I really like that inside gas pump...and I see that the only thing that has changed for our old groomer is that he now has more time to adjust his camera...these are amazing pictures, I am glad to see you are enjoying yourself with friends riding the trail. Bob.

good morning jackstraw and quebec bob !!!

 

police....hahhaha...we stopped about 30'' , time to check if everyone was following and 2-3 pics !!!...then go...aahhah

yaaa...funny the gas pump....

i wish we could have stopped more often for pics....great area for that ....but too many riders......don t want to break the '' mood ''....by stopping too often 

somewhere on z e c du bas st laurent ....i was leading and a coyote 150' in front of me....he was already in 5 th gear ....ran for a few hundred feet and jumper of the trail..

 

yesterday rode mostly off the trail ....went to my camp ...very windy ....but lots of fun !!!

my ontario friends leaving this morning for the north side of gaspesie !!!

 

grey sky .....-11c

 Still taking nice pics without the groomer!

A-holes are everywhere....seems like every time you turn around there's one.

Whats the name of that auberge in the 2nd to last photo. Looks like the place we ate at after getting caught in a downpour years ago. They where awesome there and put all our gear in the dryers while we ate lunch.  Downside we ate in our underwear, luckily only ones there!

Hi Zeusand! 
 

Had an awesome time at camp! It’s funny how we work hard to have more but then age and discover what we truly want is less. 
 

As one of the few that’s has had the opportunity to visit and stay at Auberge Halle, I can say with all my heart it’s one of my favourite places to unwind. No tv, technology or phone line. Wood heat and water from the brook. 
 

I think there are a few people that will understand what it is I speak of. 
 

Jean-Guy and I would love to figure out how to employ him as the Guide And Photographer of the Gaspesie.... thinking....

Glad to hear that you spent time with jean-guy , and that you had the time to unwind and get away from stress of life. If JG could find an opportunity like that it would be his calling... for sure as he really enjoys it and is good at it! Glad to see you posting , it's been a while!
