93 down to Villeneuve. I had to get the track tightening screw replaced as old one had threads that were rounded and would not stay tight. Good day, nice trails and nice weather.

Saguenay Bill Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Today 182 Ray and Ginger headed back to NJ before the storm hits. I rode with Mr GutZ, no hair, Daniel and Collect. Trails were great. Had coffee at Relais du Lac, lunch at Monts Valian and afternoon coffee at Ski-Bee-Doo. Great day. Yesterday before 182 finished his day he put his magical suspension skills to work as his sled was pushing in the corners and the rear end was braking loose coming out of the corners.

revct1 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi Bill. If any place is going to have snow it is Lac St Jean. Glad to hear the clubs are taking care of you. It has been a late start for most of Quebec. Hi Ray. I'm sure your sled is a 2016. Yours isn't the only 2016 that is pushing more than it should. Sandi, MikeRider and Hart have all said the same thing. It seems like BRP has lightened up the front end this year or allowed it to lift more than in past years. Just an observation.

182ray Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi Jack I'm riding my "old" 2015 the owner of my snowmobile shop hired a general manager & he didn't offer a deal like I was accustomed to so I didn't get a '16 that GM is gone (wonder why LOL) the new GM is the previous parts manager that I know well and is ready to deal I had my shocks done by Ian & was just fine tuning Mikey's under steer is because he's running 4" carbides with a 137" track he's going to have to cut back on the vin rouge and crack open the purse & get at least some 6" carbides & he will see a difference In most conditions my sled was on rails the only time it would push a little was on warmer days and I don't think there much you can do for soft snow except slow down and diamond the corners Hopefully Ginger and I will see you guys this winter and have some ribs I gotta go snow plow now too bad this storm wasn't up north Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
