My god Playhard you are a logistics guru ...LOL    That’s cool how you detailed that all out.

one question on Cote Nord gas. You have Godbout down on the list and when we were there about 10 days ago at the ferry dock the guy said no gas in town and no depaneur. ???

Thank You ! PLAYHARD, Just the kind of info I was looking for.

Pas du problem! 

Sometimes my ADHD gets outrun by my OCD and I play deep!

Disclaimer: Errors on gas in Godbout, etc, can be blamed on "the voices".

With so many POI's missing from the latest version of ViaExplora I'll go side by side with Google Maps to see what's really there:

awesome detail

I'm a happy camper when I get as much trail time as plotting & driving time!

And the planning time is still good therapy!

As was WINGING it this past week!

(I think I need coaching on retirement)

Lordy, Lordy holy hijacked thread! LOL! HaHa oh well we’re done anyway! Back to the truck. 83, 355 beautiful all the way to Lac Eduard for lunch. Lotsa sleds from there to shawinigan trails getting whooped. It’s a sat what else is new? Oh well never made it to our planned destination. Improvised and still had a great time. Should be back in 3 weeks for annual end of season Gaspe run! That first pic with Toms comment fits Eric to the T! Perfect!

There is no gas in Godabout, but you can make it to Baie Trinite, however, if you are really stuck...right across from the diner in Godbout there is a ranch house and the old guy there WILL HELP YOU OUT...HE HAS A TRAILER AND STORES ABOUT 20 5 GALLON CANS OF FUEL FOR ABOUT 12 DOLLARS A GALLON...IF YOU ARE REALLY DESPERATE!! Just ask at the diner and he will come out, OUCH!!
