I didn't see the cards there, but I gave them one and complimented their extensive investment in trail signage to Israel on arrival and to Sacha on departure, and suggested they (and their marketing person) search on 4-points & Signature on QR and if they like what they see they might want to invest the nominal $100 to help support the cause. I'm sure we all do the same at most places, now we've just gotta close those deals! You can have the commission if Signature-DoubleTree signs on!

Nah, you were right on though, it was that muddy single track, I kept rolling looking for any other cut thru tracks but didn't see any. Looks like it's about 10 miles "the long way".

PLAYHARD Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 When I got in (very late & very wet) the night before, the thought did occur to me that these guys were right across the parking lot if the "alleged" forecast stayed bad. They make it look so dreamy! Well after an authentic Quebecoise dejeuner cassoulet (tasted WAY better than it looked)... And being a pampered pet in general (and having everything dried out) made it all right. Great season-ender last stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Stayed up late (WIRED) so got out casual at the crack of 10:00, and checked the odo from Forestville (a bit more generous than the gps again). After the highway bridge the trails were flat & snowconey on top of grippy, so nice. Had to stop to demonstrate the extend of my mechanical abilities, and re-duct-tape the previously fallen and now saggy Rouski wheel. In the right snow conditions, they make one heck of a scratcher when you're going along and the spring fails! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLAYHARD Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Remember Stabil? No need now with the bio-stuff in the gaz today? And no space for condensation? Less than 300 days before this fill up gets burned! A few weeks ago this crossing right near the shop had 30" drop offs. Uh oh! Looks like Ferme signage on THE OTHER SIDE with 3 industrial blocks to go! Thought for a second about taking chances with hammering over the (very tall looking) tracks and bust thru the barrier on the far side. How hard could that snow be?! Sorry for the mud run baby. Did a trainyard reroute-go-around and she got tucked in nice. Needs a day at the spa for sure. towing and MrGutz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But capitalism & competition, seems good for the sport. Reminds me, Steven one of the veteran bartenders at the Devil's Hole in Shawini was telling his gf: "Americans frown on socialism, because they like to walk their dogs, not eat them" Sorry! Off-topic! Guess I blew that corner. Anyway, I was just thinking I could easily hire a truck to haul my soggy butt out of there if need be.

And no space for condensation? When you say bio-stuff are referring to ethanol? Be careful because fuel with ethanol in it will go bad long before you use your sled again. Also, there is no fuel tank condensation when the tank is plastic, only with metal tanks. IMHO use the Stabil. For all it costs it gives peace of mind but only if you let the sled run long enough to get it through the whole fuel system.

Trailblazer Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Last evening together pow wow splits the group in 2. Jackstraw and a Eric head east to Mattawin while Phil myself and Scranton head north for the hills (more snow colder temps and no towns). Our 6 am departure from the Roquemont would put these boys at the trucks early enough for their long haul home so I pass the message to Mrs.Trailblazer I’ll be home early. Trails are freshly groomed from the night before and are hard as a rock as temps went well below freezing overnight. Well that’s it I jinxed it with the premature message cause not long into the morning departure one of us loses a scratcher and begins to overheat. While stopping every 2 miles to wait 10 minutes for thing to to cool down is not an option, out comes the spare scratcher and we jimmy rig it to the A arm with some hose clamps twist ties and tie wraps, not pretty but did the job for a while. 11:30 arrival at Mattawin we all take care of business and say our good byes, Scranton and Phil are on the black top while I’m just finishing up I see Jackstraw and Eric pull in, did our good byes (hugs’n kisses NOT) and as I’m walking past the Auberge I see 3 sexy looking A/Cs parked in front. 73 LT1 355 360. Snow storm just kicking in as we were arriving. Not long long after black top departure I stop for a lunch break while and while chowing down I’m scrolling through FB, I see a post from low and behold Towing non the less saying he’s stopped in Mattawin for lunch and his sled parked beside those sexy triplets from the photo he posted. Time on the post puts him there about 10 minutes after we left. If we had of known. PLAYHARD, towing, Phil 1 and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
