Grass not so green yet in MTL, still a little nippy for daffadils or tulips too. If your daffodils have popped up i'd love to see them.

I see my carbide tracks in the last 2 pictures of this post.March 22 12 there was a bit more snow.( not much though) LOL!!

We ran into this road as well as a few others that had been plowed that day.

At the end of the dirt road it meets a sand sealed road.I missed where the trail went down over a field to the right.

At the end of the dirt road it "looked like" the trail went right across and continued down along the left side of the road. I launched up and over the snow bank into 4 feet of unpacked quicksand snow. 30 min later we got dug out and found the trail again.

Should have had our 4 wheelers I guess LOL.

We will be back to this gorgeous area next year when the snow returns and the trail signs are still up LOL!!!

Thanks for the helpful posts about the area.Too bad the Sledding season was cut short by the early warm weather.

AWESOME PIC!!!

awesome pic for sure stan !!!

here s another one from last night !!

i was at the 14 miles on the t l r !!

first part of the road on top of the hill ,the 16 miles.....just 2'' higher..the little white spot turning to the right..the 19 miles...i turn at the 18 to go to my camp.from the 16 miles,my camp is about 5 miles in straight line to the left of the road.

on top left....at the 28 miles ..on both side of the road ,it s the duniere reserve .faribault camp ,right in front!!trail 595 !!

at the 28 ,if you turn right all the way across the pic and a bit south (of the pic )...you can go to nouvelle and escuminac !!

those of you who rode that local trail from carleton up to la cache,that last clearcut on top right,trail should be within 15 miles i guess further on the right!!

mount albert ,gaspesie park ,right in front.let say road for la cache is at the bottom of mount albert from left to right!!

Be patient Jean-Guy, just a little more time and you'll be at the camp on your 4 wheeler, sipping a glass and recapturing memories.

Keep the pictures coming, it keeps up our spirits.
