How did I miss these??? I love them all! I hope you have a good winch on that Quad if you need it! If we don't get snow soon, I will bring my quad and you can take me to find the moose!

hi linda !!

even if you send me a winch for free,ha!!ha!!ha!! ,i ll ship it back to you !!no thanks !!

i can be the worse guy to ride with.having a winch on my atv ,i ll go '''deeper '' into troubles.non merci !!!i m not afraid to go in strange places alone and nobody know where i am in the woods.

let say ,i ve been very lucky for all the many thousand mine i rode in the woods alone .

Looks like some great ATV riding!

hi sled dog !!

ya ,great riding !! i try to stay on small roads or trails as much as possible.don t like much using large roads(boring).there s enough around here ,don t need to use the same one twice and i hate to double back.

can do great loop !!just too bad we can t ride on the duniere reserve ,could do a 200/250 miles ride easily without using the same roads.

pics: from lac saumon(7 miles west from town) last week ,there was probably a 1000+ bunched all together.just too bad,they were a bit too far.

HA! I saw your comment before your revision! lol

Ha Ha! Yeah, I wrote I'd buy a book about Groomers adventures and then realized I was a page behind and the post didn't really make sense! And then it wouldn't let me delete it!!

On another note, bought my preseason permit today!!! Hopefully a trip to Groomer country will be in the cards for me this winter!!

I hope to be there for the Gathering!

here s the same moose a few seconds before !!

almost lost my best friend today !!!

after a few days in the house decided to take a 4 w ride.last friday night, a camp burned to the ground on the road to go to the lake.about 20 mins outside town.decided to go there just to see.while preparing myself to put my clothes on,thought about that.should bring my chainsaw and go to my camp about 15 mins away and do extra firewoods for next year .

ready to go,stopped at that burnt camp ,then wide open for my camp.i put my firewoods in a ''land's end (sp maybe ??)decided to cut black spruce,closer to the camp.so ,where i put my firewoods about a quarter mile to the camp,there s many.began to check to have not too big ones !!

stopped my 4w,took my chinsaw .my bag for my camera looks like a back pack.usually ,i always put my bag on the carrier or on the pegs of the 4w.because i was close to the trees ,put the bag right behind of one of the rear wheels just in case something could happen!!

took my chainsaw ,started to walk about 50 ' between the trees.checked the trees ,took a quick look and returned to my 4 w.started it and went backward !!

felt something strange while going backward.turned my head to look forward ?%?%% )(**&& $?& !!!don t need to tell you the first word that came to mind !!luckily ,bag fell between the 2 rear wheels and backed up straight !!

i had forgotten my back pack with my camera and big lense ,behind the rear wheel !!!i was feeling bad !!took a quick look at the camera and lense ,looks fine !!

i hope i learned something from that experience !!

Oh boy!! That is so lucky Jean-Guy!! Wouldn't you have been upset to loose the camera and the lense!! Good that you decided to go straight and not turn.

As well, I love this picture of the moose. I returned to work today so that is why I am so long to message you.

i ve been very-very-very lucky !!probably the new tires on the 4 w helped a bit to give me a bit more clearance .a little scratch on the bag and thats it.....for now !!

old 35 mm pic taken in 87 if i remember well.won a photo contest organized by the z e c back in 92 with that pic.

ya ,i could say that!! i had won 5 or 6 prizes or categories out of 10/12 .can t remember exactly.they gave me nice frames of the pics i had won the categories with.

.....bad luck happened to me about 10 years ago ,so i don t hang my frames on the wall now.i have been discouraged for a while and during that same period ,while grooming ,my 35 mm camera fell down on the floor of the machine .broke the camera !!great winter !!

Well we are just going to have to find something to get the 'sparkle' back!! Maybe you need to do something different...like a new subject! I will see if I can come up with some ideas!

Hope you know you make my day 'sparkle' with your great photos!

Jean-Guy,

I found an idea...what if you were to do some pictures of snowmobiles! That is something the guys mike like in the forum here. Not sure, but something perhaps like this....

Myself I am not much for Polaris, and you would have to ask the girl to maybe get off for a few mintutes so you could get some good shots of the sled...but you know, it might just work to get some 'sparkle' in your life!

Your friend,

Linda
