GT Rider Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 As we head west the sky is getting a bit cloudy. It’s a great run this time around. We have had a private trail so far (54 miles). I see the lookout sign for Mount Lyall. We go to investigate. As we approach I see about 15 snowmobiles. We get a few pictures and head off to La Cache. towing, iceman, groomer and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 We take a quick break at La Cache and head south on 595. Again the trail is in super condition. It’s a great run down to Pin Rouge. Last time we were in this area there were more deer than I could count. I am taking it easy on the lookout. I am surprised that I only spot 2 and they were shy no pictures. MrGutz, iceman, mccaffrey and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rider Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 TQ5 is looking a bit heat exhausted in spots. After leaving the relais there are a couple of shared plowed roads. While not very long they were ruff. iceman and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledzz Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Great post, nice to follow along with all the great photos. Do you use a GoPro type camera for all these pictures? Surely you arent stopping every time to take a picture? If it is a GoPro type camera, do you have a remote button or something to trigger the camera? Cheers and happy, safe trails.
