groomer Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Wow. That is some history for you with that land! It's in your blood now. oh ya , lots of history !! back in the old days...dad was parking car 2 miles from camp....then he had to walk about a quarter mile on the other side of brook to reach for jeep...he was letting jeep next to road... so ,he had to cross brook back with jeep ,put stuff in and go to camp !!the jeep was spending the whole summer and autumn there...just like i do do with my 4w. there was not much room in the jeep....land rover..a short one....so ,we had to walk ....hhaha... i remember ,i was maybe 5-6-7 y/o ...the spare tire was on the hood of jeep..my dad was sitting me right in the rim ...it was a very slow trail .....going 5 mph max...... i ve seen tons of trails there helping dad ... back then my dad had a cabin at the lake ,so we were nt using much camp...only for moose hunting...there was no z e c back then..it was a private club !!! great memories !! jean-guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groomer Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Memories you will never forget Sound like a great way to grow up hi schooter !!! sure !! learned a lots of thing being at camp!! back then ,there was no clear cuts...only the road,the width of a jeep for 2 miles. and lots of trails.. friends of my dad were living outside town ,so we had to help dad preparing moose hunting !! this is where i learned to walk with a compass....not for long ...1x i went to walk between trees..it was supposed to be a 20-30 mins walk ...took 3.5 hrs to get out of there..never touched a compass again...hahhahaha !! that trail you see below brook was a trail for lumberjacks and horses back in the old days....about 2.5 miles from camp..there was an old wagon with spokes in wood...when i was young i used to walk that trail ..about 3 miles long.. there was a dam 7-8 miles higher on the brook to float woods early spring...thats why there s a lot of room on the side of brook...they were cutting trees near by and during spring time , go for brook then causapscal river !!still remember when they were floating wood behind house... jean-guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schooter Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Jean-guy, When I was young, We were able to play in the orchards 1 - 2 miles away from my house would leave in the morning and would not come back till dark. Not something I would let my kids growing up do. Even though I live on the other side of where the orchards WERE, it's all homes now. In the tiered orchards is where we would also ride snowmobile, Since they were on the hillside ther were alot of banked corners. Many happy hours there. Now, It is getting very difficult to ride from home. Schooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
