Rode from Sept ilse to Havre St Pierre today. Bright sunny day. ... very good grooming conditions for part of the way....most of trail is groomed about one to one and a half width  wide....some water bars and some corners are off camber...rider beware.....102 miles between and gassed up at garage Poulin. Worried about making it but got 14.5 mpg and was happy with that....crossed 10 bridges on the road so wheels a must have for this trek....scratchers a must have on this trip as well because the snow is real grippy and crusty......very tight corners with some u turns...... crossed about 6 rivers ...solid and no open water despite above freezing temps.... Lots of panoramic views and stark scenery makes for some great picture spots. Stunning views of water and some mini icebergs floating by..Honestly if there was a place for a UFO to land it would be there.....

Heading to baie Johann betz today.going to the end of the groomed trail. Hope there is a sign there....

Trail was groomed to a "T" 9.5 out of 10. Only reason it wasn't a ten was because it hadnt been packed down by sleds. Judging by how many sleds we saw today it won't happen any time soon!

Some really great  stretches to let the little Kitty stretch her legs!  Lol

Curious to know if there is a sign at the end that says "The end"

I'm no rocket scientist, but would you need a sign telling you end of groomed trail? Would think it would be obvious. But then again these days you need a sign for everthing! LOL!

Rode from Port Cartier  to Godbout on Friday.  Stayed at the Q'artier Thursday night. Great place people were very Nice . Trails were a mixed bag because of the snow and high wind . Storm Quinn I think .

Wonderfull wide open stretches ruined by drifts , Flat light ,poor visibility and high wind!  Just goes to show that the region can be very tempermental  weather wise. Sun came out later in the day and Godbout area did not receive any snow so it as awesome down there. 

Loadedd the trailer and headed for home . 700 miles total and both Thundercat and Turbo ran well.
