P Hardy Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Hi Jean Guy, Awesome to see some current grooming pics! I see on the Moose Valley Facebook page that there is a new trail from New Brunswick to QC. Their quote after google translate is "A new path to the ascension-de-Patapédia will be in operation in the next week. A front door in gaspésie & Campbellton." Do you know anything about this? It would be great to have access to QC closer to Campbellton. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Hardy Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the reply! Hopefully you'll hear a little more in the next little bit, this could be a great shortcut to get to your area from Campbellton. Some nice to see new trail getting added and not taken away! Now we just need a new trail from Amqui to LaCache.... Thanks! Edited December 26, 2019 by P Hardy spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we just need a new trail from Amqui to LaCache.... Thanks! bienvenue !!! i started grooming in 00....so , i guess must be 99...maybe 98 .....there was a trail from my town up to the faribault , using the z e c and duniere reserve territory ....it was 65 miles to go there.. 24 hrs run ....and 500.00$$ of fuel .....and needed a fuel tank at 41 miles on logging for extra fuel ...i was supposed to groom that trail instead of tq 5 ....but too expensive.. that same trail today ...i quit grooming and spend the winter at my camp....trail was passing 3 miles from my camp...im the one who told the club back then which roads to use so ,spending winter at my camp , i could sell coffee 50 c....chocolate 1.25 $...beer 3.00 $$$ and grosse poutine extra fromage 7.95 $$$....aahahha🙂 jean-guy nyskidooerinnewhampshire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Hardy Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 I never realized that there was once a trail there, I didn't start sledding up there until the mid 2000's. That certainly would be a long haul in a groomer! It's hard to get operators here for a few hours, I can't imagine getting people pinned down for 24. Are there roads to take you from the end of the trail at Lac de Huit Milles over to the local trail that goes from Carleton to La Cache? I've been through that trail a couple times and it's nice country, I'd like to do a little off trail riding in that area someday. Also, If you ever do quit grooming, you'll be busy at your camp with those prices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 When I started sledding the Gaspesie I had Gaspesie trail maps that showed the snowmobile trail Jean Guy is talking about to Faribault. There is a logging road that goes from La Cache straight to Groomers town, however it is partially or completely plowed most winters. That would make an trail!!!
