lindasledgirl Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hi Jean-guy I love this group of pictures...I know that stump too! I have many pictures from my first 'Gaspesian Photography' course of that one! I see the rabbit is still hanging around? Nothing like treats to keep the kids at the camp lol Love the colours in the ones before the moose, they are different and I really like them. Hope the rain stops so you can get back to camp!

Trailblazer Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Any sno pics yet? I believe he said he was going back to the camp for a few more days, and he's out of work so don't expect him back any time soon. Thanksgiving week end this week end.

lindasledgirl Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Jean-Guy will be back on Friday to pick up more supplies and check his 'mail' lol before he goes up again for Thanksgiving. He took up some wood as he is preparing for "Spring Break". I feel bad that I can't help this year but my son is getting married on the 19th, I must behave lol. He is up there trying out a new ride...but I won't say a word lol. Pictures will be good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Why do I like this place so much...well it seems my mothers' heritage is from the Gaspe! This explains a lot to me! I guess its why I just love it there. I didn't know till my 3rd trip there! This winter I hope to get to the rock and see if I can find some more info. My mom on her first skidoo 12.

Can't wait to see your pictures from this weekend! L Hi Linda,, I just assumed the pics were JG's new ride,, Then your pic beside the machine??? ,,Okay, you got really confused now ,,,which does not take much anymore,LOL. Wife and I are still on ATV's here ( w/ EPS , which is the only way to go to be super comfortable in the rough/rocky stuff,,,IMO,, just no handlebar 'kick back' .. ) but a SxS is a good possibilty for her in the near future??? Not for me just yet, staying on my ATV,,,, but she is kinda thinking 'driving' more like a car, bucket seats, more protection from the elements and etc,, might just be a very good fun factor too,, Dealers selling a zillion SxS's here in our state,, You need to get over to the Gaspe, right after your son's wedding,,get a few klicks on that machine,before the snow piles up,, ,Groomer will be a happy,happy camper. fuzzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 How many miles per gallon on the brp ? Or Km per tank? And how many litres in a tank Those BRP 4stroke sleds and Outlander atvs have excellent gas mileage, I have no doubt the Commander Side by Side does the sme but would be nice to have a hands on report.
