Years ago in a cold winter I got to drive out to the rock on my sled...that doesn't happen much anymore, I was surrounded by old Indy's all now antiques...I will try to find that picture for posting.

i just made a little search , i thought it was year , 90-91 or  92...looks like 95 ....from a member here....

don t think im wrong ....remember seeing pics with old polaris next to the hole....early 90's...i could be off the trail too ...

Hi Jean-Guy,

We past through your neighborhood today. 
Stopped at the clubhouse planning on having lunch but it was closed. I checked the website this morning said it was open.

Luckily we were able to eat lunch at the gas station.

Beautiful run down the 587S to PLC.

Saw a lot of moose tracks but no actual moose. Later afternoon and there was not any sled tracks  on the southern portion of the 587. 
 

We had a great 3 day ride in the Gaspe. Crossing back into NB tomorrow morning for a couple days riding before heading home.
