Westbound from St Come

Recommended Posts

Five of us arrived at motel St Come Wednesday afternoon. Trying a new spot to launch from other then Shawinigan being this is a western run. Reasonable place $45 each a night, only draw back the town is shut tight! No food! The owner ended up cooking us a fettuccine Alfredo, awesome! Morning plan is to head to point Le Daived on the baskatong. Out of the gate head in the wrong  direction. 40 miles later back on track. Trails pretty woopped around Mt Laurier. Warm temps and traffic taking a toll. Into la point Daived just as it’s getting dark. Beautiful place with a saq! $116 a night for a suite with breakfast and dinner, can’t beat it! Headed towards belle tier in the morning. 230 miles

Used to like to start trips like that from St. Agathe before they shut the railbed down

You could start them in Labelle instead, 45 minutes more on the black trail 117 and lots of parking for rigs.

Usually just drive to Mont Laurier now if we want to do a Western run,  it's all far from NE PA but its all about the same 

Guess that works too. 👍

Val d'Or SC sent me this map back in december. Is the bypass (Old TQ63 route) groomed this year? That's what they told me it would. The stretch in blue under 9 KM.

No first hand experience, but that is what I have heard from several people.

That would only make sense given La Vyerendre is closed for lodging this year.

Being self employed I always shake my head in disgust when I drive by 4 guys watching and 1 guy working, especially when my taxes are paying for it, guess that show is universal anywhere tax dollars are paying wages!!
