Trailblazer Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 hi traiblazer !! not sure if it was in 97 or 98 ,but i was there at the méchoui .my brother in law had leased the faribault camp with one of his friend from cross point .do you remember that guy who had fell in the brook with his sled ????ha !!ha !! faribault area was a nice place to ride off the trail.last time i went there,must be in april 98.took a huge risk going there alone .started from the 28 miles on the truck logging road using ''back roads '' only to go there.then landed roughly 10 miles from mount logan.no traffic at all ,it was about time to turn around before being in troubles. i wish i could go back with my 4 wheelers ,but can t even ride on the truck logging road crossing the duniere reserve. groomer !!! Sorry Groomer i don't remember the guy in the brook, i do remember the guy that was running it back then his name was Bertie, during our stay he found us someone that could lead us up to the summit of Mont Login. We reached the summit the next day by sled, the locals said they didn't have much snow that year and it was due to that that we were able to get to the summit, because the last part where you need to climb to the antenas it was quite steep, if there was alot of snow we wouldn't have been able to reach it. I got pics of a cloud floating by pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, nice pics, brings back memories i bet. Back then my pics were in 35mm aswell, i'll try to dig a few up, scan them and post. I love to visit the area with my four wheeler must be really nice in the fall over there. I have a chalet too, it's in the Laurentians and i try to go as often as i can in the fall riding my atv and for just being there, i love the smell of a wood burning stove and the heat it gives off, there's nothing like it, but it's no where as nice as having those mountain caps in the background. I guess the call of the wild is calling out for me that time of year. lol. Off trail riding at Faribault, we did a bit of that with Bertie, he took us to a little town called St.Margerite through some abandoned forest roads, was alot of fun and alot of snow (for us, but for the locals they didn't have much snow that year, ya right the snow was up to my waist when jumping off the sled). We stopped at some little tiny bar, drank some big beers('cause they didn't have any small ones) and went back later that night only to have a few more big beers at Faribault. What is it with you guys and those big beers? Had a great time wanna go back JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groomer Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 few more pics.frames i have at home.just took pics of them.colors are way nicer on the frames. took those pics back in april 89 or 90.last ride of the season.last pic,can t remember exactly,mount mattawee,collins and maybe fortin. about the beer,everything is big here.we don t know much have small format !!! just joking !! the problem now ,since a few years we can t ride with atvs or sleds on the duniere reserve.so ,it does nt interest me much to bring my truck almost all the way to the faribault.duniere reserve stop about 8 miles before arriving to the faribault. groomer !!!

Trailblazer Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Wow, nice pics, brings back memories i bet. Back then my pics were in 35mm aswell, i'll try to dig a few up, scan them and post. As promised i managed to dig a few up, not so sure about the quality. When it comes to those digital photos i am not as good as you Groomer. Here are a few scanned 35mm photos of our time at Faribault and Mt.Logan back in Mar of '98. If you can see, check out the bonfire pile. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
