-16c snow is over for now. The cleanup is underway it’s gonna be a long long week for me. Calling for 15-20cm more Wednesday. Great we get to start all over. And have not done any of the business parking snow yet. Oh boy. Many hours ahead.

probably 8” from this last storm. 

Back to the big rig for another night. Until next time people.

Hopefully it stays all snow.  I will be rolling into Drakkar around 9am tomorrow.  Some of my group will be there later today.  If you are around this weekend Don and are free to ride let me know.

Remember when you were 12?  Seems like just yesterday.

Staying up all night (and growing facial hair) was nuthin!

I don't see any trails on the FCMQ map.  Is this all off trail or is there a rtoad that you can ride.  Any gas there?  looks like a cool place.

It's a private trail

Have a good trip Chris ! We left for you a little Coureur Des Bois but Reggie is saving most of it for our return on Feb 1.

Last year we took the Bras Louis North from TQ 93, made a right at the "T", then came to what I guess is the trail head to Zec Onatchiway.  We didn't take it as it was late in the day.  I'm going to be up the in February, I think it said ??30 KM from the trail head.  My questions would be;'

1. Is there food there?

2. Is the gas there?

3. How far form the intersection of the FCMQ trail is 30 KM correct, I doesn't rememebr exactly?

 

Thanks!!
