lol Gotta be careful of what you say on the World Wide Web!!!!! Could be quite a blow out at the Camp!! Mucho people!!

Many lurk here and occasionally post ( me for example).

Great country and I even recognize some areas without snow on them.

JG does a great job keeping us up to date during winter monthes and his pics are always a treat to look at all year long. I especially like when he throws a few teazers ( snow pics) in during the Summer.

I had no idea this site even existed till last year when I was looking for some trail info.

Will be back through this year once the snow comes . Last year we ran out of snow too early with that freak thaw. Will try it earlier this year .

Keep the pics and info coming JG and everyone else.

hi all !!

don t want it to be the ''woodstock '' of the gaspesie !!there will be a traffic jam at the camp !!.hhahaha!!

thx ext ,always a pleasure to post a few !!

j-g...there s a shorter way to go to camp...using the ''dirty '' trail on the other side of the brook at the camp...if you remember where we started riding off the trail....camp is about 4 miles from there....did nt use it ,narrower at a few places and there was a few branches !!

no problem for wine....talking about wine,somebody gave me a bottle,looks like it was a cheap one just by the taste.drank it last night...woke up on the wrong foot this morning !!hahhaa!!

well,just back from my camp...looks like the weather affected me...windy like hell,cloudy ,ice on the road,decided to bring my 4w back in town..was there since may

so,maybe 1 or 2 more at the camp with my 4w and it ll be it for this year i guess.

if i can have a nice day ,i go to the st fidele cb next week !!

Hi Jean-Guy!

Thanks for the great pictures!! Looks like the 'Calm before the storm' to me!! That time of year when the sky looks gloomy, the water gets thick and the roads look like they are waiting for snow!

I must say, was a little nervous while I was looking...thinking you were going to have your 4 Wheeler on top of a log pile. I know when I was there last you were considering it! Stay off the logs!! I need you on the TQ5!

I remember that club being open in the late 1990's, not many times after that. It was always too close to where I started in Pointe a la Croix to stop, and too close to the end of the trip to stop.

You are a ways from home there JG, must be 45 miles or close to it.

The pine trees were cut last winter, that is why they had the detour going up through l' Arverne

i had forgotten about that detour from last year!!!

well, i guess the groomer operator will see extra drifts...some places clearcuts are more than a quarter mile long.

and there s clearcuts on both side of the roads !!

-5c this morning !!

I see 'stuck here'! That is not where you were stuck!

I like all your maps...but I am still lost lol. I see "linda's moose' and "camp lunch' helps me to see where we were etc.

Great pictures! Thanks for testing the phone booth! Clear as a bell!!

And PS...that 'trail out house' I ordered!! It was cold out there last year!!

Haha Cheers!
