If not I guess it’s gas station lunch. Will be hanging out and staying at Haltaparche Sun night thru thursday or so and dashing about Parent/Clova/Gouin/Wemo/Relais 22 so if anyone passes and see's four sleds by the main building stop by and say hi. Just got off the phone with a buddy from Vermont who is at Relais 22 tonight in group of 4. Said MORE than 12km before they hit Wemo on the 83 (coming from Haltaparche/west) direction about 1-2 pm this afternoon they ran into a plow/grader ripping up and sanding the trail. Said it almost looked like they were doing it on purpose. Also just got off phone with buddy in Parent who say's he thought he heard something about some conflict with the indigenous boys but didn't know details. Here is what Alliance du Nord Facebook says 10 hours ago which is BEFORE they passed thru the area so they must have known about it. Buddy says it's MORE than 12KM. Let's all hope this is not another setback in the plethora of other trail obstacles this year. Buddy in Parent reports more snow south and east of there. "CASEY WEMOTACI, the last 12km are damaged by heavy machinery, please circulate with vigilance and slowly. We will remedy the situation at the next grooming!"

They said it was a misunderstanding with the reserve and they plowed that section and sanded it 12km by mistake. dooright, poltodoo, Florida Snowman and 1 other 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusvt Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) It was plowed when we rode it a few weeks back, just not sanded. At that time I think it was 5-6 miles. They had done an awesome job clearing trees, building snow bridges, grooming and such. The lady at the gas station was extremely friendly. I don't suspect malice here, and gas was under $2.0L.
