Shore1066 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 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.

quebec bob Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 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.

groomer Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 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.
