EXT Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 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.

lindasledgirl Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 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! Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 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.
