Jean Guy. What lake is the boat docks on. Is it a parks area for camping and fishing. Looks like a great place to go boating. Is there camps on the lake. Glad you can get to your camp. I bet you sleep better there too. I know I sleep better in our island cabin. Have a good summer.

hi artsled and shore1066 !!!

 

yaa...snow maybe for next week ...if not much rain and sunshine !!!.....where there s a lots of shade...still good patches of snow !!!

the lake is '' lac du nord ''....it s on the z e c...roughly 20 miles from my camp .....almost at the border of park matane....only 1 camp there....looks like a camping area ...but no....only road and docks !!!

small lake....less than 3 miles long i guess...

i went by the docks side ...around the lake to the dam...pic with mini bridge....just below lac des coeurs.....short trail...there s a beaver dam on main road...

sure.....sleep better at the camp ....very quiet ...

brook at the camp still very high ...can t cross yet with my 4w....next weekend should be ok !!! went across last thursday ...but with a load of firewood....water came up to the height of the seat !!!

there are very few places to use them in Mass. I understand that Quebec now allows dual sport motorcycles to use the ATV trails, I have to get there and try it out. It would be a blast to go to Baie Comeau and ride up to Sept ille, those trails and bridges are incredible on sleds and must be just as good for ATVs.

Tens of thousands of warblers flew over Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie and Côte-Nord during the past few hours. The Tadoussac bird observatory even speaks of historical migration. The abundance of budworm budworm has something to do with it.

A text by Michel-Félix Tremblay

"Perhaps one of the largest movements of Neotropical sparrows ever seen in North America," reads the Observatory's Facebook page.

Monday, between 5 am and 4 pm, an estimated 183,000 warblers flew over the area where two observers were stationed at Pointe-à-John and Grandes-Bergeronnes.

Everywhere in the east, citizens report unusual sightings ... and birds found dead after hitting the windows of buildings.

In Matanie, the biologist Hugues Deglaire counted in dozens the number of warblers found dead near the buildings of the city center.
