smclelan Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Up with a friend to the Gaspésie Park last weekend to snowshoe up Mount Olivine. Still all kinds of snow everywhere. Stopped to visit the Ambassador of the Gaspésie on the way by we had to peel him off the couch with a puddy knife! LOL A couple pictures taken from the top of Olivine. hparaptor, groomer and Florida Snowman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
