I must agree with Crazy Snow.

When ever I am having a tought day at work (most days), I turn to Quebec Rider and look at your photos, They have helped me get through some of the B. S. you need to deal with at work.

Please keep on taking them and I will keep on enjoying them

hi schooter !!

merci !! taking pics ,it s a great way to relax !!i do the same ,time to time i look at the pics of some of my friends !!

when bow hunting (moose) will begin at the end of the month ,hope to be lucky to see mooses ,as close as possible and take tons of pics.i ll be alone at the camp 95% of the time and it s great time to enjoy photography .wake up early to take pics and try to the same at night .

yesterday ,i bought an extra memory card in rimouski ,just in case i could take way too many late sept and october .

btw ,went to the z e c office about an hr ago.they had 2 pics of an albinose moose.the girl there did nt want to tell where it was on the z e c ......because she knows that i know waaaay too many roads and trails on the z e c......just too bad!!

all pics on tq 5 ,except first one ,few hundred feet from the ''stump '' on the way up to the lake .

yesterday morning we went in the gaspesie park to climb mount richardson .awesome !!!! 5.8 km hike to go up there.about 3 hrs 15 m to climb.

just before arriving on top ,about half an hr ,saw a black bear close to half a mile away.

mountain with the yellow/brown/red stuff ,it s the plateau of mount albert.just on the left ,you can see the ''bowl''.we 've been there 2 years ago ,snowshoeing.

for those who use trail 595 often,you should be able to recognize the scenery !!

mountain with a little shack on top,mount jacques-cartier.

on the way back ,i was looking at mount albert,with the sun shinning on the ''bowl '' ,just on top of the patroller's wall,right side of the bowl,i tought it was snow there because it was wet.so i guess there was still snow there not too long ago.

so,big thank you smclelan for the great week end !! im not shy to say that beer/wine/ha!!ha!!/riding and hiking has been AWESOME !!!

thanks again !!

ps : when you left ,i noticed that you slowed down a lot when you passed by my sister !!!!haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

on the second pic ,at the lowest point of the trail,turn left a bit and the bear was just over the tree line .kind of a grey spot.

Who is the Thug with you??? LOL

that thug was hitchhiking on the truck logging road on my way up to the park .so ,i gave him a chance, i stopped and gave him a ride!!where he was ,i knew there was a lot of black bears.i would nt be cheap and let him alone on the truck logging road....just in case!! asked him if he would like to come climbing mount richardson in the gaspesie park with me.he said yes right away !!!haaaaaaaaa!!!

seriously ,you missed something awesome!!we talked about that,it was our 4th one in the park and by far the one with the best scenery !!just woooow!!awesome 360' view !!

to situate you,on the map ,serpentine shelter is right in the middle of the ''bowl '' of mount albert !!

if one day you would like to come with us ,don t be shy to ask.plenty of room at the camp.you bring your own beer and wine and we'll take care of it !!! :lol::lol::p:p

pics from december 06,same day i went riding with my truck on trail 595 .i was on the duniere reserve looking for mooses and found that bird.

i wish i could know what happened to that bird.looks like he just crashed there.no tracks of coyotes or something else.looks like he moved his head up and down and maybe his legs too!!

back in town for a few hrs.awesome weather for me,but bad weather for hunters.waaaayy too warm.20 c right now.best 4 days in a row since last may.

saw mom + calf saturday at 6 37 am.way too far.at 8 15 am,the bull on the pic.he was already in 5th gear when i saw him.hurried up to call to break him.he stopped ,but at the wrong place ,between branches.

at least 2 mooses 800' from the camp this morning and a black bear let me a gift on the road half a mile from the camp .

my nephew told me ,that an atypical moose(antlers) has been shot on park matane ,like the video i posted last year.only 13 mooses down on the z e c ,not much,first week end usually is around 35-40.
