Too bad, it is always a loss when we loose a stopping place along the trail. I would have thought the locals would have kept the bills paid.  It is a place I have stopped at a few times when heading back to Pointe a la Croix, same as the little bar in St Margarite coming from the other side.

We've seen several clubs either disband or merge in the past few years - on both sides of the river. Is it because of the same issues we see here in the US (no younger folks joining, expensive sport, inconsistent snowfall, etc) or is something else going on in Quebec?

The old 80/20 rule, same in any generation:

The best 20% of people do 80% of the work. 

Which inevitably causes burns out.

Need to always recruit the bench for succession.

Big!  Thanks for sharing!

Been there under all different conditions, and always a very welcome rest spot!

Never mind when you're there in a blizzard and you can barely see the orange sticks across the street forming an "X", ya gotta love a 20k shortcut to bacon pizza!
