mikerider Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Have so much enjoyed your pictures and narratives of this year's journey. It was really special during your extended stay in RDL to get to see you so many times each day. Hope you are having a safe ride home. Maybe in your golden years you can be a hotel groupie like myself and we will see each other all winter. Best to both of you. mike GT Rider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hi Mike, We are sitting at customs. Thanks again for everything. We had a great time meeting everyone at your place. It was fun chatting. We enjoyed every minute. I like to have adventures but it’s way less stressful when you have a home base. I’m learning. mikerider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towing Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hi Jim and Gemma! No you don't keep me too late chatting, it was so fun we would had continue a part of the night if we would had not look at the clock! I just review your report from home on my 28" computer screen, so much easier and a better than on my small cell phone that I had hard time to navigate internet with... You made again an outstanding real time pics report with detailed well wrote stories that make us feel like we ride along with you both. Thank you for having done it again and I admire you both to had did it in real time like this, I know it's much time and efforts behind the scene. Too bad you live so far south, can't ride more and post more of those top class report. We are just back home with 1140 miles and smiles mostly in New Brunswick, can't believe it's already finished... as for report I was already 2 rides behind without reports because missing time before this last trip, now stepping back in my fast rolling life I need to catch back the beat. With all the material I have this last one, it's will be a summer project for sure but I will try to be back on the reporting for my next week ride. I will PM you on some informations you may be interest about NB... Thanks again Jim and Gemma! mikerider, GT Rider and MrsGTRider 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend yesterday desalinating my truck and trailer. I cleaned the snowmobile. Maintenance is up next. Back to work today. I know what you mean about back to the fast rolling life. I don't know where we will end up next season but NB is on the list. Can't wait to see Krikri's pics and your report.

GT Rider Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 If anyone is interested here is the reroute around Nouvelle. The magenta being the old trail. We missed the sign for gas when we were going east. We spotted it on the way back. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted March 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hi JG, I was looking at some pics.

GT Rider Posted March 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I noticed a lot of groomers run without the drag after the storm. JG was tooling around with it like it was nothing. Backing up it crazy drifts with the drag. Awesome. towing and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very talented people make difficults tasks looking easy! You had some very challenging stretches there!!! not for two-up loaded sled... I had the chance to have a solos partner that was making me a trace in the worst sections. Not sure I would have tried yours myself!

groomer Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 hi gt rider and towing !!! great thx for posting the pics...i have a great smile....great colors and very sharp !!! some like to groom with no drag ...because its faster ...work better in the drifts....and less chances to get stuck....i guess for me as a ''tractor '''....must use the brakes to turn ....on a long run ...its going to wear the brakes faster... i unhooked the drag on the sur -trac a few years back after a big storm...about 3 miles west of where i saw you first time in the drifts....big storm....mild temps...snow heavy and not much hp on the sur-trac...machine was out of breath !!! with the drag , its slower...but i don t mind....you just use your head going in big drifts...think ahead !!! great thx for sharing the pics !! jean-guy GT Rider and PLAYHARD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rider Posted March 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Just looking at some photos. On Notre-Dame-Des-sept-Douleurs I thought I came across a clubhouse. The picture shows signs. Bar at the closest door and Restaurant at the farthest. We did not go in. At the light house the small building was hit hard by water from the wind. It was frozen top to bottom. groomer, PLAYHARD, towing and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I would think with a heavy sled like that the best way would be to hit that drift at about 30mph. Should plow right through it with minimal air time😲 PLAYHARD, Florida Snowman and GT Rider 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
