Groomer, thank you very much! We are in New Richmond and headed for your trail today. What an awesome time to be in the Gaspe, when you can hit the trail conditions near perfect, the weather near perfect and long sunny days the Gaspe trip really delivers an experience. We just turned 1100 miles since leaving lac Etchemin last thursday and are hitting every trail out here. Here are some familiar but fresh pics of this natural beauty! We have not seen Iceman yet but thank Scorp for posting last week on the excellent conditions

Happy trails RR

Groomer, yes we did have a big traffic jam, but they eventually decided to move on lol. We hit your trail this morning, we were first tracks on it, you did not disappoint, perfect as usual! Best regards RR

great thx for your appreciation...nice way to say welcome !!!

you probably noticed extra snow in middle of the trail almost on top of first hill west of st fidele cb...

i was so asleep , i realized i had a piece of alder about 4-5 ' long stuck under the drag ...part of that piece of wood was pushing snow outside the drag..toward middle of trail...

went backward a few feet to unhook piece of wood and then bulldozed it off the trail !!!

-8c tonight !!!

Bacon Pizza Time Professor! Which day do you think would be best to enjoy lunch or dinner with you in Causapscal? We're planning and plotting. We can make it to you either Tuesday or Wednesday. You're choice!

OK cool! Tomorrow/Tuesday it is!We're going to play around between Carlton and the 587 and maybe some of the locals if time allows. But we noted that our favorite place across from Motel du Vallon closes @ 7:00, so we better plan to get in by 5:00 to get hosed off and get together @ 6:00. Or... "Plan B" (B is for bacon of course), if there's a place you prefer toward Amqui?

How was it landing that space ship with no suspension?!
