hi fuzzy600ho !!

ha !! ha !! ha !! thank you very much !!! often at the beginning of the season or in late march ,early april ,there s always mooses track near the signage.i don t think the ''coin box '' will last all winter,mooses will probably ''bulldoze it '' during the season or me falling asleep while grooming.never happened tho.

i wish i could ride a lot more in the woods.i know tons of roads between home, la cache ,park matane and duniere reserve.i slowed a lot ,i was burning waaaaayy too much gas and too much mileage.i ride around the camp with the 4w now.

talking about moose,last night i was talking with my sister.matapedia river is right behind the house.so, last saturday a guy was fishing salmon and suddently ,moose appeared in the river for a quick spin/swim, then made a u-turn and back in the woods.

well , i did nt know which pics to post ,looks like it s going to be a hot week again,so winter pics won t hurt.just to tease members !!!ha!!ha !!ha !!

mount hog's back ,gaspesie park, back in april with smclelan !!

just for fun!! i work around ste marguerite since 3 weeks.last thursday , i moved just next to that long straight(tq5) just west of ste marguerite.i m roughly 1 mile off tq 5 .

so this morning ,just before arriving to the job(in the last mile ) must climb a hill.i noticed a white spot very far away on the west side.

took my binoculars and i realized it was the wind mills somewhere around st alexis-l' ascension area.i have no idea where they are exactly.even without the binoculars ,can see them.

here to the st alexis bridge (road 132) roughly 30 miles.35 for matapedia.so i guess they are at least 25-30 miles away ,maybe more.there was 4 big cranes and 2 small ones.some had no blades yet .

geography 101 !!!....ha!!ha!!ha!!!

pics taken this morning where i work just west of ste marguerite.you can see the windmills in the area of st alexis/st francois/l ascension .trail 587 is somewhere in there.

on the second pic ,they are in the first 1/3 of the pic from the right.

if you look closely ,you can see the cranes.fog must come from the matapedia river.on top of the mountains ,there s a hydro power lines,on the left side of the windmills .could be the same one crossing road 132 between matapedia and cross point.

pic 4 ,dirt road,tq 5 ,just west of ste marguerite.there s a stop sign about 1 mile from there and you must turn right to go toward truck logging road.

human eye is considered to be 50 mm .the closest you can see the windmills,i zoomed at 300mm.

300mm, and you could see them!

Good eyes, and a great beard!

MrGutZ

ha!!ha!!

sure ,no problems.once you where they are ,you can see them with the naked eyes....unless there s too much warm air and humidity.that s why i took my pics early this morning .light is cleaner.

if you wait too much during the day ,when you ll zoom ,you re going to ''collect'' the warm and humidity and you re going to have sh?????? pics !!!early morning or after supper to have clean light !!

if you look at the pic with the drag , i took the pic from the lowest clearcut.you can see there s a patch of wood in the clearcut ,when i left this afternoon ,i was right on the left side of that patch,almost on top of the clearcut.

ste marguerite is right on the other side of the mountain.i arrive from the other side of the curve.the entrance is right there to go up the mountain .
