And I know, I was just playing with you...had to come up with some kind of reason you were so much better than the rest of us at not getting stuck. And after being stuck on the mountain and getting rescued by the 'kid' Simon....I know its all skill and really makes little difference what you sled you have. One guy blew past us on a 550 fan, the other kid on an older model firecat! Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 There's not enough words that can be said for the amount of effort you have put into your work on your trail system and all those photos posted on the net for everyone to view, you truly are an ambassador to the sport. It was nice to have met you Jean-Guy and to have that opportuntity to visit your cabin, my last visit to the Gaspe i was invited to a cabin for a few days with some guys out of Amqui, the cabin was somewhere between Amqui and Kedgewick,NB in that area. What i remember the most was eating so much moose when i was there, moose steak, moose sausage you name it, it was all good. My parents are from the maritimes and they do get some moose from time to time from family but it never tasted as good as was the prepared moose i ate in the Gaspe. Mmmm Mmmm. My next visit i'll trade you some partridge for some moose, how about it? Too bad about the weather this year, i was looking forward to a year ender in the Gaspe and introducing you to some friends from home. Thanks again for everything JG and have a nice summer. We will cross pathes again Ciou JG P.S. The winner of Cains Quest....his name is Jean-Guy. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
