Not the "two weeks" question: Is it too early for this right now?...

2) Windigo to Mekoos

3) Mekoos-Lac Taureau

4) Lac Taureau-Trois Rivieres

Thanks for the feedback.

Just had to flip direction to clockwise cuz Martine & Dan @ Windigo were booked up this Monday.

Here's our story, plenty of wiggle room for sightseeing (and Murphy), we will see if we're sticking to it:

Sun 1/13 Auberge Drakkar

Mon 1/14 Lac Taureau 370k/230m

Tues 1/15 Mekoos 350k/220m

Wed 1/16  Windigo 415k/260m

Thurs 1/17 Trois Rivieres 350k/220m

Stop & say hey if you see Monker out there. He's the red guy with the smile...

I read that there is a problem with the #63 between rouge-Mattawin and Rivière rouge in the section near La Macaza(north west mont-tremblant park). I'm not sure what is the bug or if it has been solve but search for it before going. It's Franc nord snowmobile club that groom this section, maybe them can answer.

Have a good safe ride!

Maybe there is a mix up in translation? I don't know of a Dominique at Rabaska but they may possibly be referring to Dominique in Clova that maintains the LePine trail from Rabaska to Clova.

Going to fontbrune tomorrow for lunch via Reservoir Baskatong ....I will let you know how it is. We received over a foot of snow since the past 10 days.

Alain, I phoned the club directly and yes they had problems with rights of way in La Macaza but it has been resolved and it is opened. They sent the groomer towards SMDS.

My bad, I knew his name is Martin but didn't realize her name was Dominique.

I saw Monker years ago at Lac Edward!!

He was liberated from a hotel lobby on the south shore of Gaspésie and jumped on with us many-many miles ago. 

Long story, but I thought his talking was a JD-induced hallucination at first, and have since come to terms with it.

Ya, I thought that was a male name, when she came around the corner the first time I met her expecting a man you should have seen my face lol. My understanding is Dominic is the male version of the name.

Hi PLAYHARD ,

Have you been to Devil's Mountain and Chute du Windigo (water falls) before?

If not a slight route change across trail 322 on your way to Rabaska will take you right by them. If the chalet at top of Devil's mountain is open may be a lunch stop option for you.

I"m sure the cabins are real nice. But I'm sure Tony might like not having to go back outside for dinner and  breakfast. 🐾  :)  

Hey, either way real nice place,people and food. 

Heading up in the morning !

Good point, both are awesome, Devels Mountain especially if clear day. I remember many moons ago going to the original lookout in that flimsy shack with large picture window for the view
