rain-snow and even thunder last night !!

back to grass !!

heavy rain this morning !!

+5c..right now !!

went to grocery and learned from a friend ...forestry tech, that the area of my camp will be a protected one...

it means that no more tree harvesting ,no more clearcuts !!

pics from a friend flying over town !!

No more tree cutting also means no more good browse areas for the moose to feed around the camp!!

Your camp was safe from tree cutting being right on the brook. Good thing they replaced the bridge when they did, it likely would not get fixed in a protected area.

hi phil and smclelan !!

yaaa...less lunch for mooses...but they ll still come ...not afraid of that !!

its just to my friends to prepare their futur with mooses hunting !!...they are too shy to use a thinning saw or chainsaw!!i did more than my share with that !!

we have only the road to see them !!

forgot to mention...from my camp to the orange camp...then up to north of lake frenette and south til the road for the 16 miles....there s another place near albertville and about 20 miles south of town.

this will us back in the old days when we had no clearcuts...walking between trees !!

top left...almost at the end...farm is there ..trail for lake and st alexandre

p-2.....first field on the left...white spot (house )...at the bottom...cb is right there over matapedia river

p-3....in the middle ..road for albertville...then almost on top...mill and shortcut for albertville..can see clearly road 132

Hi Jean-Guy!

Great pictures...especially of the moose! I think I know where he is...near where I took pics on the road of the tiny mushrooms?

Hope you are enjoying your spring! I am preparing for the next season...just to get me through to the next time I chase the snow.
