GT Rider Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 We took a stroll down by the water. A nice cool breeze. It looks a lot more busy in the summer.

GT Rider Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 By gps going west it was 62 miles for gas. Then 97 miles to the shell station by The CI. There is a depaneur across from the gas. Gemma says to let the women know it's the only pit stop. iceman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rider Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 So we leave a bit late to day. It's a blue sky and temps are warm. By the time we cross the Moisie it was grey and a lot cooler. Going west gave the trail a different perspective. mikerider, PLAYHARD, nyskidooerinnewhampshire and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 We passed a group of 3 that was heading east. Yesterday we passed one sled going west. Not a whole lot of traffic over here. nyskidooerinnewhampshire, PLAYHARD and iceman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff It seemed like a lot of snow melted in one day at the crossings. We saw a guy chopping away at the ice covering the bridge drains on one bridge going east. Well there was no more ice the next day. I guess when it starts melting it's gone pretty quick. 4 of the crossings are within 22 miles of HSP. Wheels down wheels up. Starts getting old quick. Bill has a wheel setup that goes up and down with the press of a button. I'm learning Bill. Edited March 8, 2018 by GT Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rider Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 A few of the washouts. You could see that water was cutting the trail. Teamgreen mentioned it in their report. On the two up its track to the tunnel. iceman and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikerider Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I almost went next door to the gas station to buy a Quebec map just so I could figure out where you are.

GT Rider Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Last day. We have to catch the ferry at Baie-Comeau. We get going at 7. It's in the high 20's light snow. No water running in the streets at the crossings this am. Trails out of Sept-Iles are in great shape. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 We reach club Harfang Du Nord. Team Ice was here. The trail is a bit bumpy going west.

GT Rider Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 We continue west toward Godbout. Trails still a bit bumpy but not we're not complaining. iceman and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 West of Godbout it's all good. Time for the roller coaster ride. I set up the GoPro. It's not easy taking pictures here. PLAYHARD and iceman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 We arrive at Baie-Comeau early for the ferry. We stop at a restaurant near the ski slope to kill some time. We ride around taking some photos at the coast. Then down to the ferry. iceman, Scranton1, nyskidooerinnewhampshire and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 We get on the ferry and meet with Je me Souviens and his friend. We have some snowmobile talk. Later at Matane we meet for dinner. So nice to run into fellow Quebec Riders. Thanks for the company and conversation. Well that's it for 2018. Happy trails to those of you out riding.
