Francois and I chat for about 20 minutes 

a fine Native young chap

i tell him about my 20 yrs of Quebec motoneige adventures and he tells me he is still schooling and working a job with the Cree Nation

i ask him about people going up this lake (over 100 miles) on a snowmobile and he says “ yeah but not usually till the end of February/ March timeframe when the weather is better. Tells me there are bush trails but not broken in yet at this time of year. I ask him “ how far have you been up it” he says.....about the halfway point. His uncle has a camp there. How many guys does it sleep? He says....4-5

i ask him do you think your uncle would take me and another friend (all pre planned, weather permitting) sometime in March up there for the night....right up the middle of the lake. I tell him ....”we will pay a guide and lodging fee” 

he says “my uncle would love that”

i get all his contact info and said.......”you’ll he from me again mon ami”

before we split I ask Francois .....” hey ....now that I’m a local...where is somewhere else to eat in this town other than the Auberge ?

he says see the bridge (you have to cross over this to get in town) 2nd street , hang a right 

Adele”s is the place

[snowmaster2112]

Let me tell you this my fellow snowmobile enthusiasts.........

you WILL NOT find a better place for food that we all love other than Adele”s

[snowmaster2112]

My brothers from the USA......how’d you like to see this menu everywhere you went in Quebec?

[snowmaster2112]

Outside taking a smoke and as I walk down the side of the building (must stay away 500 miles when smoking now) I see what I’m guessing might be Adele”s daughter making something good.

[snowmaster2112]

I HIGHLY recommend the “Adele”s burger “ that comes with fries, bacon, cheese LTO 6 oz

[snowmaster2112]

[snowmaster2112]

And after you finish that off.....have enough “balls” to get the “extreme carrot cake”

[snowmaster2112]

You’ll have to excuse me now......I have to go get gas and say “auvior” 

i have a date with a girl named “Trail” and she said she wants her ass spanked one more time as hard as I can

Can someone fix and rotate this picture?

Thanks for all of this

 Most of us ride and never take the time you’ve done to get the local feel for these areas. I know i will visit these areas with a different outlook now. Super stuff.

Here are some bonus trail pics heading back to Chibougamau from Mistissinni late this afternoon 

one should take note there are ZERO signs on this trail other than curves/trwisties ones. No kilometer to Mistissini or anything.

there are ZERO structures or places to take refuge.NOTHING

omce you get to the big vast open burnt areas you are about 8-10 miles out from town

[snowmaster2112]

[snowmaster2112]

I stopped by that little place I visited the other night and this morning to take a break. Just like this a.m. no one was there at all.

[snowmaster2112]

I thought I could see some small light in there so I opened the door to see 4 candles burning in there

so I took the time to knee at the alter (been a long time since I had a good prayer) and thanked God for everything in my life. Family, friends, health and of course thanked him for the 20 yrs he has gifted me with the ability to come to Quebec doing what I love.  I also asked him if he could give me 20 more....LOL

[snowmaster2112]

So......I’m blasting out of Chapais early a.m. to bomb the 225 mi. Back to truck. 

Is 1525 miles before January 1st good ??      LOL....LOL...

i leave you with more calendar pics from the depanneur in Chibougamau that I forget to post the other day. Now do you see why I want to buy a house and live in Alma ?

where is you want to go live ?

p.s. Markusvt could you please.....TIA
