 Thanks for the optimistic response I greatly appreciate it ! Living 14 hours south of you can be concerning  when we are wondering if it's worth making the trip. ☃️

We are headed North no matter the conditions...

587 was nice today for the most part. The orange shortcut trail by Mann Settlement we were first tracks since it was groomed and it froze so hard it was like riding on glare ice. Glad I had good carbides cause it was smooth and you could hook up well!

Good thing they had mountain bars for those conditions...  If there weren't fresh tracks in the mud I would have guessed the sleds were left all winter after being taken by the Gaspie Sasquatch...

well ...don t know what i did to '' snow gods '' lately ...but luck and timing are nt with me !!!

when i left this afternoon ....i had a strange feeling ...

i was going down long hill before st fidele cb .....the corner about half a mile lower than tree stand on right side...i was going down on left side...then suddently a strange noise...went to check the sprocket ...saw nothing ...when i went back inside the cab.....saw the track...one of the hinge was broken ..split in 2 if i can say that.....went back slowly backward to turnaround just below tree stand...

then back slowly toward ste marguerite...i stopped about 1 mile after long hill with antler...on top of the other one to make a phone call...when i started grooming again..made about 200' .....plouk !!!! lost the other hinge !!!

help landed at 11 30 pm...

trail was a disaster...what a shi??y run !!!....just lucky it was nt - 20 c !!!

Glad you didn't have to walk to far in real cold weather Jean -Guy.  It looks like it could be a relatively easy fix compared to some things that can happen to your machine. Looks like the joiner pins came out that clamp the tracks together. They will have you up and going in no time I bet.

Haha...I think there is a picture somewhere of when I tried to give him a hug at the Clubhouse the first time I met him (Jean-guy is able to remember the date) but years ago now....its not easy! I will try again this time, he says I am bossy...so I will try that. 

 

I will pick you up anytime...I think we would have a lot of fun!
