Hi JG

We are at La Coulee Douce. We took a ride to the club house yesterday to see how the trail conditions were. There was one track the 15 miles to get there. Lots of powder. When we returned we could see you had been through. Many thanks.

Hi JG,

We are talking with some people that said there are huge drifts from the bridge coming north. Mother Nature left a mess for you. It took them 6 hours from Carlton.

bonsoir gt rider !!!

i guess so ...glad ,yesterday , i pushed extra snow on both sides of the trail at that big clearcut before the  hill with antler!!!

on the other post ...the garage at the '' school bus ''....almost sank and stalled the machine right at the height of the garage....and just a bit up the trail along the field ...there was 3-4 ' of drifted snow for half a mile there !!!

on my way to bed soon !!!

Wow you must have been on top of a windmill!

tbk steven !!!

 

i knew you would come with the right answer !!!...but the don t worry , in nova scotia you can t afford that kind of windmills !!!....hahahaha😜

great run , but ended in a fish tail....went to groom the exit for the esso gas station...behind church ...tons of snow and a few very sharp corners...180'

so , with all that snow too much pressure on the drag ....so , unhooked...

too asleep , i did nt pay much attention  when i unhooked the hydraulic hoses...too tired to think ...let the drag there...and go to bed....arrived home at  5 45 am

no grip on the hoses...i said a few strange words...

drag about 4 miles from the gas station ...but 1.5 if i use the streets
