Unfortunately all the rain is in Texas and Louisiana they got it ALL. A years worth in one week.

Not to fear the feet of snow we get this year will make up the difference.

hi shore 1066 !!!

 

absolutely true !!!

few years back, i saw a few in the gaspesie park......can see them mostly on mt albert .... mt jacques -cartier ...mt logan 

one of my nephew saw 13... 3-4 weeks ago on mt  albert !!!...he was supposed to e mail me pics ...

roughly 15 years ago...i was at my camp ...went back in town for grocery and laundry ...on my way back , i saw one about 6 miles before arriving to my camp ...but i guess that one had a gps problem....completely lost i guess...

closest mountain is mt logan ...about 60 miles away ...

almost forgot..can t remember where i saw that ....last winter ,a team from national geographic magazine...they where snowshoeing or cross country skiing ...they went riding '' off the trail '' somewhere around mt albert where there was caribous....they were nt supposed to ride there....

sadly ,population of the caribous is on the way down since many years in the gaspesie park !!!

rode with my tuque last saturday

It's happening guys. The st. Lawrence river has a little steam on it. Earliest I can ever remember. Water wasn't as warm this year either.
