Returned again to ride in Paradise. Could not post yesterday internet was down. Rode on Sunday and report is as follows:

Feb. 10.

Departed the HI today by trail 83 west with blowing snow and decided to detour down trail 383 to stay more in the woods with better visibility. Rode in to the Relais Bouleauniere and had lunch and Beers. Saw the most gorgeous scenery!!!! Continued riding to the village of Ferland-et-Boileau and fueled up here. 50 miles to hear. Kept riding to trail 383 and 83 and rode exactly 14 miles south bearing off to go to the most beautiful log structure Bed and Breakfast for lunch called pourvoiriue du Lac Moreau ( www.lacmoreau.com) Ate a full course wild Rabbit meal and finished with Crème –Boulea. The very best food, beer and atmosphere in the middle of nowhere. Fueled up and returned to the Hi by trail 83 west, 73 miles back with a total day of 198 miles.It was our pleasure today to be joined by Saguenay Bill to show us some local trails we did not explore before.

Feb. 11

Departed the HI by 8:30 and rode half of our guys To Falardeau. Broke trail in a fresh overnight 15 inches with many drifts and come back to the HI to pick up our comrade Will with a rental sled to join our crew. Bill rode with us to Ski BEE Doo by trail 383 and 23 and returned by trail 83. There is so much snow up here it is coming out of our helmets, coat pockets and ears. It sure is great to be in SNOWMOBILE PARADISE!!!!!! TILL TOMMORROW.

A special thanks to Saguenay Bill for his help to hook us up to get our broken sled repaired and where to go!!!!
