Jackstraw Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 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 GT Rider, MrGutz, Snowracer and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid Range Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) 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 above 9 KM. Edited January 24, 2020 by Mid Range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
